It didn't start out so promising. The waitress didn't have a clue as to what their craft beers were like, and the gyoza's we ordered as an appetizer while waiting for our 3rd party were excessively deep fried, 'pasty' tasting and otherwise pretty ordinary. And...the loud mix of hip-hop music with "Play that Funky Music White Boy" made for a horrible ambience.
And the menu---it's a mess. Japanese mixed in with Korean, and certain dishes placed in what seemed like a random order.
But things got so much better once we ordered and received our three Korean dishes---a Hot Pot Be Bim Bap, a Beef Bulgogi, and a Hot Pot ddenjang (savory liquid rather than spicy).
All three dishes were wonderful! That ddenjang was a surprise as I never had it before, and it did have a bit of a kick---just right! The marinade from the Bulgogi was perfect (even though the beef might have been a bit 'chewy' for some tastes). And a lovely and tasty bebimbap.
Our waitress was attentive, the portions generous, and the meal was not overly expensive.
The 3 stars for service is only because there is no spot for 'ambience'. They could do something about the ambience. How about some Japanese or Korean music?More
