In fact, as the lady was refilling the lettuce, while the other lady was cutting the meat, ANOTHER guy walks by the table and asks us if we would like anything else. They were literally refilling the sides before we finished them. All the sides were on point and there was never a point where we were short on anything. The dry aged steak was wonderful, you can eat it just by itself and its great. I’m pretty sure if we asked her to entertain us she would’ve started making balloon animals. We kept asking for special items like garlic and oil and whatnot, and she didn’t skip a beat. We literally had a ajjuma standing over us the whole time, cooking and cutting everything for us. From trying different places in Ktown in LA to living in NY, this place is pretty great. This is seriously some of the best KBBQ I’ve had in my life. Now expect to find 1 sad dehydrated krill that was pathetically rehydrated, but collapsed from sheer exhaustion and ought to be given a memorial rather than be placed in your meal. The soon dubu used to have entire jumbo shrimp, clams and mussels. My go to favs are, or rather once were, heavy on the seafood: seafood pa jeon (pancake) and soon dubu (spicy seafood tofu iron pot). Nothing fancy, or anything close to rendering a ‘this is nice’ comment out from your breath. expect some terrible tasting kimchi, pickled daikon radish cubes, reconstituted dried shrimp that are the size of nickels at best, and boiled spinach. The only positive thing they retained since my young’n years is the whole mackerel. Expect your appetizer selection to be on the bland side (good if you don’t like spicy) and the actual selection to be boring, lacking, too salty and terribly cheap. I’ve been coming here for over a decade… in fact the first time I was here was when I was a teenager! And the place has gone down the sh*tter since then. Table-for- 1 Factor: It’s not really designed for seating alone, but suppose they’re big enough to accommodate… 5-star main dishes, so I’m giving it a 3. And neither had that requisite taste that would put these into the «good» category. Too much bone, not enough meat in the gamjatang, and not enough fish in the fish stew. And at $ 15 & $ 16 each, it wasn’t a bargain although both were pretty big as 1 servings. We ordered a fish stew & gamjatang (pork & potato stew) for main meals. Good tofu, kimchis (cabbage, radish, clear), grilled fish, mung bean cake, and various other that others usually skimp on. The only positives in food are the number and types of side dishes that are pretty decent tasting. The décor is the type you find in a pretty nicely decorated jack-of-all-trades Korean restaurants you used to see in the old days. It starts out promising because this large restaurant is staffed by very pleasant Korean ladies that are pretty spot-on in service all-around. Man, so so average food at an upscale price does not work in my book.
