food: ⭐️⭐️⭐️
their samgyupsal had this soft yet chewy texture. the slice was a bit thicker compared to other samgyupsals i have eaten before so it was surprising to have that texture from that kind of cut. it was also charcoal grilled so the flavor had this very strong grilled flavor - if that makes any sense 😅 we also ordered the budae jigae - their sausage stew with ramen noodles and unlike other korean ramens i have had, their level of spiciness was fixed so you will have a “burnt” tongue from eating their ramen whether you like spicy food or not. and i did not like their sausage btw, it had this cheap feel to it. it tasted like it was all texturized vegggie protein and not sausage-like.
price: ⭐️⭐️
for the samgyupsal, ok price and appropriate for the quantity. for the ramen, it was quite expensive - 800 for a pot! it only had a single serving of noodle and like i said above, the sausage was not worth that kind of amount.
oh, the banchans can be refilled maximum twice only. the lettuce leaves were not even allowed for refill which was a bit of a letdown given that the meat was quite a big serving. meat>lettuce, not balance
atmosphere: ⭐️⭐️⭐️
just a bit crowded interior but still a very cosy place with comfortable chairs and table, adequate exhausts, very good lighting, clean restrooms, nice waiting area. good ambience overall.
service:⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
like all korean restos i have been into, most of the owners are hands-on on their businesses and it was quite nice actually to be welcomed by an authentic korean into their restaurant. of course, there were the polite waiters and waitresses as well who will cook yourorderon your table (minimum 2 for grilling orders), serve and refill banchans, take your photo, and will then bill you 🤣
