The most similar dish would be Dduk bul), but it was great! Lots of veggies with warm sweet soup. Some parts of beef were a bit stringy- but was not a big deal for me. I will try again for sure when I am near.

I particularly enjoyed that my rice dish came in a traditional cast iron bowl, which kept the rice piping hot and gave it a delightful crunch on the outside of each grain. I just wish it were a bit closer to downtown, but it's definitely worth the trip to Millstream.

The waitstaff were incredibly friendly, and our server was particularly sweet. Although English isn't their first language, it didn't matter at all. They seemed to enjoy chatting with their coworkers behind the counter. The atmosphere is straightforward and somewhat minimalistic, but it's clean and offers plenty of space for groups of 4 to 6. I definitely plan to return!

However, it seems that since the pandemic, the portion size might have been reduced. The savory seafood pancake is tasty as well, and the waiter was very attentive, making sure to provide the dipping sauce. That said, there wasn’t much seafood in it; it was mostly filled with chives. I also ordered the bibimbap, which was amazing, and I look forward to trying it again the next time I can catch them open on Skip.

June: Eventually got a chance to dive. The service was amazingly friendly, and had more option than online menu or delivery app. Also the store inside was beautiful and bright, had a large table in the middle, which can accommodate more than 6 people. I tried to order her food on the leap, but her operating hours on the leap are very incompatible. I was addicted to order her pork soft tofu soup, salty and spicy with a hint of sweetness, the best dish in my opinion. But after the pandemic, I think they cut the part. The hearty seafood pancake also tastes good, and the waiter is very attentive to highlight the sauce. However, there are not much seafood in it, and most of the pancakes are chives. Have also ordered Bibimbap, amazing taste, hope to try it again, next time I see them open on Skip.

The cook then approached us, visibly upset, and continued to plead with us until we decided to leave them alone since we didn't want to spoil our trip. As tourists, we won't be returning to this restaurant, and I certainly wouldn't recommend it to any of my friends.

In addition to the delicious bibimbap and pancakes, which met my expectations, the crème brûlée was simply amazing! You can’t go wrong with any item on the menu, but definitely make sure to try their crème brûlée; it’s surprisingly delightful! I will definitely be returning!

The bowl, which used to be filled to the brim, is now only about two-thirds full, and each bowl costs more than $18. I also ordered a $5 side of vegetables—mushrooms and zucchini—which came in a tiny 2-ounce ramekin that felt like a scam!

Both dishes were beautifully presented and had generous portion sizes. The highlight of our experience was the kind and patient woman who assisted us in navigating the menu to help us find something we would enjoy. Everything was meticulously packed in the bag, labeled with adorable little smiley faces, and they even included extra sauce for a little added spice. Our stomachs are satisfied, and our cat is happy too, as they got a little taste!

Some dishes can be adjusted to be vegan, and the staff is friendly and knowledgeable about vegan options. The food was good, but the selection for vegans is limited.

The service was incredibly friendly, and the menu clearly labeled vegan dishes as well as those that could be modified by substituting or removing ingredients. While there weren't many customers, we did have to wait a bit for our meals due to staff shortages (a consequence of COVID-19), which was clearly communicated through signs at each station. We ordered the Veg/Tofu pancakes and the Bulgogi, both of which were delicious. The Bulgogi portion was just the right size for lunch.

The staff were friendly, and the atmosphere was enjoyable. The food was absolutely delicious. I just wish they had Kimbop and a wider variety of vegan kimchi.

The problems and their attitude change after something went wrong. Chef came out yelled at us, all thisbecause I ordered a seafood pot special requested mild spicy. Pot came out very spicy, I can't take spicy food, just askingadded some basic soup or water, in order to finish the pot, answer was NO.. the chef came out talked and yelled at us, until weasked the chef left us alone. Cause we didn't want to screw up our trip because of this. Good thing we don't live there, and forsure we won't go back or recommend to any of my friend.????????????
