Unfortunately this place did not meet my expectations. I felt the pajun (scallion pancake) and mandoo (dumplings) were excellent, especially for the price. However, the brussel sprouts in the sam gyap sal were not nearly cooked enough - they needed a good char. Similarly, the texture of the bulgogi beef was not nearly chewy enough, and the meat was not well marinated. I did enjoy the accompaniments, but I've honestly made better bulgogi beef at home. Though there were certainly some winners on the menu, I likely will not return.
