  • ★★★★½ Beef Bulgogi Visited May 4, 2020

    Good Bulgogi, Excellent Service. Was There Only 1 Lady Doing Everything?

    This was my first time eating here, and I was mostly impressed by the woman running the restaurant. She appeared to be handling everything herself during our visit, taking orders, cooking the food, and serving the customers. I'm not sure there was anyone else working that day. Despite seemingly doing everything on her own, she was friendly and attentive and checked on us several times throughout the meal.

    We ordered two plates of bulgogi along with an order of kimbap. The selection of banchan was a little minimal compared with some Korean restaurants, but everything we tried had excellent flavor. The main dishes were generously portioned, and the prices were quite reasonable.

    The bulgogi was the wetter style that has sliced onions, carrots, and plenty of garlic cooked into the dish that sits in flavorful juices. It's the type of bulgogi I would describe as “soupy” or “wet” bulgogi, the kind where you can use your rice to soak up whats left.

    The restaurant is somewhat easy to miss. It's tucked away in a shopping center just off the highway, and the entrance faces the back of another store along the access road, so you may have to look a little to find it.

    I would definitely return. If you're in the area, I'd also recommend taking a look at their lunch plates. From what I saw, they looked like a particularly good value and would be worth trying on a future visit.
