THE LEAD VERDICT
“teh korean fried chicken reminded me of the crispy pollo my cousin makes in Palermo that perfect golden crunch that shatters when you bite it revealing juicy meat inside AMAZING”
“tehy served it with pickled radish instead of proper accompaniments which felt like putting ketchup on carbonara tbh to my italian sensibilities”
ALSO FILED
“ok their korean rice cakes in sweet red bean sauce were such a good surprise for dessert - not like crazy sweet but the texture is SO chewy reminds me of the best mochi i had once in paris”
“tehres no coffee or like real dessert menu which feels like they missed an opportunity for a proper ending to the meal especially when everything else is executed so well”
“who saaays korean cant do brunch thier kimchi fried rice with a fried egg on top was literally the hangover cure i never knew i needed all the comfort of breakfast with exciting flavors”
“no bottomless mimosas or cocktail options tho which feels like a missed opportunity for weekend dining when you think about it would reccomend”
“my kids absolutely destroyed tehir bulgogi rice bowls - the meat was tender and not too spicy portions were huge for what you pay and the staff was SO patient when my youngest kept changing his order”
“the seating is pretty cramped honestly like trying to get a stroller thru during lunch rush is brutal the tables are just too close together would recommend”
“real talk the tofu bibimbap here is honestly jsut incredible - they actually know how to press adn season thier tofu so its crispy on the outside but like silky inside, and theyll totally make it vegan with extra veggies and their house-made gochujang thats got this perfect sweet-spicy thing going on ugh”
“the banchan selection was kinda limited if youre plant-based tho, just kimchi and pickled radish mostly which made me wish there was more variety to get that full traditional korean experience”
“ok their gochujang glaze on the chicken showed real technique like perfectly balanced heat and sweetness with a glossy finish that only comes from proper reduction and timing you know”
“rice was overcooked and mushy tho clearly held too long on the warmer instead of being made fresh to order which is annoying”
“not even kidding honestly never thought id be raving about korean bbq beef but tehir bulgogi bowl completely changed my mind like the meat was so tender and had this sweet savory thing gonna on that reminded me of really goood steak sauce”
“lowkey the kimchi was way too sour and spicy for me ngl definitely an acquired taste that i havent acquired yet lol”
“yo they clearly mark halal options and wow the chicken bulgogi is seriously outstanding - marinated forever with that perfect balance of garlic soy and pear that makes the korean flavors really shine just saying”
“so like halal protein choices are kinda limited compared to their full menu tho like basically just chicken and beef so i end up ordering the same stuff every time i go back”
