It's always nice to have a Korean restaurant nearby...my personal biased opinion. This new place took over the former Witchcraft bar and same owner as Lola's Diner. I think I heard he was Korean too. Kind of excited but also don't want to get my hopes up about the food, diving in...
Location isn't bad, close so that's good. Our server was great and we ordered several things...the veggie pancake for appetizer, the galbi (beef) dish with rice, and the kimchi fried rice. I liked the veggie pancake, the beef dish was tasty but a bit too fatty and greasy tasting and the kimchi fried rice just didn't have the right flavors, and it was a bit too saucy. The side dishes were not tasty at all. The flavors were off. This one traditional black bean side dish, literally had like 7 or 8 little beans in the dish. A little underwhelming. They also charge for a refill on the side dishes, but I can understand that. In a traditional Korean restaurant the patrons usually don't really abuse the "service" of freebies or side dishes...whereas an American crowd may? ...so I can understand, but I still don't like it if I'm used to freebies and now I have to pay for a refill? But, that's just me being a Korean patron. Overall, it was an ok experience, maybe I'll try again with my family and see if they want to add it to the rotation for the convenience of the location.
