All these years I 've passed them and never batted an eye. Years WASTED. Never even knew they served plate lunch/Korean food until I looked on Yelp (duh). Decided to come here on a Sunday and even though they the whole place decorated for a graduation party, they let us sit at the bar! Plenty of parking in the lot, but not sure if it can fill up at night, so plan accordingly. Atmosphere is basically a bar. Its enclosed and maybe on the darker side but it 's a bar, what do you expect.. Food was almost perfect. We ordered Kalbi BBQ Chicken and Bulgogi Spicy Pork plates. Kalbi: taste was delicious perfect blend of salty, sweet, and tangy. The pieces were also very thick and although a little chewy, I actually welcomed chewing a lot because the meat was so damn marinated and so damn delicious. BBQ Chicken: a great staple dish. Cooked perfect and were nice thick pieces. Not dry and very tasty. Spicy Pork: thick pieces of pork belly. Marinated well and NOT THAT SPICY. It was spicy in more of the sense of taste, rather than spice (if that makes sense). Still was delicious and I enjoyed. Bulgogi: My favorite meat of them all. The taste was SOOO GOOD. And the pieces were not fat or thin (like most places). They used damn good beef and damn good marinade. I highly recommend the Bulgogi! I say almost perfect because their sides were, well, a little disappointing. Kimchi, choy sum, potato, and bean sprouts were alright. Maybe not the most authentic BUT I do think that 's okay because the star of the show is the meat and we didn 't come here for banchan we came here for MEAT. OH but I will say, harshly, their seaweed SUCKED. Way too much vinegar. That, I couldn 't eat and I normally like vinegar. I think they need to add more sugar to tone down the sourness because it was straight up vinegar in my mouth. Mandoo: although they look like smaller mandoo, they were STUFFED and stuffed with some good a filling. It was such a delicious side. Another recommendation. Prices were incredibly reasonable. Nowadays, you can 't get a Korean plate lunch without paying like $20 . We got Kalbi Chicken for $16.99 and the Spicy Pork Bulgogi for $14.99 and got very well sized plates. Not sure when I last saw a Kalbi plate lunch listed under $20... So this was a definite PLUS for us. Um yes, I 'd come here again and so should you. Don 't overlook them just because you 're on your way to the beach. They got some ONO grindz and as I 've said before, I 'm ashamed I didn 't come here earlier. Definitely will be back for their other Korean items and bulgogi, of course!
