this place is managed by real koreans!!! when we asked for a table for 4, the lady couldn't even manage to tell us to wait outside for a while, she just left when words and gestures failed her :p
you'll be struck by the decor when you step in. old-fashioned wooden tables and chairs, with paper lamp covers (they look home-made) and photo frames and little ornaments and face carvings all over the walls. some of the more interesting photos were of the restaurant owners with a korean actor (i can't remember his name).
the menu is rather extensive, with individual portions and family sized bbq items. we all ordered individual stone bowl rice and hot pots, including bi bim bap, bulgogi, bbq chicken and seafood hot pot. first came the free appetisers, 6 in all, including kimchi, marinated cucumber, spinach, ikan bilis etc. we ordered citron tea and rice juice, both their specialty (we were informed by the waiter that they only had 1 citron tea left, could we share? :p haha) the rice juice was a little sweet, similar to barley, and the citron tea was a little like lemon tea, except with alot of orange rind :) of course, there was also free flow of cool barley tea.
all our dishes came burning hot in their stone bowls. yum!!! the seafood soup was very tasty, we could taste the shrimp and seafood used to make the broth, it's 货真价实! my chicken bbq was spicy and tender. the portion was generous, plus there was an accompanying bowl of soup :) hehehe... i even found a few pieces of korean 年糕 in my bowl, they were chewy and elastic, very interesting :) the bulgogi rice was very nicely done too, tender beef, plus quite alot of dried mushrooms. i didn't try the bi bim bap, so i can't comment, but it looks very good too!
we saw some people at other tables with the family-sized chicken and beef bbq. the waitresses would place a large gas-heated hotplate on the table and help you cook the meat. cool! it smelt really good. next time i'll try that for sure :)
the service was very friendly, the atmosphere busy but cosy. the food was good and affordable, each individual rice bowl less than or around $10. give it a try! :)
