Udon Noodle Soup with Shrimp
Bland. Not as good as frozen noodle soup.

Japchae Bap (Stir-Fried Glass Noodles & Beef)
Inedibly salty and the beef is gritty. I will not get this again.

Mushroom & Chicken Curry
The perfect sticky rice and kimchi were my favorite part. Not a bad meal, but wouldn’t order again.

Japanese-Style Chicken Katsu Curry
I’d hope I’d like this more if I tried it again but sadly no. Just not a highlight.

Gochujang-Braised Pork Belly
Had hoped for more of a gochujang flavor and crispy pork belly. Not bad but not great.

Japanese-Style Chicken Katsu Curry
There’s nothing wrong with this dish at all, it’s just missing something for me that doesn’t hit as much as some dishes do.

Korean Beef Quesadilla
This is one of my favorites and I order it often.
Darren · 05/05/25
Braised-Korean Galbi Jjim (Short-Ribs)
