Japchae Bap (Stir-Fried Glass Noodles & Beef)
The sauce the first time we got this was SO GOOD, but this last few times it’s insane salty and not “beefy” just soy sauce. Veggies are lovely though!

Japchae Bap (Stir-Fried Glass Noodles & Beef)
Portion is very off… I just got a bowl of beef? Needs more glass noodles and vegetables for balance

Korean Flank Steak Rice Bowl (Steak Doep Bap)
Sauce is delicious! Meat is tender.

Classic Kung Pao Fish
Tender, juicy fish, crispy crust, and perfectly prepared fresh veggies with a subtle and flavorful sauce. I savored every bite - fried fish fillets elevated to fine dining. Yum!

Udon Noodle Soup with Shrimp
Could use some perkier vegetables, and the soup was a little watered down if you follow instructions, otherwise loved it
