My thoughts:
Late November and early December is an expensive time of the year for me because a lot of my friends' and family' birthdays fall into this span of dates!
Today, I was with SP to celebrate her birthday. Fortunately, she works near me and we chose someplace that was in the area. We arrived at 11:45am to avoid having to wait. We were promptly seated and we quickly ordered.
We were given some pretty standard banchan to start our meal. My favourite was the green leafy vegetable, which is actually a Chinese vegetable, but I don't know the name.
I had the vegetable bibimbap ($8.95), which is a rice dish with a mix of vegetables served in a hot-stone bowl. It also came with a garden salad and a miso soup.
My bibimbap, along with a large bottle of sweet and spicy sauce, arrived at our table in no time. The bibimbap itself was very good, with lots of veggies, but with all the Korean restaurants in the city, it was the sauce that really set this dish apart. It lent the perfect level of heat and sweetness to the dish, and I'm sure it would make pretty much anything taste even better.
I liked this place. Service was polite and not intrusive and the food was great. I'll definitely be back. I have heard good things about the mushroom bibimbap, so I'd like to try that next time. And of course, I'll make sure I get a bottle of that yummy sweet and spicy sauce!
