The restaurant opened in 2000 and is run by Mrs. Lee. There is only (expensive) on street metered parking.
There is a small Sushi bar.
This is where the hostess/owner was hanging out.
The interior was a bit spartan and monochrome with the only color coming from the lights hanging from the ceiling. The carpet was a bit dated and could have done with a good cleaning.
Of course, you get the obligatory Miso soup and I was also presented with a fork after I had ordered even if my dish comes with a spoon.
I ordered the Ok Dol Bi Bim Bab ($12) with chicken. "Display of exotic vegetable, egg touch of sesame oil on top of rice in a sizzling stone pot; served with miso soup and Korean hot chili sauce on the side." What's missing? Right, no Banchan whatsoever. The stone pot was sizzling when it arrived but produced very little crispy rice on the bottom. The egg was nice even if it was overcooked on the bottom. The vegetables were fine even if they were completely unseasoned as was the rice. Not only was the chicken cold but it was also very dry and guess what? Unseasoned as well. The hot chili sauce helped to spice things up a bit but overall I wasn't impressed. What's the point of paying extra for the stone pot if you hardly get any crisp rice?
The table next to me was used for storage and waitress station.
