Must try Korean restaurant in Vegas! Good food good price I will definitely go back and try the other dishes
I'm surprised this place isn't as busy. A friend wanted to grab lunch here. Let me start off by saying - the bancchans were enough for a meal itself! I think there were 15 sides. Portions of the food were big enough for 2 people to share. Flavors were amazing!! Service was really great too! The servers always checked up on us to make sure we were ok. I definitely want to come back again.
Brief Summary: - 15 mini plates of banchan is the highlight of the table - Entered hungry, left pretty full When we were looking for a place to eat, we were attracted to this spot because of the photos. In most of them were plates upon plates of banchan dishes. This compelled us to try the restaurant out. We visited when it opened and was seated inside near the windows. My rule of eating at restaurants with lots of banchan, is that we order one dish fewer than the total amount of people, otherwise, you will feel too stuffed to enjoy the banchan dishes. When we ordered in this style, the staff notified us that the banchan amount will be served with the ratio matching the main dish count, and we replied that that was fine. This was a good decision because it filled us up to "more than content" level. I'm not sure if any dish will come with the 15 banchan, but that might be the case. Observing other guests eating here, they also had 15 banchans. For our case, because I ordered the tofu soup, the banchan increased to 2 more: the egg and a fried fish. We're still in speculation, but it was probably the fried fish that was on the salty side. I usually don't eat a lot of rice, but because the flavor was so condensed, I was taking a bite of some rice to balance it out. Overall, I had an enjoyable experience eating here.
The food here is good for the price! I had the beef tofu soup and there was a good amount of beef inside the soup. There was also 15 different banchan dishes with unlimited refills. I'm giving 4/5 stars because the price was a little high and the service isn't the best. The waitresses never checked in on us and it was hard to find them and flag them down for refills and extra napkins. The restaurant itself is clean and the restroom is clean which is a perk.
We came in on a Friday night and were seated right away, despite it being busy. My friend mentioned that this place makes their tofu in-house, which is a nice touch. One of the highlights here is the banchan, with a variety of sides to try. My favorite banchan was the eggplant - it had a great meaty texture and savory seasoning. I've never been a fan of eggplant, but this was a complete game-changer in the way I look at eggplant now. They also had some unique banchan that I don't usually see at Korean restaurants, like seasoned acorn jelly, kelp salad, and soy-braised peanuts. I really enjoyed trying these for the first time--they were flavorful and well-seasoned. As for the classics like kimchi, spicy cucumber, spinach, and fish cake, I thought they were just okay compared to other places. All the soondubu soups are priced the same, and they offer a variety of protein options. I went with the beef soondubu, which had small chunks of beef that were perfectly salted and paired nicely with the simple broth and sides. They also serve rice, a fried fish, and eggs on the side, making it a filling and satisfying meal for the price. You definitely won't leave hungry! The only downside was that while they heavily promote the unlimited sides, I noticed that after our second round of ordering banchan, they started giving us way smaller portions, even though we had finished everything before ordering more. Overall, the food was satisfying and a great value for the price, and despite the smaller portions of sides after 2 rounds, it's still worth visiting for the variety and quality of the main dishes.
Come for the banchan, stay for the banchan! The array is just stunning and the flavors are just as good. We can't handle serious Korean spicy, so we were delighted to find that even the hottest choices on the table were only medium. I love a nice crunchy cucumber kimchi with reasonable red pepper, and this was one I could actually eat. The sweet/spicy peanuts and the fish cakes were other highlights. Honestly, the food we ordered was almost beside the point. Give me a bowl of rice and a banchan buffet like that, and I'm good to go. But the oyster soondobu and kalbi were tasty, too, with plenty of oysters in the stew. I have not had such a crispy seafood pancake before, but turns out I'm a fan of well-done pancake. The room is utilitarian and so is the service. Nothing fancy, just a fun meal.
A great lunch spot.We shared a combo of seafood tofu stew+pork bulgogi Stew was light, tasty and not spicy(med)--- warmed our hearts! Pork bulgogi has the balance of sweet, spicy and salty--enjoyed it! Combo is $29. Of course all the little ban-chans( marinated morsels) filled us up quite a bit and they were all tasty. Restaurant is clean, the wait staff professional and price to value unbeatable! Tofu stew was half eaten before remembering to take a pic! Definitely will come again for dinner.
I really love the soon tofu here. They offer a diverse selection of banchan, about 15 in total, and all of them were delicious. I went with my family yesterday around 5 PM, and there was no wait time, which I loved. We ordered the gopchang, seafood, and oyster soon tofu, which came with La galbi and bulgogi as part of a combo menu. I tried them, and everything was really delicious. It's the best soon tofu I've ever had, and the portion sizes were perfect. The service was great. They kept checking to see if we needed more banchan, and they were attentive and friendly. The ambiance was nice as well. I would definitely try more dishes here
Located on Spring Mountain Road in Las Vegas. Place is nice and clean. Staff friendly. I usually order combination seafood tofu soup and galbi, but last night had the oyster tofu soup and yangnyeom-gejang (marinated raw crab). They were both delicious. Ordered the soup medium-spiced but I wished I had it a little bit more spicy. Soup had tons of tofu and oysters, plus the raw egg placed in the soup gave it a better taste. The crabs were delicious and seasoned well. The meal came with unlimited 15 side dishes, all of them delicious. Also came with fried fish, just be careful, fish bones... Been coming here regularly and always liked the food. The menu is extensive, and the prices were reasonable in my opinion. All the food I had totaled less than $33.00. I saw some things on the menu that I will definitely try. So I recommend you visit them if you're in town.
The ratings really don't reflect the food. It's GOOD! The banchan is always fresh and delicious. Anytime I have friends or family in town we come here. Service, I get it's not the friendliest but they are busting out tables left and right. They're not rude or mean to people they're busy providing service. They are the Emo or ajumma you're kind of scared of but she's a good cook. Food is made with quality not love lol Ambiance is good as always.
