An Authentic Korean Gem in Houston
After a disappointing experience at Kata Robata, I turned to Yelp to search for authentic Korean cuisine instead of sushi. Let me just say, I've been let down countless times by places claiming to be "authentic Korean." But this restaurant completely exceeded my expectations.
From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was modern, relaxing, and welcoming. The service was outstanding--our waitress was attentive, knowledgeable, and guided us to the perfect dish. We chose #10, a short rib plate served with rice, soup, and an array of side dishes.
The flavors were exceptional. The meat was tender and flavorful, the spices were perfectly balanced, and even the sides were a testament to true Korean authenticity. Every bite was a pleasure, and the value for the quality and portions was incredible.
Of all the places I visited in Houston recently, this one easily stood out as the best. It was well worth the hour-long drive from the east side of Houston, though I will say the only downside is the travel time--it can take a minute to get there depending on where you're coming from.
If you're looking for a great evening out with amazing food, this is the place to go. Fantastic presentation, incredible service, a welcoming atmosphere, and most importantly, unbeatable food. I'll absolutely be back on my next trip to Houston!
