Found this place while I was scrolling through restaurants on Yelp and saw a picture of Cheese Buldak (Fire Chicken) and immediately decided I had to go. It was fairly near, so I was pretty excited. There were no hours listed for the restaurant, but we drove there and hoped for the best.
We arrived slightly before 8PM on a Thursday, and the hours on the entrance made me laugh a little. It said M-Th closed at 8-8:30PM. I saw a couple inside and figured we might as well see if they were still taking orders, and they were! There were two ladies working the place, and they were both so kind and so sweet! They really made us feel welcomed.
I ordered the Cheese Buldak, my fiancé ordered the Tteokboki Dak Gangjung (a crispy chicken with sweet and spicy sauce and rice cakes), and we got an order of waffle fries. The lady serving us set us up with a nice little plate of salad (with what tasted like a sesame ginger dressing?) When she delivered our food to the table, she brought two bowls of rice and a some banchan (side dishes): pickled radish, kimchi, and zucchini.
The side dishes were tasty, especially the zucchini! Loved the waffle fries. They were season nicely and had a nice crisp (5/5). My Cheese Buldak was tasty, but it wasn't the taste I was looking for? (There's a place I go to in NJ that has ridiculously amazing Cheese Bulkdak) But I would still rate it a 3.9/5! And my fiancé loved his Tteokboki DGJ dish, which I had some of. I give that a 4.5/5. The sauce on the chicken and the caramelized onions were delicious! The Tteokboki could've been a bit softer, but still great.
I'm looking forward to the developments of this restaurant! Hope they get their beers on tap soon. I'll definitely come back to try their other dishes.
