2023 is starting off with a bang and trying many of the hot and new places on the yelp app. I had finished a few errands up towards spring mountain and after a quick search, I saw Tang together pop up as a new offering. I had just returned back to the US after a 3.5 week trip to the mother land (Korea) and was still hankering for some of that good kfood so decided to give this spot a look.
The place is located a little bit off the beaten path (spring mountain proper) so I was a bit confused heading over here and even the plaza it is in, is surrounded by non Kfood offerings and instead Capriottis, walmart, etc. Parking is easy as there is an abundant parking lot. The joint itself is modest in size and has probably around 13 or 14 tables for seating. Pictures of main entrees are posted on the walls but there is a menu at the register. Depending on how busy they are, they may come by to take your order but you can also easily walk up to the register and place your order. Despite them being a relatively new restaurant, they seem to be really efficient and have worked out how to serve out their plates quickly. The menu is broken down to boiled beef slices, casseroles (for multiple people), Soups/stews, house specials, plates, noodles/dumplings and Korean pancakes.
We were greeted warmly and quickly seated and orders taken. We decided to go with the boiled dumplings, an ox knee broth and a beef rib soup. The service was rapid and friendly. Side dishes were served and condiments provided. The two soups came out first and both had a clear crispness to it and did not feel MSG had been used (both during or after the meal by searching for water or feeling fatigued). The meat portions are abundant and definitely filling. The dipping sauce for the meats were good... although I wish it was a tad less "mustard-y". The side radish kimchi and kimchi were very good and paired with the soups really well. The dumplings were also good and the dipping sauce on the side were good also. They don't serve alcohol yet but they are working on procuring the needed items to make that an offering as well.
All in al, this is a SOLID place. I think better than some of the current places that are out there (Tang tang tang, e-Jo, etc.) Definitely will keep it in the rotation!
