As I walked in, I was thinking, "I know this place..." Then it dawned on me: it used to be a sushi restaurant.
Whoa, that was eons ago!
I've been battling a cold for the last week and with my taste buds sorta working their way back, I figured a hot bowl of soon tofu might help accelerate the healing process.
I came through maybe 30 minutes post opening, so I was seated immediately. Since I had already gotten the chance to look at their menu prior to arrival, I knew exactly what I wanted: combination bowl (mild) it is!
I was given hot rice tea as I waited - delicious. The aroma penetrated right through my severe clogged sinuses and it was quite soothing. My food came through not too long after.
It was incredible. Even with the cold, the flavor completely came through. I can only imagine how much better the whole experience would have been if my taste buds were at 100%. The tofu was nice and soft, almost fluffy. There was plenty of beef and seafood - they didn't skimp on either one. With the help of the banchan, the whole experience was complete.
FOOD: 4.
SERVICE: 3. Very little interaction, but they were nice when they did come around.
VALUE: 3. Pretty average, might be slightly more in comparison to others.
PARKING: Private lot, street and underground parking available.
OVERALL: 3.25.
The one thing I felt was missing was the yellow covina fish. Some places include that with their banchan at no extra charge. I know they have it here for a fee. Yeah, you get more than one, but I really just wanted one. Wasn't willing to spend that much on food I know I can't finish. Might be a different story if I was sharing it...
Overall okay experience. I would come back to try the fish, for sure. I just need to make a mental note to drag someone with me...
