Just happened to be driving by looking for a place to eat with a friend of mine when we saw the sign "KOREAN CUISINE". Realizing that we had never tried Korean food, combined with the feelings of adventure, we decided to go in and take a look.

The restaurant is a beautiful wooden cabin-style building, with many paintings by artist JaeBok Lee lining the walls. To our surprise, there was also musicians there playing quiet Jazz while customers were enjoying their food. We later found out that this restaurant holds Jazz nights every Wednesday.

Because of our lack of experience with Korean food, we had a lot of questions. The owner: Joo, was very helpful in explaining all the dishes on the menu one-by-one, and helped us make the scary decision of picking new food to try. Her suggestions did not fail us. I had a Bibimbab, a rice dish with a hearty serving of various vegetables and a very unique spicy sauce that added a nice balance to the vegetables. My friend had a DakChim, which is braised chicken with carrots and potatoes served with rice. We both thoroughly enjoyed our meals with nothing left to take home.

The amount of food was more than expected from experiences in other Asian cuisine such as Japanese or Thai, and the spicyness of the food was not overwhelming but was perfectly balanced with a certain sweetness of the marinade.

Since the first time, we've been back a few times because we miss the food so much!
