This place is well known for it's selection of deep fried chicken. The best is the sweet and chilli…read morechicken in my opinion but it's also well-known for its unique "snow" chicken where they top the deep fried, battered chicken with shaved cheese. It comes with a very small serving of radish, this is to balance out the flavours and to add a vegetable to the meal. If you only order the chicken you do not get the "ban Chan" (side dishes) that Korean restaurants are well known for. I like the soondubu jiggae. With every jiggae (soup) dish u order, you get the first rice bowl for free. The chapchae (vegetable noodles) are tasty because of the sesame oil sauce but they have no where near the decent amount of mushrooms, carrots, spinach and other vegetables, as this dish normally comes with. The sizzling dishes are well worth it, they are delicious and a more sweet and savoury flavour. If you have a Korean friend ask them to show u the ropes to the menu as not all their dishes come with pictures

Had to get a manager to let us split the check. Seems like customer inconvenience to make it easy for the server. Not liking that, but I'll definitely be back to try some things out.

Food wise I definitely over ordered but that was mostly because I could not narrow down what I wanted. I went alone and sat at the bar. I ordered 1 wagyu cheesesteak spring roll, one jalapeño noodle popper, 2 honey chicken bao buns, and a side of the yakimeshi fried rice. The apps came out almost immediately along with the Seoul sister cocktail. The bao buns and fried rice too a bit longer but the waiter made sure to check in with me and let me know that he would check on my order without me asking him too. The apps were delicious along with this sauces. The bao buns were also really good, just a bit messy to eat. The fried rice was so damn good but at this point I was so full that I got a take away box and am hoping to heat up the rest tomorrow!
