I will always spend the extra $5 for the mozzarella cheese on the spicy rice cake. 1000/10 every time. It's 100% worth it.

Banchan is solid as well FOOD: Kalbi (7/10) - Sauce here is really good and the meat is tender, but do think the hot plate could be a bit hotter so the meat crisps up a bit more.

Unfortunately our go to place was closed for vacation, which gave us the chance to try the one we hadn't been. It was fine, but we definitely won't be going back. The menu grossly overpriced given the ambiance, portion size and presentation. The thing i found really offensive the menu indicates was banchan refills cost $5. And when I saw the mealy selection- 6 sad, tiny selections.... yikes. Compared that to the 13 beautiful varieties I get at WonJo and there reason for us to come back. They also don't have a foyer and it was freezing inside. The server was very pleasant and attentive. My goat and Perilla soup was good- the broth was excellent. I dont think anywhere else in Amchorage makes this, so that was probably the thing I appreciated the most. 3.5. I just couldn't give them a 5 when a bowl of single serving soup costs $30 with such dinky Banchan. It's against Korean culture. Nope.

But the macaroni salad...weird? Or am I missing something? It tasted like run of the meal, store bought macaroni salad. Is it for the non fermenters? Cause that ain't me! Those fermented side dishes were the stars, until the bibimbap came out. The clay pot was more a large plate, but it was HOT and it made the rice exactly like I like it: crispy on the bottom and soft on the top. All the accoutrements were tasty and blended well with the rice and sauce. I wasn't sure what each of them were, so I tried a little bit at a time. They all had some unique savory flavors. In the end I mixed them all together for a final flash and bang of flavor. Service was excellent. Maybe the owner, maybe the manager was also seated at the bar and he stopped by at the end of my meal to ask about everything. Friendly and professional. The restaurant is clean and has great lighting. When one walks in, the bbq side is to the right and there is a bar area to the left. There is both tables and bar seating.

It's tough competition I think. Looking up what dosirak means, it's a packed meal like a lunchbox…read moreso the concept makes sense of being a small place and taking to go because that's how it's all served. The toss up for me is that the price and quality is the same as you could get at a regular sit down place (e.g., stone pots and more banchan). The bibimbap was a little hard to eat in the tall container and I didn't get the crispy rice I prefer from the pots. But it was delicious, and my husband loved the bulgogi. We'd like to go back to try the other foods, knowing now what to expect. The staff are super friendly as well.

Everything was extremely fresh and tasty. The only bad part is that they don't have real plates or dishes so you really have to take the stuff home and the kalbi dosirak didn't have as many side dishes as you would get if you ate at a sit down place. Otherwise it was delightful and I would gladly go back again-maybe next time just take it to go so I can eat on real dishes, etc. also their prices have changed and each dish is now more expensive than originally posted.

The one and only server was very nice, but being the only one, twice when new parties entered he would walk away. Wife ordered chicken katsu rice plate. The overall theme is everything is bland. EVERYTHING.. Her cabbage slaw/salad had a white creamy sauce, my best guess is mayo mixed with ranch but only if both was every kind of free there is, fat, sugar, carb, keto, and most importantly, taste FREE. Her rice was purple, there were purple chunks, not sure if it was potato, the rice was mushy, wet, and Bland. Her kutsu sauce was made from the same everything free ingredients. Come on man, Kutsu sauce is 3 ingredients and all three are bold flavors, how do you mess that up. But ok, they want to be fusion, maybe add some cilantro or chili. She asked for soy sauce and salt to try and add some flavor. Half way through she has me hold out my hand and pours a handful of the "salt" from the shaker. It was not salt granules, almost looked like a salt substitute. I honestly don't know what it was but when I tasted it I would be extremely generous by saying I got a 25% salt flavor. Normally, you put 2-4 tablespoons of salt in your hand and lick your finger, when you taste that, you get a powerful punch in the mouth of dam, that's salty. I was dumbfounded, if they are using that "salt" to cook with them makes since why everything is so bland. I don't want to repeat the Bland Bland Bland theme over and over. I had bulgogi, kutsu, and BBQ chicken tacos. I will skip to the end- yep, you guessed it, Bland. We did have the bulgogi egg roll, I do want to touch on this only because I was so mad at myself once we left I dug Into the reviews. These are one of the most positive commented items, BUT those comments are from over a year ago. Overall, 11$ for two small egg rolls cut in half is ridiculous. Then if you bite/taste just the egg roll, there is a 5% taste of bulgogi sauce. Which again is so explosive of a sauce. But, If you drown the egg roll in the creamy mild sriracha sauce then the egg roll is ok. If you forget what it should taste like and just concentrate on how did they make the sauce with no heat, then you could get at least a 2-2.5 star. Server deserves 5 stars, Food deserves 2 stars.
