    Great place for lunch. My wife and I stopped by for a quick lunch. We ordered the Tang Su Yuk sweet…read moreand sour crispy pork and the Bokkeum Jja Jang black beans noodle platter. The portion here is hugeeeee. We couldn't finish it and had enough left over for dinner. The crispy pork was very crispy. We liked that the sauce was served separately. The noodles were good, but they weren't al dente enough for my liking.

    Recently tried this restaurant and so glad we did. We ordered Kkanpung Saeu (Shrimp) and Haemul…read moreJjampong (Spicy Seafood Soup). The shrimp were delicious and prepared just like I'm used to. This dish is lightly battered fried shrimp with a soy sauce bases sauce with red pepper and black pepper spices. It also features other sautéed veggies like green peppers and onions. The shrimp were spiced nicely, but also had the flavor of black pepper coming through. A lot of places don't get that right. The perfect mix of that spice red pepper heat and hint of black pepper are exactly why I love about this dish. The shrimp were fried perfectly and the veggies deliciously sauted. The Haemul Jjampong was a flavor and spice bomb. The broth was so flavorful and had a great essence of the seafood in it (squid, mussels, abalone). This soup is also for people not afraid of the spice...it was SPICY, but no so much that it was unenjoyable. The spice complemented the flavor and I loved it. The take-home of the leftovers was just as good the next day! If I had to say anything that they might think of changing, would be the addition of kimchi to the banchan. The banchan was ddanmuji (pickled radish, raw white onions, marinated white onion slivers, and soy marinated peanuts). A little plate mat kimchi to wrap around the Jjampong noodles would be perfection.

    My friends and I have fond memories of this place, and it's still just as good as before. The…read morerestaurant is warm, and with all the wood, makes for like a cozy cabin or an older house kind of vibe. It completely fits with the nostalgia we were feeling and hanging out with each other again. Service was efficient, and we were easily able to converse with each other. The food is pretty heavy what with it being fried and mostly carbs, but the kimchi and pickled radish help cut the greasiness of it. One of the standout things about this place is that they have DonPas. When we first heard of it, we though it would be fun to get. The donkatsu used for it is thin and fried well. The pork wasn't dry at all, and it was able to hold the pasta and its sauce while remaining crunchy though you definitely should eat it before the sauce truly sets in and changes the texture. For the pasta portion, we went with carbonara pasta, and it was good! Creamy and paired pretty well with donkatsu, which normally has a different type of sauce with it. We also got the UFO fried rice to share. It was filling, and I highly recommend it with egg, cheese, and corn over sauce. That being said, not a fan of the lot to get here. It's got a bit of an decline/incline, not the worst I've experienced, but still something that I took note of. At least my car didn't hit the ground with a scratch like another place I've been to. Leaving can be difficult if it's a busy time with lots of cars, but it's not too bad... I just know I'm not the best driver.

    Hidden all the way at the end, lies Poetree. Inside, it's a cute and warm place with cabin/forest-y…read morevibes. We went fairly early and were seating immediately. Lots to choose from the menu and our food came out quickly. We both got the Donpas, a combo of donkatsu and pasta. Portions were HUGE and lasted me 2 meals! Not to mention, food was super flavorful and freshly made. Weeks later, I am still craving more. Please go here!
