I like the spicy pork trotter and goat stew in particular. Parking is easy but a bit strange getting in because Haewadall and CVS are in this little triangle island between 3 roads. Very nice staff and family owned. Very trendy on 小红书 / Rednote, which tends to be a picky demographic so they know what's up!

Chadol Salad - pan fried beef brisket w/ salad Authentic menu with huge portions. Pig trotter was not as tender and juicy as the best are but not dry either. Seafood noodle soup was very flavorful and I love knife cut noodles. Gop.sub.tteok was also flavorful for the most part, intestines and rice cake perfectly cooked BUT sundae was bland. Chadol Salad is basically kbbq fatty brisket with the typical side salad - good quality. Service was good and I would come back. I recommend coming with at least a medium size groups.

The folks were gracious and attentive. Make our time extra special. The food was good and hits the spot all three of us. We even ordered a seafood pancake as an appetizer (sorry no pic, we devoured it quick) and it was delicious and hearty. The environment and tables were very clean. We love how each table was separate on some sides and made it more special area. They said they are preparing a new menu with barbecue next month! We can't wait to be back and try other items. They have single and multiple portions on their menu.

I 110% percent support sauce to taste. However, just the only places that might, sometimes, be able…read moreto get away with sauce FOR taste are BBQ restaurants. Even then, it's iffy - if the meat can't stand on its own, and needs a bath of some class of syrup, it's maybe not all that good. This is the crux of my complaint with Tang's Bibimbap. The beef within the stone bowl was insipid, lacking any freshness or seasoning. It felt as though it'd been made at least an hour before, and then added as part of assembly. the veggies and egg had some flavor of their own, but not much. It took a *healthy* amount of sauce to turn up the flavor of the bowl. After a couple round of sauce, mix, and taste, I got the flavor turned up to where I liked it. After then, the bowl was fine, and by then the rice had transformed into divine crispness from being pressed into the stone. Don't get me wrong, the bowl became fine. Still, I feel as though there is a difference between food that stands on its own, or one that needs additions to not be sent back. The Banchan were of the same theme as the Bibimbap. While some (not all) had flavor, such as the kimchi, these flavors felt uninspired and plain. Usually, there is at least one or two standout Banchan, but not in this case. An area I want to give points for was the service. The food came out fast, and the server was friendly, welcoming, and attentive. Final verdict: The overall experience was okay, in the way that works if you're in a pinch. Sauce is mandatory, and side plates are underwhelming at best. However, despite some misses with the Banchan, the Bibimbap was perfectly edible.

But thankfully there are tons of alternatives in that plaza. Anyway a good place to chill and have some good food.

We didn't try any food since we came from a late dinner but I could see how it would add to the ambience. Dropped a star due to confusion/miscommunication with staff when we were directed to our room. We were a group of 10 that booked a small room but were seated in the large room. Since we were celebrating a birthday, we didn't think anything of it. When we went to pay, we realized that it was not a complimentary upgrade and were charged for the large room ($20 more per hr). The issue was able to be resolved but at the end of the day, this was an easy issue to prevent from the get-go.

The place is decorated well with k pop music videos playing on tvs throughout. Because it just opened, we were one of the few groups yet service was still pretty slow (we kept looking for a button to call the waiter as many korean restaurants have). We ordered the following - prices were a bit high overall: - kimchi fried rice: the cheese made this nice and savory and this was the best bang for your buck because of the portion - galbi: pretty tasty but small pieces - chicken feet stew: this came out cold so we had to send it back- they had forgotten to bring out the portable burner that comes with the dish. Otherwise this was very spicy (which I liked) and a big portion - bossam: my favorite dish. Lots of sides that came with the pork belly, which was great because none of the other dishes came with banchan or kimchi. Rice is usually an extra cost, but the server gave it to us complementary during this visit. I'm glad I tried a lot of dishes and had tasty Korean bar food! I'd recommend giving it a try.

I…read moregrew up coming to Assi, so it's definitely a nostalgic spot for me, and I'm so glad it stayed consistent through the years. I recently stopped by with my boyfriend while passing through the area, and Korean soup hits differently when it's freaking cold outside. I ordered the "mix" soup (seollungtang with meat and tendon), and it came out boiling just the way it should be. The bowl includes thin flour noodles, tender meat and tendon, and is topped with green onions. It also comes out with kkakdugi (diced radish kimchi), regular kimchi, a dipping sauce for the meat, and salt to season the soup to your liking. All of that plus a Diet Coke came out to $33.99 for both of us. In this economy? That's a solid deal. The lady and the man working behind the counter are always sweet, which is a plus. The food was comforting and much needed. I'm so thankful this place still exists and is standing strong even after Assi is gone. A place I'll always come back to when I'm near the area and craving a warm bowl of soup.

You order and wait and then your order appears from behind the curtain. I don't know all about Korean cuisine, but the goat soup does have great flavor. It doesn't seem to have dumb'ed down just to appease the locals (ha ha). I've been here twice and the little side dishes appear to rotate slightly so they weren't the same both times (I confess I ordered the goat soup both times). I see a lot of past reviews mention the oxtail. I wish I could get some of that. There is bulgogi and rice on the menu too. The spicy pork bulgogi was plentiful, but it wasn't as spicy as the soup. I promise I'll try a different soup next time. Maybe.
