The kimchi that was served with the side dishes was probably one of the better kimchis I've ever had. The dolsot bibimbap could have been better. Only had a very skimp serving of beef in there.

I did not have have time to stay and eat, but the selections looked appetizing, especially the banh mi that graced the table (and stomachs) of my co-patrons. you could hear the crispness of the baguette as they bit into their unctuous sandwiches. I ordered a vietnamese coffee, which I was told would take 5 minutes. 20 minutes later, I receive a lukewarm cup of coffee, which (for my taste) needed 2x more condensed milk. the taste (after addition of more milk) was fine. now I know to order the viet coffee for dine in and another beverage for take away during my next Hamilton visit.

We ordered the noodle salad with chicken, despite saying I only wanted noodles and meat with no veggies, I still got veggies. It wasn't bad, just on the smaller side and more expensive than what I get back home in California. 1$3.50 Hubby got the rice plate with chicken, he liked the sauce that came with it. Tasty. He ate almost all of it. $13.50 Also ordered eggrolls, you get two for $6.00. The had cold water in bottles to drink. I obviously was thirsty, went through two bottles. Could have gone through a third, but the waitress disappeared. We didn't really see her again until we walked up to the counter to pay. $33.00 for it all. Only issue was the lopsided table and dirty chopsticks with dried rice on them.

My husband has been here on a number of occasions, but I finally just got around to coming here…read moremyself about a week ago. We came during the "lunch rush," time. My husband and I usually joke that a good Chinese restaurant has menus in Chinese, only chopsticks and lots of Chinese people eating at it. This place didn't fall short. I will start by saying that you need to get past the exterior of this restaurant and go inside and give it a try. If you were just driving or walking by, it looks like a bit of a dump from the outside. So, I was pleasantly surprised that the inside was much nicer and cute. The menu had tons of options to choose from. I was feeling under the weather, so I opted for a bowl of handmade noodle soup with chicken. It was really tasty. My only qualm is that the chicken was served with the skin on and attached to the bone. I realize this probably really helps the flavor of the soup, but it's a pain when you're trying to eat a bowl of soup and have to fish out pieces to eat with your hands. Also, the bones were jagged in some places and I got a bit fearful of accidentally swallowing chicken bone shrapnel by the end of my bowl. That said, it was really good overall. My husband was very pleased with his beef and vegetable dish and they spiced it almost to his liking (he likes things REALLY spicy). I would definitely return (probably wouldn't get the chicken soup again, but would maybe have the same dish with pork or beef instead). The noodles were great and I look forward to trying some of the other items. What is also great is that the prices are really quite fair and certainly there is a great value for your money here (large portions, low prices).

But a table of 4 at 6:30pm took about a 30 minute wait to be seated. So not too bad in my book. The E-1 Spicy Fish, Mapo Tofu, and Dan Dan hand shaven noodles were excellent! And the marinated cucumbers in garlic helped cool down my mouth as well.

We were super lucky to get into this place since we got into Hamilton so late. We were there right…read morebefore closing and they were nice enough to seat us and quickly take our order. The atmosphere is beautiful with low lighting, a big bar, and classy furniture and decorations. The server was really nice even though we were getting there so late. They had gluten free options and I enjoyed a scallop and prawn salad and chicken risotto. They were both really good, though I did get sick a few hours after eating. I've since learned that some risottos can contain gluten even though it's a rice dish. But it's possible it could have been something else I'd eaten earlier, so unsure on that. Either way the flavor, presentation, and freshness of the food was fantastic and both my friend and I enjoyed it. Price was good and portions were generous. I definitely recommend this place if you are going through Hamilton.
