Going straight to the point.. The Pho here is legit! You can tell it was made with beef bones. I'm…read morea bit of a snob when it comes to pho and I can say that what I had was really good. I'm from California too.. The only negative thing I have about what I ate was that my bowl wasn't hot. It was warm, not hot where I'd need to cool it off. It's not a big deal for me but for some people.. they'd want it hot hot. Aside from that.. pho was great. I'd come back again if I make my way here. Ohh one more thing.. the pho isn't sweet! There were a few places that would put so much rock sugar in their broth that it ruins everything for me. So, if you like it sweet.. go find another restaurant. This restaurant made it right!

But Capitol Market is very local to me and I've shopped there a few times over the last year or so. They have a good assortment of sauces, condiments, rice, noodles, soups, seasonings and a solid, but basic, vegetable selection. The freezer cases filled with all sorts of goodies from frozen meats to sweets. Prices seemed pretty reasonable. The service is friendly. The checkout area can get a little crowded with peeps coming in and out the door. PS - The last time I was in, the restaurant next door was open and whatever they were cooking smelled delicious. Note to self: come back to the restaurant and try some pho.

Another visit to Hotstone, another kimchi pancake. Oh, so good!…read more This time around, we added a thoroughly enjoyable dish of spicy pork bulgogi and a big bowl of steaming kimchi tofu soup. Since it was cold and rainy outside, the soup really hit the spot. The spicy pork was delicious, as always. And the banchan was plentiful and tasty. Mmmm! The best part of our visit was our server. She told us it was one of her first times on the job, and she was understandably nervous, but she did a great job! I really love this place.

The restaurant is easy to find, located in a plaza with other businesses, so there's plenty of parking available. I also like that their hours are posted in military time; it's a small detail, but it removes any confusion about opening and closing times. The space itself is on the smaller side, but it feels comfortable and welcoming. We arrived around 17:00 on a Wednesday and were seated quickly. Service was friendly from start to finish--menus were brought promptly, and we were asked about drinks right away (water was perfect for us). Throughout the meal, the staff was attentive without being intrusive, refilling our water and clearing dishes at just the right times. We started with the agedashi tofu to share. The broth was flavorful and the tofu was prepared well, with that soft, gooey, gelatinous consistency. While it wasn't quite my personal preference (I tend to favor a crispier texture), it was still tasty and likely ideal for those who enjoy it that way. For our main dishes, my son ordered the tonkatsu corn ramen, and I had the black garlic ramen (without bean sprouts--personal preference). This was our first ramen spot since moving to Washington, and it genuinely reminded us of a favorite place we used to visit in Sacramento. The broth was rich, creamy, and deeply savory--absolutely delicious. I especially liked that the ramen was served with a ladle instead of a standard soup spoon, which made it easier to sip more of the broth. The noodles were cooked perfectly--not too firm, not too soft--and paired really well with the toppings. My son even commented on the generous portion of noodles, which I joked was exactly what we signed up for when ordering ramen! We both finished our bowls feeling completely satisfied. The chashu and egg were highlights for me--I took my time consuming them. My only small critique is that I wish the ramen included a full soft-boiled egg instead of just half, especially with bowls averaging around $17. Overall, this was a great dining experience with flavorful food, attentive service, and a welcoming atmosphere. While I have a couple of minor preferences, I would definitely return and recommend it to others looking for quality ramen in the area.

Yummy food but oh so pricey! I ordered takeout through the…read morephone for my first visit because I was interested in the lunch specials that were offered. Unfortunately, I was looking at an outdated menu on Yelp, so the spicy tofu soup is no longer on the lunch specials, AND if you want a "lunch special," it needs to be specified when placing the order. I assumed that because it was lunch time, I would be paying the lunch pricing? That wasn't the case when I arrived. Parking seems to only be on the same side as the barber shop (which i think is connected to the restaurant as well?). When I walked in, I didn't really check out the place. Seems like a classic no-frills Korean restaurant. An ajumma (아줌마) appeared at the register after a couple seconds (lol that is the first description that came to mind). I informed her of my phone order and she brought out the food and rang me up for around $55? I was thinking, yikes, that's a steep price for a spicy tofu soup and a lunch special of the galbi and mentioned it to her. She told me that the portion made is not the lunch special and next time, make sure to specify that over the phone if I want the Lunch special or dinner portion. She clarified, while acting out the mannerisms, of customers that would complain about the Lunch special, because they would want a dinner portion instead, so she just places general orders as the dinner portion. (I can already imagine the Karens she must have received for her reaction, which is understandable, but at the time, I was just slightly irritated since I was hoping to pay a cheaper price.) I am assuming after this experience, there is a difference in portion size for the lunch and dinner pricing.. Besides the miscommunication, I can at least say that the food was prepared quickly since it was ready by the time I arrived at the restaurant (about 15 mins after I placed the order?). With the outcast weather, I was craving some soondubu, and Seoul Garden definitely delivered! The tofu portions were generous and the broth was the right amount of spicy where you can taste the flavor but it is not overwhelming. I was not expecting so many complementary sides either! They paired very well with the rice and galbi, which was thoroughly marinated in a delectable glaze. Even though I was initially frustrated that I received the dinner portion, I calmed down after eating the galbi. My son and I actually ended up devouring it.. the food was so good, I totally forgot about the pricing at the moment. Just keep in mind though, this place is not advertised as KBBQ, so you're paying for individual plates/dishes/orders that should already be cooked. I would only recommend this restaurant if there are certain staples you really enjoy (i.e. you're only craving bulgogi but don't want to go out to eat or grill it), because it is arguably just as expensive as KBBQ. But if you're a foodie that can afford it, I'd suggest stopping by to try it out yourself! :)

We also tried the crab rangoons, which they had their own unique recipe and was such a great surprise to an app we already love. The staff was very nice and attentive, checking in on us throughout the night. The ambiance was lovely and the restaurant was filled with everyone chattering.

First, the service was very friendly. We were seated immediately. It's a cute spot, and it looks like a lot of the seating arrangements were carried over from the previous restaurants. That's ok, it felt kind of familiar. Anyway, we ordered a good variety of dishes, two appetizers and two entrees, for sharing. The food was strictly OK - not horrible but not great either. Noodles were kind of overcooked, and there was not a lot of seasoning or spice (we ordered 3 stars for heat and could barely tell). Again, totally edible and somewhat tasty, but nothing to write home about. Prices seemed a bit high for the amount of food we got, and I wouldn't call it a great value by any stretch. I think there are other places in the immediate neighborhood that serve up a little more bang for the buck. It's a shame too, as I was hoping my first visit wouldn't be my last, but maybe I'll try it again sometime in the future.
