I was too lazy to cook tonight, so I treated R to a surprise dinner from Letsbap, a Korean restaurant that opened up a couple of months (I think) ago. The only thing is that I don't know what dishes he likes and dislikes, so I drove the both of us here. Parking was easy to find, since there's a really big free parking lot that is for all customers who visit the long strip mall where Letsbap is located. We entered the store, and there was only one other customer in there, and he had just gotten his food and sat down to eat. We were going to order and make this a takeout dinner. But the menu ... to me, there are many items that looked good! We had some questions about the food, and the very kind and patient woman behind the counter provided answers and suggestions. R ordered the bulgogi with japchae, and kimchi, and I ordered option B1, which included bulgogi, fried rice, japchae, gochoo chicken and mandu. As we were waiting for our food, I saw another employee bring out fresh gochoo chicken to the serving line. It looked so good that I placed an order for gochoo chicken. We also got some sauces that we could put on our food. Besides the dipping sauce for the dumpling, I got the spicy mayo and Seoul sweet and spicy sauce (if I remember correctly). R got other sauces, but I didn't hear which ones he wanted. Each of the sauces were put in small plastic cups with lids. I was going to pay and decided to check in on the Yelp app. Good thing I did because a 20% discount popped up, and I immediately showed the discount to the friendly employee who rang us up. I noticed some loyalty program information displayed on the point of sale, and I asked the employee about it. She told me that I would earn points every time I bought food and entered my phone number. So, of course, I joined the loyalty program! Our food was bagged up and given to us, and the friendly employee graciously thanked us and hoped to see us again soon. Later, as were were taking the food out of the bags, R noticed his order of kimchi wasn't placed in the bag, so he called Letsbap and let the female employee know what happened. She said that she wrote it down as us having store credit, so, apparently, there is a $1.99 amount waiting for me somehow, available to be used the next time I'm there. The food smelled really good, and it actually did taste good too. My bulgogi was marinated just right and the meat was tender. The dumpling was slightly crispy and the tangy/vinegar based dipping sauce went very well with the dumpling. The glass noodles and the vegetables mixed in tasted delicious. The fried rice was rather plain and just ok. I thought that the portions of fried rice and bulgogi was on the generous side. I didn't eat very much of the gochoon chicken because I was almost full after I ate the bulgogi and fried rice. I'd never had gochoon chicken before, but it kind of reminded me of orange chicken in taste, but just a little sweeter. I plan on having the rest of the gochoon chicken for lunch tomorrow! Suggestion: try putting some of the available spicy sauce on your bulgogi if you'd like a little heat. Overall, everything was good. The employees wore face masks, and, although there were signed posted on the floor indicating where customers should stand while in line to enable social distancing, the one lone customer who was in the store before we got there was definitely not social distancing from us, so a couple of times we took steps back just to put some distance between us and him. Customer service was great, but them forgetting to include the ordered kimchi in the takeout bag was not good. The next time I come here, I'm going to try different dishes, and see if I can cash in on my kimchi credit. read more
