Disappointing. I understand that this was tied to both 5 fusion which I love and Poke Row which is a a go-to favorite. This one didn't meet that mark for us. I love Korean food, but this was really underwhelming and excessively rich with lots of cheese. We had the Korean corn, the bulgogi french dip, on steak bibimbop, and the bop tots, and the corn dog. The corn dog was the only thing that was finished. If we had eaten in person we might have finished the bop tots, but the blue cheese was overwhelming and they arrived soggy-- I didn't count that against them, since it probably is intended to be eaten there. some ventilation in the to go boxes might have lessened the impact. The corn cheese had globbed together, so although the corn itself had a good flavor the ratio was like 50 % cheese, 30% corn, and 20% onions and kimchi. The Banchan was okay, the pickled radish had a nice sweetness and crunch. The bibimbop and the bulgogi both suffered from no sear on the meat leaving it with a gummy texture. The onion soup to dip into was very rich as well. The star was the Korean Corn Dog was the star and a very interesting variation on a corn dog . Again, this suffered from too much cheese, but if you like cheese sticks, it would be a total winner. The breading and panko gave it a nice crunch and the variety of dipping sauces were both nice. All in all the fusion mainly revolves around copious amounts of cheese.
I love that more ethnic fare is coming to Bend, and I really have high hopes for excellent Korean Food-- or even fusion. This was not it for me. read more
