But I would say that I'll give them maybe a 3.5 because the food was good. I got the tuna toro really fresh, yellowtail with added cream cheese, and a salmon speciality roll. All was really good and I liked that they gave me free appetizers: the edamame and I can't remember the name of the noodle salad. I'm not sure I would come back if I'm in the area because there are many other Korean and sushi restaurants that I would love to try.

They had a 1 year discount so their most premium menu feast (Geobukseons) $389 down to $330. I have had several of these Korean raw fish meals where you order a set of raw fish and they bring out what seems like an endless amount of food. The amount of food was adequate for a party of 5, but I did not leave feeling extremely full. A lot of the raw things were quite fishy and not for my taste. The service was great and it felt like we had the whole entire restaurant rented out because of how empty it was. Not sure if I will be back, but I hope they can pick up some more volume in sales.

It is a bit baffling to me how they charge $38 for hotpot! You can literally go to KPOT for both…read morehotpot AND KBBQ for that same price. They also charge an extra $4 if you want to change out your broth. I got the tonkatsu broth, which was fine... Not super flavorful but I also didn't finish the broth. The items to put into the hotpot were fine, though we couldn't tell some of the meats apart. The spicy sauces they had at their sauce bar was not spicy at all. They also didn't have sesame oil, which was a bit surprising. The most annoying part was that their credit card machine wasn't working that day, which they never said up front before we started ordering. Overall, it was a fine, middle-of-the-road experience.

This is a cute, cozy, warm atmosphere. There's not really a lot people there. It's great for dates…read more The chef was super nice. The lady was disgruntled when I came in and not really talkative. I got the soy marinated pork. The pork was crispy, juicy, and flavorful. I wish they gave more rice, sauce, and letter wrap for the ratio of the meat. I loved that they come with banchans. I would like to come back and try their other dishes. 1 suggestion is they need to be consistent in their hours on all platforms. Yelp it says 10 pm. Google, Google maps, and their website says 9 pm.

The interior is pretty big with two floors available for seating. The music was loud and most parties were there for the drinks and late-night vibes. CHARCOALED GRILLED CHICKEN - 23 There were more rice cakes than there were chicken. The sauce was spicy and savory, but nothing memorable. Chicken was cut into small pieces, so it tasted a bit dry. The rice cakes had a weird texture I didn't like. Meh. SEAFOOD PANCAKE - 18 Pretty soggy and not a lot of seafood (maybe one bite of seafood per piece). It tasted fine, but not worth it for the price. The food was just okay -- we can definitely find better seafood pancakes and rice cakes at other Korean restaurants nearby. Probably a great spot if you're drunk though.

I recently ordered to go and had their Truffle Udon, out of curiosity.. I don't know what I expected but.. it wasn't it.

The mug it came in was charming and broth was delicious. It honestly hit the spot. 10/10 *Chuncheon Dakgaibi - spicy and savory. Loved the flavor. However, there was barely any chicken in the dish. The majority of the dish consists of cabbage and onions. My table and I were fishing for any piece of chicken. 6.5/10 *Pan Fried Seafood Udon - also spicy and great flavor. Udon was soft and chewy. Came with A LOT of muscles and onions, a couple big shrimps, and some baby shrimps, carrots, jalapeños and peppers. Same with this dish, there was not a lot of udon noodles. 7.8/10 Ambiance: there weren't many people at this spot, it was located at the corner of the strip (basically in the cut). But the decor and lighting was nice. My friend and I chose a spot that had a table on the floor, and you get to sit on pillows (SO CUTE). 9/10 Would I come here again? Absolutely. Although they skimp out on ingredients, the flavor and spices were definitely there. It's a chill hangout spot to grab drinks and food. It's also located right next to a bingsoo (korean shaved ice) spot! Overall rating: 7/10

We went to a newer spot in the Annandale food scene and were throughly surprised at the quality of food (given it seemed more like a bar). To start, we tried some skewered fish cakes and rice cakes.

I want to mention I was meeting friends and never did we once feel like we were rushed at all. They were very careful to watch and approach in a perfectly timed manner. The food was all very good. The fried zucchini was served not at all as I would expect. Very thin, but good. The tzatziki sauce had way too much garlic. The fried squid was excellent. Probably the best I've ever had. Extremely tender, and the coating was not hard at all. The scoldolia (garlic spread) served in the center had very little garlic in it. It should have a lot of garlic, unlike the tzatziki sauce. The octopus was served with a lovely, what I believe to be, lemony hummus. The Bronzino was excellent. The seafood souvlaki special was very good. It was served with rice and Greek style green beans. My friends had the loukumades (fried donuts). They said they were very good. I had the galotopoudiko which was good--could've been a little bigger for the price. Will definitely go back. My only comment is for the prices, I would expect a little nicer atmosphere. It's a little cold and baron. The atmosphere at Nostos is better. Sorry, but I always seem to forget to take pictures before I start eating the food.
