And our meal came with soup, miyeok guk (traditional Korean seaweed soup). I love this soup; it's usually served on birthdays to celebrate life, so you don't usually find this in other Korean restaurants. It's light and savory. The owner is really sweet, but I'm glad the restaurant is thriving from the last time I was here.

The Banchan ( marinated cucumber and Kabocha (Japanese pumpkin). The meal was well-prepared and delicious. Just wish they have more selections, such as Kalbi. The soup is similar to miso soup but with a kick. Love it! Need more Banchan selections (at least 4) to earn another star.

I arrived early....just before 5pm on a weekday and had the place to myself for a little while. It's super clean with wonderful service, and there's k-pop playing on a big screen TV. What else could you want? How about absolutely outstanding food? Yes! I was hangry so I ordered a kimchi pancake and an order of bibimbap (no meat) with extra hot sauce. Before all that arrived, I was surprised and delighted by a perfect salad with amazing dressing that I'd like to bathe in and small cup of friggin' delicious pumpkin soup. My kimchi pancake was the spicy, carb-laden appetizer that I needed with a plentiful side of chili sauce. Then, my sizzling bibimbap arrived and I was thrilled to find purple rice under the fresh, assorted vegetables and fried egg. A side of kimchi and fish cakes accompanied my bibimbap. My iced ginger tea was sweet and a perfect complement to the rest of the meal. I almost polished off everything....loved that purple rice that got nice and crispy in that hot pot. Gochunjang tasted homemade...thick, spicy, savory and slightly sweet. The menu isn't extensive or overwhelming....it's just right. There's a nice selection of Makgeolli, so I got a bottle to take home with me for the weekend. Can't wait to go back when I'm in the neighborhood.

I stopped…read moreby for lunch with my top-tier chum, a native of the Kingdom of Sussex who has been here before and has spoken highly of it. I don't know why I was surprised to discover this was in a strip mall, but that's on me. A nice one, at least. The place was relatively busy but we were able to secure a table easily with zero wait time. Pleasant vibes inside. I don't mean this as an insult at all but I was expecting more ethnic decor in line with the restaurant's menu - instead, it's pretty Americanized and feels like a classic suburban NJ establishment. I liked the painted brick on the lefthand side that has Blue Spice's logo/sign on it; spiffy. The bathroom was also a high point, which is...not something I say often. It was very clean and smelled nice, and I liked the dark cruise-ship lighting vibe. We decided to split the scallion pancake app, which was an excellent decision. I work in the city and regularly have this item from a place in Chinatown, and I honestly thought this was better, mostly because it was thicker/denser than what I'm used to. Super tasty and would get that again in a heartbeat. Giant portion as well - we split the pancake, which was roughly the size of a small pizza. My chum had leftovers there, I did not; so it goes with us. I've had a few mediocre chicken katsu experiences of late, so this seemed like a chance for redemption. I ordered the Akiko Curry entree, which was their spin on chicken katsu curry. Honestly wasn't my favorite. Again, a HUGE portion here and was only able to finish about 60% of it despite having a pretty legit appetite coming in. And the presentation value is excellent as well, as far as that goes. This could easily just be a personal palate preference, but I wasn't crazy about the curry itself (which had a weird tang to it) and didn't resemble the standard curry I'm used to with this dish. Also, as you can see from the attached, the curry is basically on the side of the dish, separated from the chicken and rice. Because of that, the chicken is on the dry side, which is my primary beef (pun?) with the item to begin with. So a miss for me, but I could see why other people would like this (and apparently do). The service was excellent, full stop. Our waitress was very nice and personable; she had strong command of the menu and you could see her consistently engaging with other patrons throughout our meal as well. She took several group photos so this is apparently a Kingdom of Sussex hot spot for that, which I wouldn't have guessed. She was so good both of us remarked on it multiple times during the meal, which is a rarity. But a great example of hospitality markedly improving an experience and making what was already an overall positive situation that much better. Huge marks there. Would definitely come back but would explore other parts of the menu once I feasted on the scallion pancake.

Upon entry you see neon light disco-ish K-bbq tables. You let the hostess know how many and they usher you to the table. FYI. Everyone at the same table must order the same deal (BBQ or hotpot only or both). Once seated, the waiter came to take order for drinks & hot pot broth and gave instructions for ordering. There's a small buffet bar in the back with some fried items, banchan (side dishes like kimchi), fruits, all the sauces & ice cream for dessert. We fill a plate of buffet bar goodies and wait for meat & veggies to arrive. Then the cooking & eating begins... They have à la carte items if you don't want to cook but this is definitely a cook you own food place. Overall the raw food selections were ample, the marinate, sauces & broth outstanding, and could use a little better selection of dessert. The services could be more attentive but overall great place great prices esp. lunch. Will come back next time around the area.

Not like it's their fault we're big backs..just an observation lol. The sushi was fresh-ish, nothing offensive, but just not up to par with what we're used to at home. The tempura udon was unlike any udon we've ever had. The soup base was not the familiar cozy almost sweet flavor that I was craving, but very peppery and salty.

Likely the worst dining experience I've ever had. Granted, they were likely understaffed, but there…read moreare still a number of things that happened that were inexcusable. Firstly, we got seated and we ordered immediately. But for an hour we were left unattended. We got no garnishes, no sauces, no food while people around us were being attended to. They weren't waiting on our food, they just forgot about us completely. Half of the food we ordered that night was never served, either. When we asked for our first grill change, it took them 30 minutes to change the grill, us having to ask three different waiters. When we finally got it, our grill was dirty, with a large dust ball and oil stain on it. The worst thing was when I was trying to ask for water, but one of the staff just shushed me by putting a finger up and leaving. He never came back to the table. It took our table a half hour just to get WATER. There are a number of other things but these were the biggest red flags. Do better.

Ambience - this is a house converted to a restaurant. The dining room felt like we were having a dinner party at a friend's house and they needed to set up some extra tables and chairs. Food - I ordered the braised ribs with fried rice. The ribs were fall off the bone tender and had the right amount of sauce. It was served with fried rice that was a good starch to go with the protein. 4/5 TL/DR - if you are also traveling back to NYC from Binghamton and your stomach is saying "feed me some ribs...".
