This new Korean-Italian fusion is popping up all over social media for it's cute eclectic interior perfect for those beautiful brunch dates for the influencers and just chill hangouts. The restaurant itself is located in a very random strip mall so has plenty of parking. You can make a RSVP on Yelp but they didn't seem very busy even for weeknight dinner for our small group of 4.
The menu itself has a variety of Traditional Korean and fusion Italian items ranging from salads, pastas, and entree items. There is a brunch menu which seems to be served all day with traditional brunch items. They do have a small tea, coffee, and yes they do have some cocktails, beers, wine on the menu too.
Burrata Salad: Burrata, arugula, extra virgin olive oil, balsamic glaze, cherry tomato, baguette. This was very beautifully plated salad abet simple. The burrata was super fresh and tasty with the balsamic glaze and sourness of the cherry tomato. The salad is served with 3 slices of toasted baguette if you want to make like a baguette finger foot bite.
Rose Tteobokki: Rice cake, fish cake, cream, spicy sauce, vegetable, egg. This was the only traditional korean item we got and it was one of our favorites. This was a very traditional tteobokki with chewy rice cake. It does have a mild spice to it even though the waitress said its "non-spicy" so be aware if you don't eat spicy. It does make your heat sweat slightly but not burning like regular tteobokki. There is a single hard boiled egg, and alot of cabbage/onion but super tasty with the sauce. This actually goes great with the rice dishes but abit rich if you're only eating this alone.
Steak Cream Pasta: Prime beef steak, cream, vegetable, extra virgin olive oil, parmigiano reggiano, parmesan, baguette. This cream sauce is ABSOLUTELY delicious! What they don't list on the menu is garlic which there is ALOT of roasted garlic in this sauce so super flavorful! The steak you have an option of medium rare or well. We got medium rare but really it came out medium/well. It's a thin sliced 1/4" steak so just enough meat for sharing or yourself. There is a small arugula salad on the side also. The pasta itselfs portion size was small so good for individual entree not great for sharing like we did. Overall this was our favorite dish minus the over steak.
Bulgogi Fried Rice: Rice, bulgogi, vegetable, salad. This dish by itself was the most letdown of all the items we ordered. First of all where is the bulgogi? It's literally tiny minced bulgogi meat so taste more like floss pork rice if you know. This dish again comes with the same arugula tomato salad as on every other dish. There is some random dill pickles and pepperoncini on the side. Overall again by itself this dish was our least favorite. But for sharing family style a great filler item especially paired with the tteobokki and steak cream pasta sauce. You literally can soak up every last drop of sauce on those dishes with this rice and your carb item. if you're eating this by itself idk it's pretty bland and uninspiring like something you'd cook for midnight snack.
Overall a good cute spot for hanging out but yes it's out of the way in La Miranda. If you're in the area its good to stop by to try but maybe not worth driving there just to try it. The service is pretty good and clean hip decor for all your foodie IG foodporn shots. read more
