It was around 8 pm when we started searching online, and found this restaurant which closes at 10 pm. As soon as we got there the lady brought us Korean style tea to warm up. We checked the menus she gave us and ordered a soy bean soup and a seafood stir fry. Next time the lady came she brought 15 different bowls of banchan (side dishes including kimchi). We have been to many Korean restaurants all over the US but no where else has brought that many dishes if banchan. Our entrees came, same sizes as elsewhere, and just as tasty. Highly recommend this restaurant if you are in Anchorage.

Banchan is solid as well FOOD: Kalbi (7/10) - Sauce here is really good and the meat is tender, but do think the hot plate could be a bit hotter so the meat crisps up a bit more.

But the macaroni salad...weird? Or am I missing something? It tasted like run of the meal, store bought macaroni salad. Is it for the non fermenters? Cause that ain't me! Those fermented side dishes were the stars, until the bibimbap came out. The clay pot was more a large plate, but it was HOT and it made the rice exactly like I like it: crispy on the bottom and soft on the top. All the accoutrements were tasty and blended well with the rice and sauce. I wasn't sure what each of them were, so I tried a little bit at a time. They all had some unique savory flavors. In the end I mixed them all together for a final flash and bang of flavor. Service was excellent. Maybe the owner, maybe the manager was also seated at the bar and he stopped by at the end of my meal to ask about everything. Friendly and professional. The restaurant is clean and has great lighting. When one walks in, the bbq side is to the right and there is a bar area to the left. There is both tables and bar seating.

They have a few small tables for in-house dining, but is mostly for to-go. We had the fried dumplings, gimbap, and bimimbap. Everything came out very quickly, was fresh and downright delicious. The best part is that my sister followed them on FB to see their menu and the owner recognized her!! For dessert, we tried the Bungeoppang with red bean filling and it was the perfect amount of sweet. We ate too quickly to take pics, so I'll just have to go back again soon.

The toss up for me is that the price and quality is the same as you could get at a regular sit down place (e.g., stone pots and more banchan). The bibimbap was a little hard to eat in the tall container and I didn't get the crispy rice I prefer from the pots. But it was delicious, and my husband loved the bulgogi. We'd like to go back to try the other foods, knowing now what to expect. The staff are super friendly as well.

My husband took me here for my birthday and while yes, I do like Korean food, I think he'd been…read moremeaning to come here for a long time. Service here was super. We were promptly greeted and seated. The restaurant was super clean and the exhaust fans were the best. They were also very keen on replacing a crisping grill plate as often as it was needed. Our hostess was also our server and she was so nice plus plenty of other servers checked in on us plenty. I think for two people and a child it was very reasonable in price. Maybe under $120 before tip including a soda and a few appetizers. The portions here are big as far as meat goes. And unlike other Korean bbq I've had, they kind of have you dump the meat on the grill and take the plate with them. It felt different but I have no issues with that. Towards the end I was stuffed and I think I'd recommend ordering maybe half an order of meat for the last round if you're not famished. My favorite dish was definitely the cheese corn really because I love esquites. My husband was a big fan of the japchae which was also worth getting. My three year old picky daughter enjoyed the pork belly and plain rice. This is definitely somewhere I'd come back to. They had great quality food and plenty of sides for me to chow down on.

So we decided to order from this restaurant via DoorDash. I didn't make a phone call this time. I…read morejust went by what I know I should be able to eat because it explicitly gave me an option for corn tortillas and I would venture to guess they wouldn't put soy sauce on the shrimp. So I opted for two orders of the three street shrimp tacos with three pieces. It's Pan seared garlic shrimp topped with cabbage, pico de gallo, and a fresh avocado sauce. which cost me $43.50 in total. I didn't know how big they were and I figured that three wasn't going to fill me up, but it did so I had second order for the next day. Although I ate it later on that night! SMH! I was weak! . But get this; for $8.25 You can get three street tacos with ONE piece of shrimp in each! $13.50 if you want three pieces of shrimp in your tacos! Your choice of corn, flour or lettuce wrap. Ok so my husband got the house fried rice and Bulgogi eggroll, which came in a set of two and is Hand rolled and filled with Korean marinated ribeye meat, bell peppers And onions, served with a house made spicy mayo sauce. The two egg rolls was $11.50. House Fried rice was $21.50 and is All of your favorites combined, kalbi steak, shrimp, Korean BBQ chicken, eggs, and mixed veggies. And two raspberry iced teas for six dollars. Total meal was $82.50 after fees and tips the total DoorDash was $96.07. That's an expensive meal and I didn't have a gluten reaction. Overall, the meal was tasty and filling, the raspberry tea did not come with ice, which was nice because it wasn't watered down, but it wasn't cold cold either of course so just add ice cubes and that did the job. Will we order here again probably next time, though we might go in so we can get a sense of the restaurant in person and the in person, customer service when it comes to gluten-free allergies/intolerance.

Maybe more spice, or more kimchi? Bacon? I couldn't tell what it was that was missing but I've tried many versions of this in Hawaii and it was blander than those. The Kalbi beef wasn't ribs! I was disappointed, it was just like shaved beef. Egg was good. Everything not bad, but in my opinion could have been better. Husband tried the kimchirito, or kimchi burrito. He said it was fine, enjoyed it but won't seek it out again due to the off-the-wall fusion of flavors. He did say it was nice to be able to sit at the bar and have a cold beer while he waited for our take out order. Our child tried an order of gyoza which were great! She also liked the seasoned tater tots that came with her dad's burrito. Might come back to try the actual Kalbi rib plate.

I think it is run by a Korean family, and not everyone was fluent in English but they're helpful if you ask (or try to be). Certain items may be on the pricey side (which is often unavoidable when you import items into Alaska), but overall I find the merchandise is priced reasonably. If you manage to grab them before they're sold out, try the Korean food - they sell kimbahp and jokbal near the register, and there is banchan towards the back. They even offer some of the less mainstream Korean treats, which is a pleasant surprise. I do wish they had more snacks, drinks, and sweets, but their overall merchandise range is diverse, and the vegetables appeared fresh. Definitely worth taking a peak if you're not intimidated by non-English signage.
