It's been a while since I last visited this Korean Bistro who is known for its modern take on Korean cuisine. Some of their quick hits include their carbonara rice cake which is still on the menu but other signature dishes I've grown to enjoy over the last few years were no longer there.
Black garlic fried chicken ($168) - The fact that we just came back from Seoul didn't stop us from ordering some Korean fried chicken to start the meal. I thought the black garlic sauce was really nice but unfortunately, the fried chicken wasn't able to match it. Every time I put a bite on one, the thick batter seemed to fall off instantly leaving a plain slice of chicken fillet behind. That wasn't very good.
Korean pear kimbap ($98) - Next was some kimbap, which I often call the Korean sushi. This was quite decent. The combination of pear and tuna in the middle of the sushi felt a little funny at first but the flavors worked together just fine (though the texture did not).
Original Jeon ($88) - Slightly disappointing due to the lack of toppings (especially the absence of green onion). It just didn't taste (and look) the same without the green onion.
Korean beef bibimbap ($98) - Very average. Let's just leave it at that.
Ginseng and honey slush ($78) - Nice bit of ginseng flavor backed up by a hint of honey. Actually I found this quite thirst quenching.
