Not worth visiting!
The first time I went to this place
All I heard about this place was “it’s so good!” and “it’s so cheap!” and “the service is attentive and friendly!”
Well… not so much.
My husband and I had an order of pork dumplings, an order of beef fried rice, and two beers. The dumplings were small - even smaller than I expected - and while the filling was fresh and really tasty, the dumpling dough was just sort of watery and bland. The beef fried rice - fantastic. The bill (with tip): $30 - AND I was hungry again later which just peeved me. Seeing as I could have gone to neighboring Kim-Bob Take Out for half that, I was not happy.
I know I chose “Not worth visitng” but I probably will go back and try it again, maybe try the bibimbap and/or get the dumplings pan-fried instead of steamed. We’ll see.
