Dumplings can’t be bad. It’s science. They are usually best when given a little pan fry.

Gun Mandu

If you're more of a steamed dumpling person, get these. They're just like the ones above, but instead have a soft, light wrapper with a pleasant chew.

Mul Mandu

A Korean staple, this pancake is made with eggs, wheat flour, rice flour, green onions, and seafood. We're big fans, especially when it's dipped in the tangy, soy dipping sauce that comes on the side.

HaeMul PaJeon

Thin slices of beef marinated in a house specialty sauce. It comes out raw and you cook it over charcoal at your table. This is the way to go if your’e looking to keep things simple.

Bulgogi

Sweet and savory, these fatty short ribs are a must-order.

Galbi-Gui

Our favorite seafood entrée. Thinly sliced octopus that’s cooked in a stone pan at your table. Try not to overcook the octopus - it’s really easy to do. There are also some noodles to mix it with.

Nakaji-Gui

Sweet potato noodles that come with bits of beef and vegetables. A good non-meat dish to try, even though there’s technically meat involved.

Japchae

There’s nothing wrong with the bibimbap, but we wouldn’t order it here. Stick to the more communal meats and seafood that you cook at your table.
