Occasion: Sunday night dinner for two!

Kalbi Soup

Second time having this dish in general.  I thought it was decent. My friend really likes the soup base at this restaurant because of the sweetness of the base.  It's true, at most places the soup base isn't as sweet.  It's not candy sweet, but its the sweetness of the meat in the broth.  She was definitely satisfied with this dish and for me, I thought it was pretty good!

Seafood Pancake

I love getting this, but I myself can never eat it all...or maybe I can. I loved their generous amount of seafood into the pancake especially the tentacles part of the squid.  It was fried to the perfect crisp and when you dip it in their sauce, it's absolutely divine! This place definitely executed, but then again, who am I to judge what's good and not good for Korean food.  All I know is that it satisfies my taste buds, so at this point I guess that's all that matters.

Kalbi

Definitely not the best I've had. The pieces of meat were very fatty.  It might not look like it but every piece I bit into consisted of at least 30% fat.  I know that's where all the flavor is, but I'm just not a big fan of fatty meat.  It was edible and I can see why people would really like it, but it was just ok for me.  I made lettuce wraps with the meat and it definitely takes out the greasiness of the meat, well it doesn't take it out, but it tastes more balanced and for me more enjoyable to eat, though I don't always like eating with my hands.
