To suit the request of our pregnant friend (TST, near parking, no raw food, comfy seating), I picked this Korean restaurant seeing as it has a few good reviews. Turns out another in the group has already been several times in the short span of a few months since its opening, so we had high expectations of what was on offer.Good thing of Korean waiters - somehow it lends more authenticity to the restaurant.

Good thing of Korean waiters - somehow it lends more authenticity to the restaurant. Bad thing of Korean waiters - I couldn't understand what they were saying half the time, and a couple of them couldn't understand what I was saying ALL the time, and had to ask a colleague to help out. However service was reasonably attentive, and a wave of the hand when you caught their eyes normally meant your requests are met. The banchan was free but only up to a certain point, after that it's $10 a dish. Do ask before you ask for a refill as it seems to be up to the discretion of the manager/waiters(resses). The manager with a slightly receding hairline and a little pony tail was really nice, and practically gave us a complete refill of the 10 dishes. All were very yummy, more notable ones were the crispy seaweed, the kimchee (spicy without the excess vinegary sourness, and firmly stacked and still a bit crunchy), and the firm and juicy tofu.
Then we ordered the bibimbap, and went for the mixed soup noodles over the cold noodles as quite a few reviewers have previously recommended it (though note that it's not called "seafood noodles" per se, but it does come with a heap of seafood). The bibimbap was up to standard: hot, moist, fresh ingredients, lean and juicy beef, and the rice at the bottom was seared into crunchy rice cakes without being burnt. The noodle however was a bit of a let down, the noodles were too soggy and the soup was spicy but without much seafood flavour to it. The ingredients were quite fresh though and there were lots of it to share around.
The ginseng chicken soup was a flavoursome and meaty broth that wasn't oily and had a whole chicken in it, and the meat was still tender enough to be eaten (sometimes they get a bit tough after long hours of boiling). The beef rib in soup was similarly good.
The kimchee pancake didn't look like the one in the menu, ours was darker and had more batter than kimchee. It was quite thin and came with a mildly spicy sauce. It was quite nice but rather filling as it was a massive pancake. The picture made it look a lot smaller.
Then we had the "neen go" or rice cake with beef, which was a very peppery rendition and the sauce was quite thick too.We peered over to the tables around us and it seems the hotpots were very popular, and the pumpkin with short ribs was a ginormous dish that could easily feed 6 to 8 persons. For the price of the food the portions were surprisingly big, and overall the dishes were tasty. The environment was quite pleasant too, and the tables were spaced apart wide enough so that the smoke from the other tables (unless you're also making your own smoke screen) wouldn't waff over to your end.
