 Things got started the traditional Korean way with a small plate of seafood pancake ($78). This was done the old fashion way with a flavorful batter, some seafood bits and lots of green onion.

What I like most about this pancake was its size. It's perfect. With the traditional ones, I often got stuffed after 2 to 3 slices and ended up missing out on the other dishes (Grade: 3/5)!

 Next up was something slightly less conventional - Kimchi disco fries ($108) which was homemade fries served with kimchi, purple onion, pork, cheese, shiracha and sour cream. We had something very similar at Seoul's Vatos Urban Tacos and it was an experience that left a pretty good impression on us.

This one unfortunately tasted a little bland to start although it fared slightly better after we mixed everything together from top to bottom (Grade: 2/5).

 For main course, our original plan was to go after their carbonara rice cakes (topokki). We have always enjoyed Korean rice cakes with a fusion twist and who could resist the combination of Parmegiano Reggiano, Pecorino, egg yolk and pancetta anyways? But then we realized that we had the same dish at School Food quite a few times already. So after weighing our options, we decided to go with their Bulgoghi ($198) instead.

Like topokki, bulgoghi is another popular Korean dish. They had their marinated beef served on a bed of seasonal mushrooms and stir-fried onion. The beef was very tender and juicy, which is always nice. I also like the minimal seasoning with Korean BBQ sauce which was subtle and not too overpowering (Grade: 3.5/5).

 Finally, a bit of Italian twist as promised - tiramisu ($58) but I thought it's more Japanese and Italian instead of Korean and Italian.

 It's made of green tea, mascarpone, red bean, coffee and savoiardi. Very soft and moist (Grade: 4/5).

 I had a quick chat with one of the pretty waitresses here and decided to ask her about the name of the restaurant - what does MOYO mean in Korean? She smiled and replied, "It means together, getting together or gather....".

Although a little noisy at times, there is no question that this is a great place to get together and share some really good Korean food.
