The place inside is dim and a club like. It’s a place where people come to socialize over food-the center has tables that you can cook at, and around the outside are booths. There is club music bumping in the background and the noise level is at a frantic hum.

They bring you out some pickled radishes and some cole slaw. The radishes are sweet and tangy. The coleslaw is pretty tasty-even if it’s not really my thing.

We started off with some gyoza-pork, pan fried dumplings ($5.95). Nice and light-not too greasy.

We also had the bulgogi-korean rib eye ($15.95). Really nice flavor with the marinade, it came out on a sizzling plate. My favorite Korean dish.

Bon chon fried rice ($8.95)- a little spicy, but not in a super hot way where you will be fanning your mouth-it’s more of a peppery spice.

The bon chon chicken ($27.95). Extra crispy on the outside, sweet with the soy garlic sauce, and really moist and tender on the inside. The combo platter of drumsticks and wings-the drumsticks are HUGE. We got the large portion (23 pieces)-enough for 3-4 people. The prices are a little steep, but they are the only game in town, so they can dictate the prices. The service was good-although food came out at very different times. Our server was friendly and cheerful-making sure to keep our sodas bottomless and our water glasses filled.
