Shin, what a treat to see you totally in your culinary element. Your expertise in the dishes and light in your eyes when you think of the times you enjoyed the dishes is heartening. I have noticed that Tonkatsu and cabbage is catching on in many restaurants. Thanks for this delightful review!

Wow, great to see the variety of Korean dishes. I haven’t had much, so it was good to see. My mom was Japanese and I grew up eating Tonkatsu but I noticed that it was called Donkatsu. Is that a Korean thing?

i used to love going here after hours but they close around 10pm now so not so much anymore due to limited parking. went recently and food was still really good and they still give you tons of bon chon. prices seem to have gone up also. still worth going if you don't mind searching for parking or ubering over.

The parking lot here and across the street at Shanghai Plaza are pretty bad. But once you're in, you have so many great options. Thanks for watching!

That's in the same strip mall that has Ichiza Izakaya Original. You should review that one. I went there last year during Memorial Day weekend for a big pro-wrestling weekend that had several Japanese pro-wrestlers in town. When I showed up three of the Japanese wrestlers that were in town were having dinner there. Which leads me to believe that they're probably highly recommended within those circles.

Hey Shin . Nice review! Never really had authentic Korean just Korean bbq joints which is I guess pretty run of the mill americanized some what like Chinese and such . Very interesting dishes . The looked wonderful. I would pass on the cold plate's, just not a fan in any culture . Might give it a try though kinda a little pricey . Do many locals frequent the place. For off the strip seems kinda pricey . Nice quality of the dishes I must say . See ya next vid ! ❤

Korean dishes seem to be one of the more expensive out of the popular Asian styles of cuisine. The place was about 80% full when I first arrived I'd say. I stayed passed closing when I took the b roll. Thanks for watching!

Korean BBQ, the non-spicy galbijjim, and the appetizers could serve as entrees as well. There's also fried whole fish that's a staple. That's a couple of suggestions. Thanks for watching!

I have only tried Korean-style food twice. I honestly can not remember what I had, but I do remember it being somewhat bitter. I can not stand bitter. So is what I got typical of Korean food, or was mine just bitter? I know; how the hell would you know, haha. But I guess what I am wondering is whether Korean food is naturally on the bitter side. What you had looked good.

Great review. Question about the tofu dish served in a savory broth- soon dubu- is the broth made with beef, chicken or pork stock? Also, did the restaurant impose a 20-25% tip, so many restaurants in the China Town Plaza have started doing that hoping customers wouldn't complain.
@VegaswithShin Ай бұрын
I couldn't say for Mr. Tofu for certain, but I want to say it was just water. I wasn't aware of any kind of pre-tip, but I'm also too lazy to go check the receipt at the end. Thanks for watching!
