  1. Decided to go here for lunch today and got Set C from the menu, which included fishcake/odeng soup with two fishcake on a stick, 8 small pieces of soondae, and a bowl of assorted variety ddukbokki (in it was one egg, two small sausages, some vermicelli noodles that looked over cooked, a bunch of rice cake and fish cake) drenched in sauce and topped with cheese (yum!).

    The spice level here is crazy; I pretty much finished the jar of water they give you (and I had a tummy ache from the spicy food).

    Might come here again to try something else

  2. Mediocre bordering bad.

    Ddukbokki: It just wasn't tasty. Definitely spicy, but lacked flavor. The cheese also didn't melt in an appealing way, so it wasn't incorporated into the dish. It just sat in clumps. They should have used shredded mozzarella scattered generously on the top so when stirred, it would mix into the dish uniformly.

    Rice balls: No seasoning at all in the rice it seemed like. Just plain white rice, rolled into balls with seaweed flakes layered on top.

    Soondae: What's with the amount they give? It was almost embarrassing at how little they give and how small the pieces are. Dry

    Tempura/fried assortment of vegetables and squid: Too much batter so when you bite into it, most of it is just the crunchy deep fried batter. Not crispy, more like hard crunch. And whatever is inside was dry. Deep frying is supposed to seal the moisture in so not sure what happened there.

    Good thing I didn't have high expectations, so can't say I was disappointed.

  3. This is a cute and new spot that's worth trying for lunch!

    We had their soy egg rice and omelette fried rice, which were both pretty good, with nice sized portions.  The service was great and quick as well, but I think it was because no one was really inside!  Come check this place out!

  4. Okay many places talk about it's spicy this or spicy that. This place will make you sweat.

    For those who are squeemish with spice, tread carefully….(or go to the white washed places that cater to non-spice eaters down the block)

    We ordered the chicken bokeumtang. The service was quick and attentive (as I'm sure they're used to refilling water on the regular). And I was surprised at how much I enjoyed this meal.

    I'll certainly come to try this place again and try the rice cakes.

  5. I came here for lunch on a Sunday with a few friends. I'd say the food is pretty decent — I got the kimchi fried rice, which was a little heavy on the kimchi, but still tasty. We had toppoki to share amongst the table, which had a really nice spicy sauce to it. I'd recommend this place for a quick casual bite.

    -L.

  6. I was casually walking to the train station as I passed this restaurant, and in the corner of my eye, I saw a dish with MELTED, GOOEY, STRINGY CHEESE being spooned out onto a plate. I knew I had to come here, because I absolutely LOVE cheese.

    It turns out that gooey, cheesy dish was the rice cake dish, and after reading some of the comments on how spicy this place can get I made sure to tell the waitress to keep the spice level on the low. After taking a bite, my mouth was feeling the heat and after eating a second rice cake, my lips started to feel the burn too. Overall, the rice cakes were too spicy for my tastes and I wish there was an even distribution of cheese. The top layer of rice cakes were on point with the cheese though. I ordered the fish katsu as well, which was alright and nothing exceptional.

    The menu wasn't too extensive, so I'd just say that this restaurant is average. Come here if you love extremely spicy foods though!

  7. This is Korean comfort food at it's best. Decent prices, quick service & delicious quality.

    I came here multiple times since Bob's first opened. I haven't been disappointed w/ anything yet. My fav go-to is the kimpap (small balls of soft rice rolled up & covered w/ seasoned seaweed & bits of fried egg)

    By the way, they kid not about spicy. But ohhhh, it's so good! Yum.

  8. Eh …nothing outstanding and definitely not worth it. I went it because I saw the grand opening sign and I thought oh let's give this a try. Well I got the bento box special. Came with seaweed soup and my chicken bento box was alright. The chicken meat wasn't even that warm. Everything was premade and just thrown in my box. Not a fan and won't be back.
