Had such a marvelous time with the food!!! The price is a bit steeper than most around the area, but the interior is very nice and the waiters seem pretty attentive, but could be better for sure. We had the Ssam Bap and we left so full and happy 🙂
You'll find this new place inside rodeo plaza in the far back. It's BYOB and they advertise as not needing to leave tip. You order at the counter; grab your own silverware and unlimited ban chan and the server brings you your food and cleans up afterwards.
The quality they use is legit; the ssam comes with gooooood veggies and the bibimbap pan is delicious. Love the boho decor and big tables to come with large group.
This place whack. For full-service restaurant prices, you have to retrieve your own utensils, napkins, water, banchan, bowls, plates, etc. If I wanted to do all that work, I would of just stayed home and cooked. Dayum.
And the food is nothing special. The jukumi (baby octopus) was tough/chewy as hei!. The dwenjang jigae was pretty good. I guess.
Basically, for decent food and broke service, you are paying full price. Uhh, no thanks.
I dined here Saturday night with my parents and it just made me sad. What happened to you, The Rocks?!
Its no longer self serve (which I don't mind) and I'm not sure if its still BYOB. They gave us a few complimentary apps to start in addition to the assortment of sides, which were def appreciated. The mustard sauce that came with the veggie wraps was EXTREMELY hot, it literally made me tear up. It was like eating a chunk of wasabi, man.
The biggest letdown was my spicy pork and bean sprout rice in stone bowl. There was probably zero salt in this dish. It tasted like straight up sesame oil. Plus there wasn't much meat, which is standard I guess, but I expected more from this spot, both in quality and quantity. I literally had to request salt from the kitchen. My mom had this cold acorn jelly dish I've never had, and none of us liked it. What saved our meal was my dad's spicy chicken and clams stew. Should've gone with my usuals 🙁
