Complimentary side dishes (from top left going clockwise): bean sprouts, potatoes in a sweet sauce, kim chi, unknown (seaweed?), tofu in soy sauce.
I like them all. I especially enjoy eating the pickled greens after the spicy kim chi. I was super impressed when a server asked us if we wanted more of the side dishes when some of them were empty. The hard part was refraining from filling up too much on the side dishes before our actual orders were served.

That something else was the pork bone soup (gamjatang).
There was actually quite a bit of meat on the pork bones. The large chunks were easy to pull away from the bones, but after that it gets a bit difficult to use chopsticks to pick at the rest. The soup was very flavourful and clear. The crumbly stuff on top (peppercorn?) added great texture and a bit of a bite to it. The pork bone soup comes with a bowl of white rice.

This dish is served in a sizzling stone bowl with a sunny side egg on top. The beef and vegetables are neatly placed on top of white rice. It's probably a good idea to stir it before eating. A bottle of red hot sauce is usually provided. The layer of rice that touches the bowl becomes brown and crispy. Sheila said that this particular bibimbap yielded more crispy, brown chunks of rice than usual. That's a good thing.

The portions are just right for above average eaters. Each time that I visited, the restaurant was quite warm (literally) in a comfortable way. I have the feeling that I will continue to frequent this restaurant throughout the upcoming cold winter. I suggest others do the same.
Total damage for two people: $19.93.
