The inside signs are much clearer than the outside ones.
Drink list! Includes a variety of infused soju cocktails. I enjoy their beer selection, too, which included Innis & Gunn and Samuel Adams. On tap, there was also Rickard's Red. A few of my favs.
Two clean cuts. Not both for me.
It's a bit sweeter than I expected it to be, but still pretty tasty.
Kalbi tacos
Not bad. We liked that there was 'stuff' in the taco shells.
Creamy rice cakes.
Tasted like alfredo sauce on rice cakes. Sounds like something I'd concoct if I were out of pasta. Julie mentioned this being a different taste for her, thus making it her favourite dish of the night.
Lobster tacos.
I like lobster!
Pork belly and tofu.
Phoebe said it tasted really Asian. It was okay, but since I split one, I didn't get the tomato to see if that would've tasted weird.
Scoop pizza.
Jenny said all she tasted was cheese. I actually didn't get that much cheese, so much as potato. It's a sweet potato base, but subtly sweet. I think this might've been my least favourite dish.
Spicy seafood soup.
It didn't taste like the usual Korean soup flavours that I was introduced to in Korea. It wasn't bad, just a lot more black pepper, and a lot less Korean red sauce taste.
Crispy king prawns.
This was my favourite dish of the night. Shrimp was tasty, crispy sticks of sweet potato was awesomely salty.
Would I return? I might. Now that I know which food items I prefer, I wouldn't mind trying their other stuff, and that drinks menu looked pretty interesting. Cocktails are $7 on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.
Total damage: Approximately $15.50 per person (6 people), minus drinks, and minus the prawns which were on a different bill.
