I think it opened last week or so. It’s in the old “China One” location, behind Twin Peaks. They haven’t even change the decor yet. When you walk in, you will still see the large picture menu above the counter from China One. You gotta go to the counter to look at a menu.

It was very good.

We had #1, 4, 15, & 22.

The Spicy Rice Cakes soup (#1) and the Yangyum Chicken (#15) were excellent. The Bibimbap soup(#4) was very good but the egg was over done and too much broth. The La Galbi (#22) was good. The ribs were a little tough but great flavor, and it just came with plain rice and a small amount of kimchi.
Their phone number wasn’t even on the internet yet, and no website. They gave me their number to call ahead.

What do you mean? That shopping center is pretty busy. You have Total Wine, Aldi is going to build there, those discounts stores are busy.

and you have the whole drag racing crowd there every night from what I'm told.

Of course, that crowd aint big fans of Koreans in modern culture.


#7 and #11 on the menu look solid.

The Korean place sounds interesting. I've had Korean BBQ a few times out of town and it was really good. I'm guessing this not at all that and more of a Korean version of a "Chinese restaurant"?

Didn't know about the exotic sweets place, I like poke bowls. If I'm in the mood for that I usually go to the southfin poke place just a bit up the road.

Looks to be.

Exotic Sweets looks pretty “safe” on the sushi side too. Eel, boiled shrimp, etc… many with cream cheese in them.

Some friends of mine went and said it was hit-and-miss. They said the seafood pancake wasn't good.
