Review from Bailey Z.

It was a bit disconcerting to see this huge restaurant completely empty on a busy night for most other restaurants on the strip, but we decided to give it a try. Normally, I have apprehensions eating at Asian restaurants that try to fuse two cuisines together, whether it's Vietnamese-Thai or in this case, Korean-Japanese. They always manage to screw up one cuisine or another, or even both. Generally when you have a broad menu in trying to appease everyone, you end up pleasing no one. But, I figured we are pretty deprived of Korean in Vermont and it's a lot lighter than Italian or Indian so here we were.
The first thing I noticed was just how vast the restaurant space was. There's a hallway past the bathrooms that leads to another large banquet room. It was sad to see that so much space was underused. The other thing was how aloof the waiters were. The restaurant was completely empty, yet we end up just standing around for a good few minutes and then we were seated relatively spaced out from any other customer.
The menu itself had some fairly priced staple Korean dishes, all around $10-15. I still fathom why they didn't offer a kimchi fried rice dish when they had both components. Instead, it was just regular fried rice. Another example of catering to tourists. I ended up ordering the bimbimbap. The dish actually came with very well cooked and half crunchy rice with a perfectly cooked fried egg on top. But, there was barely any beef and no accompanying sauce. The banchan offered wasn't a particularly large selection, but I liked the greens and the kimchi was good. Overall, not too shabby of a meal despite also getting a flat soda.
