Don't let the frosted glass stray you away. An aroma of savory goodness wafts in the air as you enter. A large open space, clean and modern, nothing fancy, but it does its job.

A simple menu, with images and symbols that guide you easily to your…More »

Sea Urchin Bimbimbap.

That's all you really need to know about Kingyo. A hot sizzling stone bowl, with prawn, squid, salmon caviar, rice, topped with sea urchin and doused with a sweet sauce. Each grain of rice is coated with a hint of the sea urchin…More »

Is it sad to say that I enjoyed the $30 pitcher of lemon soju the most on a recent meal here?

Yes it really wasn't that great. We were in a group of 5, on a Sunday night. The place wasn't too busy, but we got no service at all. Is it because we didn't…More »

One dish:

BBQ Unagi Yakiudon
Udon noodles mixed with teriyaki butter sauce served with bbq eel, egg , green onions and seaweed. You will not regret this. A sweet sauce, with the creaminess of the butter...and then the eel. It's pretty amazing.

We came here after the CMYE hoping to grab some late night eats and some BBT. We arrived at 10:45pm, and apparently now they close at 11:00pm. The waitress came to us and reiterated that fact, but…More »
