I was naturally HOOKED when I got a sneak peek as this place had their doorway slightly ajar. It looked like a vision of some Japanese/Asian independent Noodle Shop that is family owned and operated.
The decor and setup is completely Fusion as you…More »
I think I found my new HANG OUT! Good thing they open until Midnight and there's Gateau Shop with various Baked Goods and Coffee. Maybe I can watch Korean TV at the Food Court(Japanese, Korean) and learn some Korean.

I actually had 2 options fighting for top spot as my Lunch-of-the-day.
One hand, the pricier($11.00+) Galbi Jjim looks authentic on paper.
Two hand, a less costly Kal Guk Soo. Noodle, me, noodle, me, noo...
Upon asking staff for suggestion, I chose C3…More »

Whatever this place likes to call itself is their Business.
Did that make sense? I guess depends the tone you read it.
Asking what Sea Squirt was isn't that ridiculous is it?
Never got an answer, she just waved us off it. Fine.

I'm uncertain what transpired at RMP.
Let's piece the puzzle together.
- Non-Korean(moi) enters RMP.
- Small operation Mom/Pop Korean.
- RMP has barely any Menu/English.
- Window has more Menu than inside.
- Furnishings is temporary-stay quality.

Yang Nyum Keh Jahng(RAW Crab in Spicy Sweet Marinade/$10.99), I'm definitely a fan of this dish and had to say I came here reading of this dish on Eune Y's review. It is the small Blue Crab variety that doesn't have full meatiness but I don't think…More »

One of those restaurants where everything I ordered was very MEMORABLE. It's kind of a HIDDEN place in the same tiny strip mall that has had the CHEAPEST (asian) hair cuts for 15+ years if you don't care how you look.
