This new grilled-eel specialist, parked between a Weston’s grocery store and a Persian/Italian place, is a prime example of the wave of modern Korean restaurants springing up north of the city. Dishes here are composed with uncommon care—more French in appearance than traditional Korean—and the tastes are more notable for their freshness and subtlety than for the cuisine’s usual boldness. The pan chan dishes are a vision of modernity, even if westerners might find some of them odd (penne with chopped egg and tuna salad, for instance; it tastes the way it sounds). The bo ssam is tidier and simpler than most: grilled pork brushed with sweet chili sauce, dusted with toasted sesame seeds, rolled up with steamed Chinese cabbage leaves and a finely cut daikon and carrot slaw. The eel is crispy and fatty with more of that chili sauce; you roll it up, with raw garlic cloves and sliced jalapeños, into huge perilla leaves. It’s both subtle and brazen, and fun to eat.
