High-quality ingredients and a few out-of-the-ordinary touches—sliced water chestnut jelly, for example—vault this homey eatery above most of its cheap and cheerful Koreatown brethren. Excellent appetizers include mandu dumplings stuffed with mixed veg and sided with a garlicky soy dipping sauce. The tenderness of soy-sweet kalbi short ribs is outdone only by thinly sliced bulgogi beef. Sterling bi bim bap brings a crunchy crust topped with soft rice, beef, carrot threads, radish and fried egg. A frisbee-size seafood pancake comes generously stuffed with shrimp, octopus and oyster. Mains $7–$15.
