Sunday cravings for Korean food. Its 530 or so. I was cruising the Commercial Center area for something to jump out at me. We saw the Elephant Snack sign with pictures in the window. We enter as the only guest at the time. As we order with the very sweet and courteous Mai, the place starts filling up. We order the standard DolSot Bi Bimbap, Shrimp Tempura, Mandoo, Galbi. Let me start by saying that the service was superb. Mai gets 5 stars. The Shrimp/ veg tempura was great. Here is my constructive observations to the owners. Having pictures on the wall surely dictates that your food should look somewhat like the pictures. Lets start with the Dol sot Bibimap, Hot Pot, crispy bits of delish at the bottom as you stir your sunny side egg with gogujung sauce into your bowl of rice and veg. I got a lukewarm pot, no crispy rice and for $9.00 feel a little cheated on the veg. I found my egg curiously covered with lettuce and it was cooked over hard no gooey yolk to mix into rice. When I asked the older woman for a new egg like the picture\" she looked at me like I was insulting her cooking\" she did not understand why I was not satisfied with the egg I had, She made me a new one that had under done whites. Here's how you do it. Get egg pan scorching hot pour oil in wait 1 minute add egg, leave alone for 2minutes you will have the perfect sunny side egg.\n.Mandoo 8 pc for 6.00 Where do you find round won ton wraps that small? I am disappointed with the size not the flavor. Galbi, once again 3 strips cut into sections for 18.99. I just don't get it. Again I am upset with the portions for the price. I get the same amount of Galbi at L&L for 8.00 and it comes with rice and macaroni salad. However the flavor was great. I am not sure where to go from here. Where is the Korean food spot that you get a fair serving for the price I don't mean an all you can eat place where you cook your food. I want the Las Vegas version of Kim Chee II on King Street in Hawaii.\nOr somebody open a Yummy BBQ here like the ones in the malls in Hawaii. Have Bi Bim kook su as an option somewhere please. So far only Island Style offers the cold noodles. Bah chan was everyday fair nothing unique to the restaurant that would make it stand apart. I had just had dinner in LA at Cho Sun Galbi and the bah chan there was incredible.
