I was excited to try this place because it's one of the very few Korean restaurants I HADN'T tried in Vegas... plus some of the yelp reviews and pictures seemed promising. I went for Chuseok (Korean Thanksgiving and Moon Day), excited to eat a hearty Korean meal. \n\nI enjoy and appreciate variety on the table... I never turn down the option of ordering an appetizer or two, and love to split/share entrees. If we were to do this... we would've spent a fortune. I searched for the lunch specials and traditional stews were $9.95 and higher. These prices are standard dinner prices... so I was very disappointed in the menu. No real appetizer menu (dumplings, Korean-style pancake that's NOT $15!, etc..), my favorite stews regular price are $12.95+... these are not the norm for Korean food at all... the only dishes I can understand being more expensive than what people are used to are the table BBQ options. \n\nI told my boyfriend that if the stew is phenomenal, I will stop complaining about the prices. Unfortunately, it really wasn't :-/. The soon tofu jjigae (ordered to be as spicy as humanly possible) was pretty mild and not of great flavor... certainly not what I'm used to in NYC or LA. I will continue to go to Tofu Hut or DJK for this dish. The Dolsot Bibimbap was pretty typical.. and only 3 side dishes!! I take pride in Korean culture and restaurants offering such great, abundant variety of unlimited side dishes! It was lunchtime; however, still way too limited on variety and not generous with portions. \n\nOn a brighter note, good location on Spring Mountain.. service was friendly, polite, and attentive... and if you're NOT Korean, there's a good chance you will love the food :)
