You must have the toast with the coconut jam. You then dunk the bread in a fried egg...sounds very odd but it's actually quite delicious. The panni porri starter was lovely too. And the tamarind iced tea. Our waiter was friendly and helpful and the overall atmosphere was bright and sunny.

In a city like LA, with amazing and authentic Korean and Thai restaurants, there is little reason to eat korean BBQ short ribs or mediocre Bibimbop here. My biggest complaint is that we were not seated until 9:30pm when we had a 9pm reservation.

It might be whatevers, but kudos to them for starting a new fast-food Korean place that's edible.<BR/><BR/>No comment on "Street", it's dead to me like Kogi'sSinoSoulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07881843982716449480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7882089.post-75013192062941198382009-04-06T07:49:00.000-07:002009-04-06T07:49:00.000-07:00tried it Saturday night it wasn't very memorable. ...tried it Saturday night it wasn't very memorable. The Masman Chicken Curry had zero flavor and was served over soupy white rice which made a very unappetizing concoction. The noodle dish had me and wife chugging water all night long it was over salted from the soy sauce bath the noodles were in. Concept is a good one but the prices need to come down, execution cleaned and a lot of menu items Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06139463313637038145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7882089.post-48611378859172053792009-04-05T18:06:00.000-07:002009-04-05T18:06:00.000-07:00At those prices I can't help but think a more appr...At those prices I can't help but think a more appropriate name would have been something along the line of "Gentrify". I too love Feniger's energy, but I think I'll stick with actual street food.Doranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03432197902507876037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7882089.post-84597668270859802242009-04-05T17:18:00.000-07:002009-04-05T17:18:00.000-07:00i heard Galbi N' Kimchi (GNK for short) is pretty ...i heard Galbi N' Kimchi (GNK for short) is pretty whatevers. i live right up the street from it, but knowing that Koreatown is only 5 minutes away, i'd much rather venture there for some legit Korean food. BUT i haven't tried GNK yet so if you do, let us know how it is. <BR/><BR/>thanks for the lowdown on Street! i still want to go there even though it's $16 for pho. hahahaehniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06298543186829842505noreply@blogger.com
