Great bibimbap, large portion and value for money. The sitting is not so cosy.

My husband and I stopped by the FIDi restaurant for lunch today. They were incredibly gracious and, because we were novices, explained the menu choices. We ordered the luncheon set and split it. At $20, it was a bargain - wonderful food, huge portion, and not spicy - our choice that way. They brought the food to the table with extra plates and utensils as well as a large water pitcher. This is a neighborhood gem. I highly recommend.

Love the concept! But my meat pork belly was honestly not very good. No flavor and there was hair still on my pork fat, and you can taste the pork, it was tough. But I loved the sauce it came with, and all the side dishes was amazing. Multigrain rice was a lil hard, but the pick up process was smooth and friendly.

This is THE WORST fried chicken I’ve ever had in my life.

Excellent food.

Authentic Korean taste, this isn’t someone who had Korean food a few times and is trying to make a business out of it by hopping into something trendy. There are traditional Korean vegetables like burdock root and fernbrake in the bibimbap which makes it so Korean my grandma would approve.

The ssambap set comes with an excellent array of vegetables and I appreciated how large the perilla leaves were. Two peppers, one red, one green along with carrots cucumbers and a generous portion of the correct type of lettuce. They’ve nailed the small details here and I appreciate that. The ssam vegetables also included a generous amount of saamjang and a half bulb of roasted garlic. This is better than what you get at restaurants in ktown.

Portions are great.

Really great fast casual concept that even has soju. I’m not a vegetarian but you could have an excellent plant based meal here. You can dine in. My only complaint was that the soybean paste stew was lacking in anchovy flavor. They might have used water instead of a stock but only home cooks will go to the trouble of doing that, hopefully they just add a little more dashida. If they were open a little later this would be a decent place to knock back a few bottles of soju with friends. If they ever put a good jiggae on the menu I’ll be there at least once a week.

Food was out of the ordinary with flavor, robust, and authenticity! The create your own bowl was unique and filling. The portions are large and can last for more than 1 meal. We got the pork belly and chicken, both very good! The major turn off was that the waiter used gloves to set aside the portions in the bowl (which was great!) although proceeded to wipe the sweat off of his face, then tie his shoe, and then go RIGHT BACK to preparing my meal, GROSS!
