Closest thing to excellent Korea food in PHX (that I've tried).\n\nI've been to 4 other Korean restaurants around town and this is the only one that I have been back to more than once.  I'd say we've hit this place 6 times since they opened.  This is comparable to some of the Korean we've had in Japan (yes I know, weird, but the Japanese love Korean food), New york and Seattle (big Korean community). \nFirst of all, this place hits a chord with me because it is not a cook-it-yourself barbeque place.  While the grill on the table is fun and all, I'd rather spend my time chatting with family/friends, downing Soju and Hite and chomping on spicy squid, bi bim bap and seafood pancake.\n\nKiller dishes include the aforementioned dolsot bi bim bap (google it if you don't know it), spicy squid with pork, seafood pancake, dumplings, all manner of tofu soup (with egg of course), the standard bbq (bulgogi/kalbi, etc) and of course the lovely, lovely refillable sides (kimchee, seaweed, apple salad, I could go on...).\n\nCold Hite (beer), not a bad selection of soju (sweet-potato liquor), and refillable drinks for the kids.  In my mind, you just can't go wrong.\nService was lacking.  They were understaffed on the last two visits and had a help wanted sign up.  Still, the food made the wait and lack of attention worth it.  They are 1 waiter away from making it really work.\n\nCons - Its cold in here.  My kids always want to wear their fleeces or a sweater (even in the summer).  Not that cheap.. especially if you like to hit multiple dishes.  For a family of 4, we usually do 3 dishes with beers and we're out the door at $80+.  Not crazy, but its not cheap.  Service.  Last few times, they needed 1 or 2 more staff to make it shine.\n\nPros - The food, the food, the food.  Need I say more?
