Banchan Octopus with gochujang aioli Yellowtail kimbap with truffle rice and crispy seaweed Galbi with mustard salad and white kimchi Dolhareubang (black bean, rice, sesame) “Jungsik Garden” Overall, I could describe every dish in exactly the same way. A textural masterpiece, but completely lacking any flavor. There is really not much more to it than that. Everything was cooked perfectly well, but had practically zero seasoning and very little, if any, discernible flavor. Price: $240 submitted by /u/CaviarGlutton |
