Thu Nov 01 00:36:04 -0800 2001 0 Michael 1 243247 Have not been, but it sounds like the visit would be worth it from this previous review. I look forward to hearing your impressions if you make the pilgrimage.

We've been three times and had fabulous meals each time. Maybe the problem is that people think of it as Korean. The owners are Korean, the chef is not, and the food isn't really fusion. Some dishes are Euro with Korean elements, but the menu has some traditional Korean and a lot of the sorts of food one used to find at Jozu or Chinois-- creative, with an Asian accent.

The kimchee stew tasted like something Campbell's might have made.
