menu
I sat down, start looking menu, but the menu was pretty big and I couldn't decide, and since my sister start ordering right away, I just decided to eat whatever she ordered.
beef toro 600yen (about U.S. $6) It's like I'm eating fat. Too fatty for me.
calbi for 4 (I can't remember which calbi, somewhere between U.S. $30-$40)
salad 880 yen Avocado, poato salad, tomato, shrimp eggs, etc with sesame dressing
bi-bim roll 680 yen (about U.S. $7)
fried rice 580 yen (about U.S. $6) This is the taste I've been wanted to eat! Ramen store style fried rice. Delicious.
shrimp cheese korean style pancake 880 yen (about U.S. $9) Shrimp, mentaiko, cheese inside. That's right, I can't eat cheese but I tasted a piece of it and it was good.
comes with dipping sauce
For overall, I liked food. I loved fried rice the most, but beef, rolls, salad, everything was good. The total came up around U.S. $100.
