🥢 Kimchi next to the pasta
What makes this place different
is the side dishes.
The kimchi and simple side dishes
that come with the meal
go surprisingly
well with pasta.
Little side-dish bowls next to the pasta — you can see kimchi and seasoned bean sprouts
It was a combination
we’d never seen anywhere else!
An unusual combo
that works surprisingly well
😊 Price, portions, atmosphere
Prices are easy on the wallet,
and portions are generous.
It’s casual,
so it works whoever you’re with —
friends or family.
The food came out quickly,
and the place was calm and clean.
The staff were friendly, too.

is what we remember it by.
