This is a highly rated Korean joint on Yelp, and since it was decently nearby in the northern side of SJ, we decided to give it a shot. It's a nice little place with a decent price tag, and the servers were very friendly.
We had this seafood pancake dish (Hae-mul Pa-jun), and as an appetizer it is simply huge. It's kind of like an egg-based pizza - thick with green onions spread throughout, but the stars of the show were the shrimps, scallops, crab meat, etc. Great start!
We ordered the Dol-sot Bi-bim-bab for entree. It comes in a stone pot over open fire, and it is filled with assorted veggies, chicken (you may choose beef, chicken, pork, or tofu), topped off with a sunny side up egg, and served over rice. Excellent dish! I love the crispy portions of the rice.
One thing I love about Dol-sot style dishes is the mixing. For one it makes the preparation pretty simple - you got the rice on the bottom, then you put the toppings in sections on top, and top it off with the sunny side up. For the customers, the appearance of the sectioned colors over rice in a black stone pot is pretty appealing, and then the mixing is a transformation of colors into swirls. As you mix in all the goodies together, you can pretty much guess how good the bowl is going to taste.
Great little place! Give it a shot.

Rachel and I caught a bunch of high school girls flirting with the waiter, doing that write-your-friend's-number-on-a-note-and-pass-it-to-the-cute-waiter's-notsocute-waiterfriend-so-as-to-be-unambiguously-ambiguous business. Reminds me of the middle/high school days.
