"Alright, for people who want to try out this place, don't be discouraged by its rating. The ratings were smeared by the unfair 1 star reviews if you wanna see, sort by lowest rating, and you'll see 1 star reviews are from a particular group of people, and you know that if a restaurant deserves 1 star, it should be from various demographics, not just one group . It's definitely worth a try, but be ready to pay a bit. I'm also a Korean American that have eaten many foods in the states and Korea, if that gives any validity to my review. We had Tteokbokki, Yookwhae, sliders, Jjampong and salmon bibimbap. We were satisfied with all of them. First, Yookwhae was great. You might think 12 dollars is steep for it, but do keep in mind you probably can't find this any other place in Madison, and to find another, you'd have to go to Chicago most likely and the one here was better anyway . Definitely recommend it unless you're a vegetarian. Second, I loved the spick pork bulgogi sliders. I think this is how a fusion should be, incorporating other influences but using Korean ingredients. What I tasted in there were Korean ingredients and no weird mix of other western things that might ruin it. Third, bibimbop was so good, y'all. To be honest, I low key judge people who go to Korean restaurants and order just bibimbop because it kinda seems like a basic option to me, but the one here, is a must try, bibimbops here are on a different level. Fourth, good job on the Jjampong. I grew up eating really good Jjampong so I had high standards for it, and it didn't didappoint. You could taste the clearness of the broth as well as the right amount of spicy, as it should be. Services were also great, I really don't know what these one star reviews are talking about. I do have to criticize for two things though. First, I thought the mussels in Jjampong didn't have the taste of the broth, which tells me it was added later...? I think Jjampong would taste even better it already tastes good if you can get the broth taste out of those mussels Second, I really liked the Tteokbokki, but its yangnyum 양념 didn't feel like it was spread evenly, which is pretty big for a style like this one, since you won't get the wet Tteokbokki like you would in other places. Still liked it very much. Definitely coming back to try out other things I missed tonight."
