"I've been going to/ordering from Ponzu for a long time. I usually order a bibimbap and scallion pancake with seafood, the photos attached. I've also had their sushi and doen jang chigae, both of which are good. The only dish I wouldn't recommend is their calamari; one thing that occasionally goes wrong with their dishes is they're too oily. In the case of their calamari, it feels like the batter isn't thick enough to absorb the oil, or else it's just not what I'm used to eating. The fried part is whitish instead of the typical golden, and it's just greasy. Besides that, I'd actually say they've improved over the years. Obviously their scallion pancake is also oily, but it's the perfect combination of crispy and soft. The saltiness is also just right when you dip it in the sauce. It was once under cooked inside while burnt on the surface, but that hasn't happened for a while. They also used to add too much sesame oil to their bibimbap, but not anymore. I don't know if they serve them anymore, but back before COVID I really enjoyed their banchan when dining in person. I marked that you'd spend $20 $30 per person, but that's only if you order appetizer(s) as well. Their portions are large, and the flavors are great. I'm looking forward to trying some new dishes from them in the future!"
