"This is definitely my go-to Korean place in San Diego. I think it's arguably the best, depending on what you get. The Korean BBQ here is the best because it is the only place I know of in San Diego that uses real charcoal v. gas. That gives the meat here an additional layer of smokiness and texture that other places don't have. The side dishes (panchan) here are higher-end here as well v. other places. I've had shrimp green beans and chon (Korean savory pancake) as panchan here, which is really rare. This place also has a very extensive menu as well and dishes a lot of Korean places don't have. I love mul naengmyon (cold chewy buckwheat noodles) and bi bim guksu (cold spicy noodles), which they have here. They are refreshing, vinegary and refreshing. I also love the kalbi (short ribs) and bulgogi (marinated thin beef) here, which are lean, but tender. Also, the sundubu chigae is on point along, with the chapchae, which they serve warm and is not greasy like a lot of places."
