I have eaten here many times and have never had a bad meal here. The best value to be found there is their "Lunch Box" menu. These are various dishes served in a compartmentalized tray. I almost always get the Bulkogi pork or the Bulkogi chicken lunch box. The waitress will first bring appetizers of soup, kimchee, marinated zuccini, and marinated bean sprouts, all of which are tasty. Then they bring your lunch box, containing your meat of choice, two fried dumplings, two little pancakes that remind me of little fried omlettes (don't know what those are called) , white sticky rice, a sesame seed dipping sauce and the usual side salad with peanut dressing. The Bulkogi style meats are served mixed in a thick and spicy sauce, with a bit of onion, that is slightly sweet and very good. I eat here as often as I can. The service may sometimes be a bit lacking, but I've had much worse and the food is definately worth it... soooo good!
Best Korean food in Tampa, so far, but I'm part Thai, so i like my Kim chee way hotter and more pickled too. It's still the best Korean restaurant in Tampa, to me, though. My favorite is fried Mandu, Bulgoki and rice, the seaweed salad (don't remember the exact name), cabbage kim chee, beansprouts, and the Ramyen (ramen, not sure how to spell). The service was okay sometimes, i guess, but not great.
I just tried it for lunch today, never having Korean food before. I had driven past this a dozen times but never stopped until today.
I got the spicy chicken lunch box (sorry, I forgot the proper name for it!) and it was pretty good! It came with a salad (read: iceberg lettuce :\), a couple of lightly fried stuffed dumplings of sorts with a couple of different sauces (one sweet, one spicy - both very tasty), rice, and a container with seasoned bean sprouts, seaweed (I think) and kim chee (I think - it's a very spicy, marinated cabbage). It was supposed to come with Miso soup, but they don't include the soup on take-out orders (kinda odd...). But, still not bad for 8.95, you do get enough to eat. No to-go menu, though. All in all, pretty good for a first try....
