This is their house special salad with poached chicken. Looks much like a regular salad, but their dressing has a light and saucy peanut butter taste (not overpowering at all, but perfectly leveled). Cold tofu topped with kimchi. This is quite a simple appetizer, but the two make an amazing combination. I love both tofu and kimchi, so I am likely to order this dish again. Also offers California rolls, six pieces. Just your standard california roll. Yakitori chicken wing, served with salt! Of all the yakitori dishes, the chicken wing absorbs most of the grill charcoal flavors.
Deep fried mochi with dash broth. The mochi doesn't have filling. However, because it is deep fried, it is very sticky when trying to eat. First time having this, and though it wasn't amazing, still worth a try. Stir fried udon with black pork and kimchi. This was another unique dish. It tasted like a mix of udon, cheese (not sure what kind) and kimchi. Since I love all three flavors, this dish was to my liking. Many in our group thought this dessert was the most different. It looks a lot like a really sweet dessert (such as Panna cotta), but tastes more like cream cheese... imagine cheesecake in a cup.
