Exciting to see a Korean spot in Los Gatos! But honestly, it was just okay. It was easy to make a reservation and reserve a table - thank you. The meat dishes were a bit pricey, and the bibimbap wasn’t hot enough, I was hoping for that crispy rice at the bottom. The egg came already fried instead of raw, so you couldn’t mix and cook it in the bowl. It’s an alright place, but nothing special. - Mark Hassin
