I came here a couple of weeks ago with my boyfriend and we took advantage of the beautiful weather and sat on their patio. Lovely shade from the umbrella, subtle breeze from the wind and the sun peeking through here and there providing that warmth. My go-to is their Dolsot Bibimbap but this time around, I tried something else on their menu. We ordered the Caterpillar Roll ($15) which had crab meat, cucumber, asparagus, topped with avocado, masago and a peanut butter sauce. We also got the Japchae ($20), a sweet potato noodle dish with beef or tofu (we chose beef), and veggies. We shared both dishes! I really liked the peanut butter sauce from the Caterpillar Roll. I was a little sceptical about it but that pairing worked. Light nutty flavour with a hint of savouriness. The pickled asparagus added a tang. The cucumber provided a nice crunch for texture. The avocado gave it that creaminess. I would order that again! As for the Japchae, flavour was savoury with a light sweetness. I couldn’t really taste the sesame oil for that nutty flavour though but it was topped with sesame seeds. The sweet potato glass noodles were cooked to a good chewy texture. The beef was tender and umami but I wished there were more pieces. As for the peppers, some pieces were not julienned, so when eating the dish, the piece of pepper didn’t match the mouth feel of the rest of the dish.
