| Now that she has moved to a somewhat classier location just off Loop 410, chef Young has bolstered her bulgogi and bi bim bap with posher plates “for the discerning palate.” Sweet-and-sour pork tenderloin and grilled shrimp and sea scallops now occupy pride of place (and price) without much suggesting the cuisine of Korea. A major sushi component is part of the picture as well. But aficionados of her first restaurant could, for a time, take solace in multiple plates of pan chan and could evoke her more rustic cuisine with dishes such as the kimchi pancake (still good if a little greasy). But the fried yaki mandu dumplings seem to have become less appealing, and a seafood stew for two, though brimming with impressive ingredients, didn’t follow through with complex taste. Stir-fried octopus, an old favorite, emerged chewy and less spicy than we like as well. Remind us to be more specific next time. |
