It's been a few years since a fire gutted this Asian hybrid a short trek from Central Square; since reopening, it's been on fire in the best sense of the phrase. Now as sleek and shiny as any contemporary bistro, it has won over ambiance-seekers without losing any loyal foodies in the bargain. It begins with the Korean barbecue: cooking your own meat on table-top grills isn't as risky as it sounds since the kitchen does a masterful marinating job beforehand (the garlicky aromas are intoxicating). But it continues with potent hot pots, yummy noodles and even decent sushi. And if you have a long wait for your table---as is often the case---a soju cocktail or two should tide you over splendidly.
