After reading many positive reviews on SongCook's Authentic Korean
Restaurant; I decided to come here for dinner with a friend about 3
weeks ago. The restaurant was spacious, and designed with decorative wooden pieces. What sets apart SongCook's from nearby Korean establishments was that there are two different sections; regular dining room (tables/chairs) or heated floors. We opted for the dining room.
We were seated, and our server brought small dishes of bachan; which are
side dishes that are to be eaten with your main meal. The selection of
bachan at SongCook's Authentic Korean Restaurant was rather lackluster;
we got kimchi, pickled radishes, nokdumuk (green bean jelly) and japchae.
One of their most recommended items would be the jajangmyun (black bean noodle sauce) ($7.50), which I ordered. This dish consists of a mixture of noodles, black bean sauce, and ground beef. Honestly,
I was surprisingly underwhelmed by this dish and didn't like the taste
of it too much. The noodles were fine with its chewy texture, but the paste was just too salty and I barely had any beef in my bowl.
The LA kalbi ($10.00) on the other hand was absolutely delicious and tender. The dish came with four long pieces of kalbi and a scissor was provided so that it could be cut into smaller pieces.
SongCook's does have a decent selection of dishes to choose from and their menu was pretty colorful with pictures. Overall, I thought that the service was excellent as our server was very attentive and did check up on us from time to time.
