Number in our party: 2

Final check amount: $32.50

Notes:

• The tofu was flavorful, delicious, and comforting.  Recommended!
• The server was nice -- it felt like a friend's mom was cooking me dinner.
• The tea tasted like pancake syrup, only not sweet.  But in a good way.
• Free kimchi to start.
• Good rice.
• Spicy dishes were on the milder side -- they weren't overpowering.
• The fortune cookies were very good.  They were made of thicker wafers and came unwrapped on a plate.  And the paper slips inside were actually fortunes, not lame-o proverbs or advice.
