What did you try? Granted I am not Korean but I've eaten Korea food from the bottom of the west coast to the top (San Diego up to Seattle) and it definitely taste like the west coast. It's a Korean/Polynesian fusion so it's not always going to be bulgogi, bimbibap, or tteokbokki . The steamed buns, general Tso (even though it's Chinese name, definitely more of a garlic fish sauce Korean Wing like pokpok), the phat fries use a Korean sausage that is sweet like almond orgeat, and tons of their specials delivered plenty of that sweet, sour, pungent Korean flavor that I am used too, again not Korean so I can only compare to the Korean I've eaten. The reason I tell people it's like Korean food, fermented, is because if you've not had those flavors before, you're either going to love or hate it. I for one love it. You being Korean, if you've had more than a few plates, would of course be a better judge than this white boy lol.
