On one strange occasion, slave girl and I caught our friend walking out of Cafe Gunul 2 when we passed by the restaurant. She told us they had the best kimchi pasta, even better than the ones in Koreantown. Errrr, say no more, we are in!
The restaurant was decorated with impressive wall arts. There was a bell on the table side for service and the servers were pleasant.
After looking through the menu, I felt this place was more like a drinking spot than a restaurant. Most of the food items were finger food or shareable dishes. Since it was just the two of us, we got squiggles, kimchi pasta, and wings with gochujang sauce.
They had a very extensive drink menu as well and we got a pitcher of peach soju. We were told they used 7-Up to mix the drink and it could be too sweet for most people. They suggested to sub it with club soda and I tell you, it was the best peach soju ever. We also received the chips and salsa for free when we sat down. Too bad only the first one was free because the salsa was delicious.

The squiggles was solid. Deep fried and tasty. It wasn't greasy and eating it with green onions was just genius. It wiped out all the oily taste and provided a different texture to the squid leg. I would order this again.
The wings was unfortunately nothing amazing. The flavor was fine but we didn't like the bottom of the wings soaking in the sauce since it made the wings soggy.
The kimchi pasta was fantastic. It was just good as friend said it was. Creamy and flavorful, perfectly executed. If you don't have to share it, don't.
Overall I really enjoyed the service, the drinks, and the food here. I am glad to see more and more Korean spots opening in this neighborhood so I didn't need to travel all the way to Koreantown for good Korean food anymore.
