Meat Jhun Plate
Wait/Service/Atmosphere: Sometimes the wait at this local joint is a little long, but that's only because it's THAT good. People tend to flock when they smell the yummy Korean BBQ cooking. This is a plate lunch place, so there's no table service, but there are 3 tables on the left hand side where you can sit and grind. The cashiers have always been friendly to me, and i've had no trouble in that aspect. Soon's is just a cute little plate lunch window shop, and it's been the same for as long as I can remember. And i'd like it to stay that way!Quality/Quantity: OH MAN! The quality of the meat jhun is awesome! I love the way they make their meat jhun; it's always been different from everyone else's. This is a more thin, dry meat jhun, versus a more juicy and meaty type. Their batter is fried to a crisp, so it has these extra crispy bits on them that make the experience all the better. They also give a LOT! I usually can't finish one plate, and half to take half home. Each plate comes with Korean veggies (local style) in a small foil bowl (bean sprouts, cabbage, and kim chee). It also comes with 2 scoops of rice.
Plating: This plate lunch comes in a regular sized white styrofoam plate, but if you order just one plate, they sometimes place it in a paper bag instead of a plastic one. I don't know why, but this adds to their unique-ness.
Pricing: Soon's is priced decently at about $6-7 a plate. But if you want the special, it'll be more like $9-10. It's all worth it in my opinion though, since they give so much. And with quality like that, it's hard to turn down when you're in the area.
Other: I've also tried their Kal Bi, which is another winner. :D
Overall: 10 /10
