Kaya Korean Restaurant has a wide menu to choose from, which can be daunting; they're basically a korean restaurant attempting to serve "a taste of Korea". They feature samgyeopsal, bulgogi, and other typical korean favorites. The servings are huge and reasonably priced. Pro Tip: If you're ordering the mackerel (btw, a bit on the oily side), they can serve it in half since it's quite big. The half portion is good for two hungry customers already. Try asking the servers if you can get other meals in halves.

I am a Korean Cuisine neophyte.   My knowledge begins and end with kimchi.  I've been meaning to dine at a Korean joint for quite sometime.  Kaya is a stone throw's away from where i am standing.  While i was munching on my dulce de leche xuxos,  i walked a couple of steps and voila!  Bibimbap sounds familiar.  A lil history lesson is in order. Bibimbap is a signature Korean dish. The word literally means "mixed rice". Bibimbap is served as a bowl of warm white rice topped with namul (sautéed and seasoned vegetables) and gochujang (chili pepper paste), soy sauce, or doenjang, a fermented soybean paste. A raw or fried egg and sliced meat (usually beef) are common additions. The hot dish is stirred together thoroughly just before eating.Source: Wikipedia First,  the dish looks healthy,  we have go,  grow and glow foods - meat,  veggies and carbs.  Kaya's version is served on a iron bowl thingy (long lost cousin of a hot plate).  I added spoonfuls of soy sauce and chili paste,  mixed them all together.  Had to wait for a couple of minutes for it to cool down.  The veggies are fresh and crispy,  the beef is flavourful and tender.  The egg adds a creamy element to the dish.  Chili paste - where have you been all my life?  This is the catalyst of the dish.  Biased opinion,  i like anything associated with chili.  Overall,  i enjoyed my first bowl of bibimbap.  No one can resist a healthy bowl of savoury Korean goodness.
