Sa Ri One Korean Restaurant

After a relaxing day trip to siesta beach, my exquisite partner and I decided to try Sa Ri One as it was recommended to her. I must admit the location looks sketchy; especially at night. It's off the main road, and is literally next to an overhead pass, while the outside looks like a temporary trailer home. I'm not sure if they wanted to create an at home vibe, but that's exactly how it felt. When we were seated, we felt like we were being guided through someone house to a large back room where there are a number of tables. The staff were super friendly and answered our menu questions without any hassle. We discussed what dishes we wanted, and my beautiful dinner date placed the order: Gal Bi Beef, Tok Bok Gi, and Jaeng Ban Ja Jang. We waited for a few minutes and the Tob Bok Gi was the first to honor table. It was exactly as you expect with a little kick in the sauce. Not sure if I'm a fan of a whole hard boiled egg in there though. The Gal Bi Beef order came out next. Everyone knows this is a staple for KBBQ, and we found them a little sweet, but excellent. Should be warned that we did notice a few pieces that were basically all fat. This dish does have a bowl of white rice included. The last dish to come out was the Jaeng Ban Ja Jang. This dish was near perfect. The black bean sauce was delicious and mixed with the noodles well. There was also a ton of topping; from what appeared to be never ending zucchini pieces with scattered pieces of squid and shrimp in the sauce. Overall, I would recommend anyone in the area looking for some pretty good Korean food, to come by.

The food is amazing as usual. Concerning the food, it's one of the best korean resteraunts you could go to. The service is mostly good, but could be better. They're on top of the basics, but they never say hi or bye or even a smile..literally all of them. Important to be more friendly in the resteraunt business. Again though, putting that aside..the food is A+.

In the heart of the kitchen, where the spices dance, Korean food whispers, inviting me into its trance. The sizzling of kimchi, a love song in the air, A perfect blend of tang, heat, and care. The soft, warm rice, a comforting embrace, With bulgogi's sweetness, I'm lost in its grace. The fiery heat of jjigae, a bold, loving kiss, A symphony of flavors I can't seem to miss. Each bite is a promise, each taste a delight, From the savory bites to the spiciness bright. The pickled vegetables, so crisp and so pure, A side dish so perfect, it makes me feel sure. And then there's the meat, a masterpiece bold, With a perfect mix of colors, a story unfolds. The egg on top, golden, full of delight, Stirred together, everything feels just right. Korean food, you've stolen my heart, it's true, With every dish, I fall deeper for you. A love that's spicy, hearty, and real, You've captivated my senses -- your flavors, I feel. So here I stand, forever enchanted and free, Korean food, you've claimed a place inside me.

Don't miss out on this hole in the wall restaurant! The portions were huge. They immediately served us snacks and water. The dumplings were great and food came out as it was ready so we were never waiting long.

This place is a hidden gem. My husband and I ate here for lunch today and ordered the bulgogi bowl, kimchi pancake, and Bul Go Ki Beef. All were really delicious. We also ordered the blackberry wine, which was surprisingly not too sweet and was very smooth. Service was very quick and friendly. We'll be back again. Thank you!
