Richmond Korean joint woos customers with authentic food.. It's easy to get turned off by the prices at this Balboa Street eatery if you're unfamiliar with the logistics of Korean food--some of the city's best, most authentic Asian restaurants can leave you stuffed for $10, but the dishes here are mostly in the $15-$20 range. Take into account, however, the sheer enormity of each menu item here—heaping piles of grilled meats, and huge, sizzling stoneware pots of rice and veggies--as well as the friendly owners' tendency to shower you with free dishes: a dozen or more "banchan" (those tasty little dishes like spicy kimchi, sweetly brined seaweed and cold boiled bean sprouts) plus a steaming bowl of tofu soup and, depending on how busy the cook is, a seafood pancake to share. Go hungry, go with friends, and you'll definitely get your money's worth.
