Soo Ja Fusion Bistro

PARKING, LOCATION, VIBE Parking was easy in a large lot shared with many similar local businesses. Some other restaurants, a boba shop, dessert shop. The restaurant itself is small and probably seats about 30 total. It's very cozy. FOOD, SERVICE The menu has an interesting variety of food suitable to both picky and adventurous eaters seeking real Korean food. I let them know I have celiac disease and cannot have gluten. They were not very familiar with what this meant, but they really went the extra distance to make sure I was absolutely safe. They checked with me multiple times and the chef even came out to make absolutely sure that rice is gluten free. I ordered the veggie kimbap.

My brother ordered the bulgogi hot stone bowl and the silk larvae. The kitchen served these items with the gluten-covered meat and sauce on the side so that we could share if we wanted. So kind of them. We both felt the food was pretty good. We were told not many people order the silkworm larvae, and my brother thought that dish was fantastic. He felt it was flavorful and well cooked, and that the sauce it's in is great. He recommends visitors go out on a limb to try it as it's got fantastic flavor. It is a street food in Korea and hard to find here.

The three dishes total were $54 after tax. Would definitely come back!! Service was so sweet and attentive.
