I went to a girls' night out with four long-time friends. We chose this restaurant because it is close to the station, serves alcohol, and has a lot of stamina. The owner's friendly service could be seen from the reservation phone call, and the service on the day of our visit was also pleasant. We didn't order a course or set menu, but instead ordered individual items like samgyetang (I really wanted to eat this), premium beef sagari (delicious), beef tongue (tasty), pot-pickled sagari (a good deal with a coupon), Korean salad (the dressing was delicious), seafood pancake (chewy and tasty), bibimbap (fun to mix), and had unlimited drinks including draft beer, non-alcoholic cocktails, and other juices for only 2500 yen per person. It was cheap. I definitely want to go again. ^_^

Yesterday, I had stone bibimbap for lunch, and today I came all the way to Nishitetsu Kurume to find stone bibimbap again, so I visited Mui-san. I found stone cheese bibimbap on the lunch menu for 650 yen, which looked delicious. I added kimchi, salad, and soup for an additional 150 yen. I requested extra crispy rice in the stone pot and it was brought to me with a fragrant smell. The stone pot was small with a small amount of rice, which is just the way I like it. The ingredients included a beautiful yellow egg yolk, ferns, carrots, minced meat, spinach namul, plenty of soybean sprouts, with more than half of the stone pot filled with them. I couldn't find the cheese though, maybe they forgot? I mixed it well and created crispy rice in the hot stone pot. I drizzled some gochujang, mixed it again, and topped it off with lettuce salad. The lettuce bibimbap was delicious. I scooped up some crispy rice with a spoon, dipped it in the soup, and enjoyed a different flavor. It was a satisfying and enjoyable meal for 800 yen. I had a pleasant time chatting with the lovely staff while eating delicious stone bibimbap. Thank you for the meal. When I went to Nishitetsu Kurume Station on Sunday evening, I found out that the train to Fukuoka was not running due to a human accident, and it would take about an hour. As I was wandering around the station, I saw the sign for Korean cuisine Mui-san. I visited the second-floor Korean izakaya. It was still early, so there were few customers, making it quiet and relaxing. I looked at the menu and ordered stone bibimbap for 800 yen and bulgogi (Korean sukiyaki) for 1800 yen. First, the stone bibimbap was brought to me, and I was warned that it was hot, so I should be careful. It was indeed hot. I mixed the warabi, egg yolk, and vegetables well with a spoon, waiting for crispy rice to form. I took a bite, and it was hot, fluffy, and delicious. The stone bibimbap was a success. Next, the bulgogi arrived in a large stone pot. I was worried if I could finish it. It was filled with glass noodles, kinko, and plenty of vegetables. It was cooked well on the gas flame and looked delicious. The beef was also plentiful for the price. The bibimbap I had eaten before was a sweet and savory sauté of onions and meat, but Mui-san's bibimbap was more like sukiyaki. It was sweet with plenty of soy sauce and sugar, and the broth was sweet too, which might not be good for my diabetes. Actually, adding rice to the sukiyaki broth would make a delicious porridge. The springy noodles absorbed plenty of beef essence and were delicious. Eating mushrooms and beef, I ended up eating everything and feeling full. It was a great deal for 1800 yen.

The other day, I went with my friends! It's only 30 seconds from Nishitetsu Kurume Station! It was so close that I didn't even know it was there before. When we entered the restaurant, I was surprised by how spacious it was, and it reminded me of a casual Korean restaurant! The warm atmosphere and cozy feel made me feel right at home. I was expecting the staff to be a bit cold (based on my own assumptions about Korean restaurants), but they were actually very friendly and provided great service. We ordered dishes like pot-cooked beef, sundubu, bibimbap, and chijimi, and everything was delicious! However, even though it's a Korean restaurant, they don't automatically serve kimchi or other side dishes, so you have to order them separately. Overall, I really liked the homely atmosphere of the restaurant and I would love to go back again! :)
