Son Of A Bear - Decatur

On August 22, 2019, I stepped inside and noticed a slightly hipster vibe to the atmosphere. I was warmly welcomed by Hannah, who was not only friendly but also very knowledgeable about the store and its menu. I ordered bulgogi, tteokbokki, and some ramen, all of which were delicious. They also have a bar for drinks. Adjacent to the restaurant is an ice cream shop that is connected to it.

Everything was fantastic! We were seated right away without any wait. Our server was quick and extremely helpful, well-versed in the menu items and able to provide detailed explanations of each dish and drink. The food was also delightful! The cheesy corn small plate was delicious. The ramyeon had a nice kick of spice, just as described, and was full of flavor. Be sure to try the soku too—it's tasty and refreshing!

The small plates here are great, and the service is outstanding. The atmosphere is fun and cozy. We will definitely return to try more dishes.

I am very pleased this place opened up in our neighborhood. The flavors are pretty traditional, but the dishes have a contemporary flair and are all very well executed. The crispy bulgogi beef is perfect, and the squid and shrimp dish has a nice garlicky spicy flavor. I have found it to be a nice place to grab a bite of food on a quiet evening.

Totally genius putting a soft serve ice cream connected to a great spicy Korean restaurant! Enjoyed our meal with attentive but not overbearing waitstaff. Really interesting menu and well done both in terms of flavor but also presentation. Mussels were a hot simple in preparation and flavorful. Spicy Dukbokki had that sweet spicy sauce you'll learn to love along with the burn. The ramen was as advertised hot with a nice set of toppings and tons of flavor. Short ribs were cut with forks and melted in the mouth. Only digs are lack of descriptions on the menu and a bit cold and drafty albeit terrible weather that night. We'll be back.
