I went with the salmon, and my boyfriend chose the beef pasta.

Table showing calorie and macro info per topping

I also liked that they had a table showing exactly how the calories and carbs, protein, and fat change depending on which toppings you add.

Smoked duck with tofu noodles

Smoked duck

I visited with my parents this time, and they ordered the light and tofu noodle version. So many people love smoked duck, right? This was a menu item that pretty much anyone could enjoy.

The tofu noodles had a nice, chewy texture, which felt like a better option than eating plain vegetables alone. For salads and poke bowls, freshness of the ingredients is everything, and the vegetables and toppings here looked so vibrant and fresh that my mouth was watering just looking at them.

Salmon light bowl

Salmon steak

I went with the basic light base, and it came loaded generously with thick, fresh salmon — no fishiness at all, just a fully nutty, clean flavor. Paired with the special sauce, it practically melted in my mouth, making it a standout among poke bowls in Changwon and Masan.

Beef steak pasta

Steak pasta

The steak is seasoned fairly strongly overall, so I'd recommend not adding extra sauce. The pepper flavor is quite strong, and it's also fairly spicy and salty.

It was perfect for filling up on protein deliciously even while dieting. Mixing in the various toppings, rice, and vegetables to my taste, I was able to enjoy it right down to the last bite without getting tired of it.
