Might as well give a trip report of the Bike's new "Korean-Themed" menu for anyone who's interested (I sampled 2 items off this new menu offering):
1) "Korean Style-Ramen" - surprisingly filling! The menu is misleading in that it says the ramen only comes with shrimp, but it comes with beef, egg, and all the things you'd expect in a hearty ramen dish. A spicy soup and the broth was not too thin, though the noodles were no better than insta-noodles - I'll give the dish a 6.5/10 - some guy at my table had the Yukejang (beef noodle soup) - he's Korean as well, and said it was solid just FYI.
2) Korean Dumplings - the newest dumping menu item at the Bike (so said the floorman) - the dipping sauce was tasty but the skin of the dumplings, for pan fried, was a bit too soggy for my taste, which is a shame cause the filling was pretty solid - 6/10
3) Fried Shrimp Platter (not on the Korean Menu) - I actually wanted to order some other kind of shrimp dish the guy next to me had, but ended up getting fried shrimp with some corn - would not recommend - 3/10
