Nov. 23rd, 2024:
Tonight we had a group of 7 and this is all that I got to try. In order of photos: So-tteok-so-tteok ($8.95), Japchae ($15.95), Samgyeop bibim guksu ($17.95), ttukbaegi bulgogi ($19.95) and beef kimbap ($10). All prices are before tax and tip.
I want to start off that this is my first time tasting any of this food and it was very much an experimental night. I am very happy to have tried everything. Everything was reasonably priced and very tasty.
So-tteok-so-tteok wasn't nearly as spicy as I expected. Flavours were comforting and I can see why this is a popular street food.
Japchae is easily one of the best noodle dishes I have ever tasted. I'm obsessed with glass noodles, the warmth of the dish and the strong seasame flavour.
Samgyeop bibim guksu is a fresh, cold, flavourful dish. I really enjoyed the flavours and the sweetness. This dish is perfect for a summer day and not really a cold winter day.
Beef kimbap is a little wider than sushi but thinner. I actually really liked it because it allowed me to try more of other things!
But the absolutely star dish of the evening was the ttukbaegi bulgogi. Seriously, perfect on a stormy winter night. This broth is easily the best broth I have ever tasted. It's flavourful, hearty, comforting and unique. Best of all, IT HAS GLASS NOODLES TOO. Phenomenal dish. Order this first and foremost if you go.
I am going to return to Kimchi. Especially for that bulgogi stew! read more
