Itaewon Pocha

Visited this bar in Korea Town in New York. It is sorta hidden since it is on the second floor of a building, and the stairs to get to it are a bit hidden.

This place has excellent drinks and good. Got a strawberry soju and a whisky sprite (yea, pretty standard). For food, got vegetable dumplings and something called tofu in hell (it’s a sweet spicy sauce). Both great.

Wanted to get some more things that were on the menu, like some sort of traditional rice cake dish or bulgogi dish. I’ll be coming back.

First meal of 2020.

I thought this place was great, with a good variety in their bulgogi bento box. I do think though it is a bit pricey (the below picture is $30, which is the price of some AYCE).

Ichi Umi

Tried this all you can eat Japanese and Korean restaurant in Korea Town (New York), and thought it was decent for the price (apparently they also have a location in Menlo Park).

The rice cakes was probably overall my favorite Korean dish, and then the bulgogi (when it just comes out of the oven). The crab cakes and tempura were also not bad. For the Japanese portion, the hot pot was the best part (sushi was not super fresh).

One piece of advice, for the hotpot, always do the ramen noodles.

For dessert, they did have cookies and cream ice cream, which was fine for cleansing the pallet.

Bap Cafe

We went here for lunch in Reno.

I gotta say, this fast food Korean place is really good.

I ended up getting the Top-Bap with Bulgogi, an it was phenomenal. I also had some teriyaki Spivey sauce on the side, and thought that was great.

Went here for brunch. What’s interesting about this place is that it is Korean.

I got the bulgogi bap, which of course I found great. I also had a side of bacon. What I should’ve got a side of (but tried from someone else) was millennium bacon. Mmmm. Also, tried the Korean fried chicken. Also great.

And what brunch would be complete without a mimosa? They did have bottomless, but opted to not do that mainly because of the previous night.

Overall, definitely coming back to this place. Maybe next time family style might be a better choice, since trying a variety of food made the experience that much better.

Seoul Country Korean Restaurant

So this restaurant was rated 2.8 on Yelp, which definitely caught my attention. However, it was the only Asian available restaurant close by (and Cyrene really wanted to try it out). In the end, I would give this place 3.5.

The interesting thing about this place is that it served both hot pot and K BBQ. So we got one of each. We got one seafood hot pot (sauce was spicy, but good, and the seafood in it was crabs, squid, scallops, tofu, and vegetables). Not sure if was worth the $50 price tag, but Cyrene really liked it. For the K BBQ we got the bulgogi (which I enjoyed more than the seafood).

Also, I guess it’s worth mentioning we got hot Sake to accompany the meal.

Twister (SOMA Street Food)

Thought I’d change it up a bit and go to the Other food truck place nearby, soma street food. I definitely enjoyed the chill house music the DJ was playing (although I don’t think having a DJ is a regular thing for them).

The selection for food trucks was more than Spark SF, but Sundays some of them were not open.

The place I tried was Twister, which is an Asian fusion food truck. I got the bulgogi (with salad and gyoza). I though everything tasted good, but the total cost was $15, which I think is a bit pricey for what I got.
