Baekjeong Korean BBQ

Wanted to get some kbbq after after work drinks, and this was close by and highly recommended.

For drinks got Soju with milk. For the main, we got the Hodo’s favorite small combo (which feeds 2, but still was fine for 3 of us), which include beef, short ribs and pork belly. All great food (they also cooked the food for you). As well, the side dishes came with fish cake and broccoli, which is what you want. Also, they had this interesting side dish that we mixed with egg, cheese and corn. Lastly, we did order cold glass noodle soup and kimchi soup. Also all great.

I would go back here in a heart beat.

Orenchi Beyond

Went here for Sunday brunch.

For appetizers we got the spicy edamame, the fried takoyaki, and the shrimp. All great choices.

For the main course, I got the Beyond Ramen, and added fish cakes. It was definitely a bit salty because of the garlic, but still tasted good. I did try the soup of the original Orenchi Ramen, and I do think is does taste better. So next time :).

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.

Jong Ga House

This place was good, but you really need to know what meats to get. Also, if you go during happy hour (after 9PM), it’s only $25 for AYCE

There are two types of short ribs. One was good, and the other was not (need to go back and figure that out). Also, there was a really good beef dish, but unfortunately I don’t know the name either. But the one thing that shouldn’t be ordered (although I didn’t personally try it) is the intestines. Multiple people didn’t like it. Only one person did. (The picture below has the bad short ribs).

The one thing this place is also missing is fish cakes :(.

Also, one final note about this place is that they have this pre-recorded happy birthday sing that goes play almost every 30 minutes (it was interesting the first time, but then got annoying shortly after).

Update 4/6/2019: first thing, they do have fish cakes. But apparently they run out very fast since when I tried to order a second round, they said they were out! Second, the kimchi fried rice is a must. Wow, it’s good. Third, the yogurt soju was actually a bit too sweet. Maybe try the mango or strawberry next time.
