A personal blog detailing dining and eating experiences
We checked out this place for KBBQ (it replaced Baekjeong, which is slightly sad).
They had Toki highballs, so that’s sick.
We got the Ahgassi combo (4 different meats). The brisket and the short rib were the best meets (the pork ones were pretty bad).
The side dishes it came with were phenomenal.
Would come back again (but may stay away from the pork).
This is a Korean restaurant in Mexico City, but we mainly came here for the drinks while walking in the busy area at Condesa area.
We had Aperol Spritz’s. They were excellent (although didn’t have as much fizz). Would come back here again for the food (they have Korean fried chicken, kimchi noodles, etc).
Definitely would come back here! Not the typical Korean food I order, but I would order everything we got again.
We first ordered their signature dish, the Hangari Bossam (the pork belly it came with was very tender… you’re supposed to eat it with the veggies acting like a sandwich).
We also ordered the Chicken Kal Guk Su. Chicken was ok, but really liked the broth and udon noodles that were in it.
We also got a side of dumplings, which were also great.
We went here for dinner in our first night in LA. Definitely was excited to go here because I had recently just visited the New York one.
In terms of the side dishes, I will say New York had more variety (ie they had the crab cakes). Nonetheless, food was still good. They had the side of eggs that slowly gets cook as you’re eating, which is similar to New York.
The combo we got was the beef combo that serves 4-5 people. It came with the pork kimchi stew that was really really good.
For drinks, got some peach flavored Soju.
So yea, would come back here again. It is recommended to make a reservation ahead of time (although they are strict about your whole party showing up at the same time).
We went to this Korean place for lunch, which is near the Apple Office.
The lunch rice bowl special is a great value. For $20 you get everything pictured below. I got galbi bibimbap, and it came with shrimp tempura, salad, soup, fried potato cake and Korean rolls. Hands down would come back here again.
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.
Went to this Michelin star restaurant on a Sunday night. Great KBBQ place.
For drinks, got a plum soju (2nd picture). It wasn’t really sweet at all, Whig was surprising, but good.
We got most of the meats on the menu (wish I paid attention to the ones we didn’t get). For the sauces that come with them, only one I really liked (it was the sweet one. One of them was wayyy too spicey.
Tl;dr, would get everything below again.
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).
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.
