Below is an overview of their free appetizers. I will not go through each and every single one of them, but I will attempt to butcher the ingredients; I have no idea what some of these things are.
Every night, this place serves their homemade tofu with different flavors. Tonight’s was, I believe, kimchi flavored tofu. The tofu itself was firm, once fried, and pickled in kimchi sauce.
Above is their potatoes marinated in a sweet sauce, another one of my favorite Korean mini dishes.
Here is their kimchi. I love kimchi, especially when it comes with the really large and crunchy napa pieces. The spiciness of the kimchi here, however, was not up to par.
The rest will just be pictured below. Keep in mind that these dishes are free, and bottomless.
For my main course, I ordered the Dol Sot Bi Bim Bap (Steamed Rice topped with beef and steamed vegetables), as their Bim Bap was recommend by several friends.
Don’t ask me the pronunciation, I just pointed to the menu. The type of dish is Bim Bap, which is essentially steamed rice scoped into a scorching hot clay pot. Then depending on the order, various ingredients are added on top. When received, the rice in the middle is nice and chewy, but those touching the edges of the pot become seared and crispy. Not a particularly difficult dish to get wrong, but delectable nonetheless.
Salad and soup (which I was unable to capture a photo of but was vaguely reminiscent of miso soup) accompanied the order.
I would highly recommend this place if you’re looking for an intro to Korean food. There are lots of different types of food to choose from. I have yet to hear about their bul gol gi (barbecued beef), but you really can’t go wrong with either their tofu or their bim bop.
