| - I was never really a firm believer in "Hole in the Walls" because most people have probably already found them... But oddly, there's Duck and Chicken.
I'll be honest, I was originally planning on going to Cho Sun Ok for their Gamjatang, but turned around after looking at the crowded line up. Duck and Chicken is literally one intersection nearby. To our surprise, when the wife and I went in, only one table was filled. My thoughts were, "Oh boy I'm not too sure about this place."
I'm glad I was wrong though.
Firstly, side dishes: VERY different selection than most Korean restaurants. Eggplant, Burdock root, Mashed pumpkin, White (Water) Kimchi (named after its white, clear appearance), broccoli with hot pepper paste and... the regular Kimchi. My favourite was the mashed pumpkin! Sweet and really helps mellow the spiciness.
We ordered the family size Gamjatang and for about $25 dollars, it was totally worth its price. I had enough for 3 days worth of lunch afterwards! Their Gamjatang didn't have any potatoes, but that's okay. The huge pot was full of pork bone meat! Chock full of flavour - I can probably even say it's on par with Cho Sun Ok.
This place deserves more love. Check it out, I highly recommend!
