| - I love Han Mi Jeong!
Any restaurant that ONLY serves purple rice is a friend of mine. Usually that fancy stuff requires a $1.00 upgrade, and considering that most of the items at HMJ are decently priced, my wallet was very happy by the end of the meal.
The place is run by Korean people - the setting, dishes, cutlery are all very authentic.
The staff are incredibly nice, and they are pretty generous when it comes to banchan refills (bonus!!!).
There's usually a long line during peak hours, so do come early/very late, or just go for take-out. The space is small and turnover times can be lengthy, considering it's a Korean food restaurant.
I've had the following dishes from Han Mi Jeong
- Pork Bone Soup Hot Pot Gamjatang - Really good - flavours are rich and they give you SO much meat
- Spicy Rice Cakes Dukkbeokki - Good, just like most places
- Stone Bowl Dolsot Bibimbap - Ratio of veggies to rice is excellent. Hard to find a place that doesn't give you a mountain of rice with banchan... the portion sizes for the beef are pretty small though
- Deep fried Dumplings Mandu - Good but not as good as other korean places I've been to. Wasn't soggy or overly greasy
- Beef Dumpling Soup Galbi Mandu - VERY flavourful and lots of mandu and beef in the soup. The flavours are very rich and homey. Good for cold days.
- Pork Cutlet Rice Don Katsu - not too oily, crispy, comes with two orange slices and shredded vegetables with thousand island dressing. Pretty nice!
Will be back to add onto my list very soon :~~~)
