| - This is a great little restaurant in Korea town. Very cozy in the winter time, and you get a lot of food for the price. The place seats about 35 people and was packed on a Tuesday night. They don't do reservations so we had to wait around 20 minutes to get a table for 6. We shared two large pots of stew (which comes with two bowls of rice each), an order of spicy rice cakes, and a plate of seafood pancakes.
The kimichi stew had a variety of ingredients such as sausages, bacon, pork slices, rice cakes, instant noodles, fish cakes, and other veggies as well. It was spicier than the pork bone soup and thicker as well, probably from the starch in there. I personally enjoyed the soup base of the pork bone one more. The meat fell off the bone, and it was loaded up with plenty of bean sprouts and cabbage. The rice cakes were nice and chewy. The pancake was huge! It was a little on the starchy side and their dipping sauce was a bit too heavy on the soy sauce. The highlight for me were the side dishes. Their pickled radish and seaweed were on the sour and sweet side, which is the type I prefer. The glass noodles and beansprouts were not too greasy and the potatoes were cooked just right.
The entire meal came out to be around $60 total, and we were beyond stuffed. We had most of our rice and more than half of the stew left. My only complaint is that the store is a bit run down and could use a renovation. The space is also a little crammed, and couples beside us were asked to share tables with other people. However, as long as they stay true to the food, I will still go back when I'm in the neighborhood.
