A big bowl of goodness is what I had! It is Sunday Afternoon, my long drive from Kentucky has made me hungry for something unusual than my normal football watching meals (pizza or wings).
Continuing on my food adventure of Pittsburgh, I decided to stay local to where I am staying and saw the great reviews on Dasnoii Korean Bistro via Yelp.
Intrigued, I decided to venture out. It was actually hard to find for me (probably due to the fact I just spent 5 hours in a car and my eyes gravitated to the Basefall sign below the Bistro). I found it and glad I did.
I sat down and the waitress knew I was lost. I knew what I wanted but I have to admit I am a Korean rookie. I have always had good Korean food but it has been stew based and not sure what it was.
Following the lead of my fellow Yelpers - I purchased the Dolsot Bibimbap (Beef). All I can say is I went into the meal open minded and I was happy the Yelp Team recommended it.
My waitress approached me with what look like a bowl made of lava rock on a wooden plank. She warned me that it was very hot. Like a kid - I did the quick touch - and yes I can tell you it was very hot. I beleive I burned my finger prints off and to while writing this review I wonder why I did that but ... back to the meal.
The bowl was layered with what looked like a fried egg, beef, rice, veges - I have no idea what kind of veges but the make up of my garden section appeared to be cabbage, carrots, sprouts, etc...
I poured the bbq sauce on and mixed it up. It was very yummy and I am sure good for me. This meal made me feel good that I ate versus the tempting 4 beers and 2 dozen wings that I normally do on a football watching day.
I am probably committing sacrilege but my mixed up concoction tasted similar to a Korean style Japanese steakhouse meal -(I am not sure if that is going to make sense but wow! it was good)
I am excited to go back and jump out of a tree with one of their stews.
A high recommend.
