The first time I visited Bow Bulgogi was when I had arranged a meeting with my cousin. It was reminiscent of one of those sit-downs you've seen from the Godfather, though I'm not Michael Corleone and we're not plotting the demise of the heads of major crime families.
The dining room at BB is cozy. I love places like this where you can just kick back and have a conversation, or clandestine meeting, without the distractions of a booming soundtrack or a noisy crowd. The service is fast and friendly and I can't complain about the food.
The menu is a nice cross section of many familiar Korean favourites like kalbi, bibimbap, and bulgogi. The banchan (little side dishes) are plentiful and delicious. Nothing here is 'elevated' or 're-interpreted'. The food is what it is, and it's good.
I always say that I am a huge supporter of small family business and this one is no exception. This is a great place.
