| - This place is fabulous; WAYYY gooder than Sol's on the Square.
The dukbokgi was spot on, spicy and not too soupy. Loved the shredded cabbage and fish cakes, could've lived without the shredded carrots but I just pushed them aside.
The Banchan (side dishes) were all light and tasty.
The Kalbi was marinated with some type of fruit (the best kalbi's usually are) and I inquired. She said it's marinated in , , , and something else I forgot. Five fruits total and the meat was perfectly tenderized. I did miss the onions that Sol's had on the skillet but without was just fine.
Kimchee jjigae (kimchee soup) was good. Not spicy enough and not enough flavor, but still good. My dining buddy is sick so I was focusing on soups but the duk guk came to the rescue.
Duk guk (rice cakes in ovals, rather than the tubes like dukbokgi...otherwise same. It's just mashed rice) was SOLID! Best soup in a long time, beef broth was flavorful, rice cakes were cooked well, eggs were light and fluffy, and the seaweed garnish added a nice saltiness to the soup.
Bibim naengmyeon (cold, spicy noodles) were ok. Served with a side of mul naengmyeon (cold noodles in a cold, sour soup? soup was a nice addition, as the noodles were too dry to eat without some soup in it. I added more gochujang but I always do. My dining buddy did NOT like the mul naengmyeon soup, and didn't care much for this dish overall. More for me!
Actually ate here twice in one day; solid Korean choice! We'll be back next time we're in town for more Badger-mania!
