| - Walked in on a whim on Saturday night and found my new favourite K-town spot.
+ Our group was greeted promptly with hot corn tea and menus, which was great because it took a very long time to read through them, and we were hungry.
+ While we sipped Soju and waited for our food, we received a plate of DELICIOUS FRIED EGGS, on the house. WHAT.
+ As previously noted, banchan is bountiful and includes a pickled root vegetable that blew our minds.
+ Unlike other places, the menu offers (amongst its dozens upon dozens of dishes) only a dolsot ($9.10) or regular ($7.10) bibimbap of the beef/veggie variety. I was able to swap the meat out for tofu with no problems at all.
+ I ordered the tobokki (rice cakes with fish cakes, $9.10) "normal" on the "hot-normal-mild" spicy scale, thinking, you know, "normal". Guess what? "Normal" is also hot. IT'S SUPER HOT. I'm leaving this as a plus even though I literally nearly died, in case you like your food spicy, and also because it came with an egg too. WHAT.
+ Haemul Pajun (seafood and green onion pancake, $8/$12) was so tasty. Small was plenty. Good for sharing.
+ I tasted the Doenjang Jigae (soybean stew, $7.10) and it was really yummy, like a super hearty miso.* It came with purple rice and would make the perfect lunch and I'm totally getting it next time.
*Note for those with dietary restrictions: the stew had seafood in it although it was advertised as having only tofu and vegetables - a plus for me but obviously not for a non-seafood eater. So if you have any concerns, double check with your server.
