| - This place has all the essentials of a classic find: A tiny hole in the wall entrance, a somewhat dive look, seems to be run by "just a couple of guys" who double as the waiters and chef, and fantastic food. As an added bonus you're as likely to hear the language of the country whose food they specialize in spoken as you are English.
I tried the "blazing fire chicken" and kimchee fried rice and was not disappointed. The chicken is easily enough to serve two, with a side of rice of course, and has a pretty decent kick to it. You do have to be on your toes as you eat it, though, as this is not boneless. Some chunks have a bit of bone, others don't. But in my mind that's not a problem, it makes for better flavor and just means you have to pay attention to what you eat. No shoveling it down here!
The kimchee fried rice was also fantastic, spicy, plenty of egg, a good sesame flavor under it all, and chock full of delicious pickled cabbage. If you've never tried kimchee this is a great introduction to it, and if you know the culinary delight that it is you'll really appreciate this rice.
If you're in the neighborhood give it a chance, you won't be disappointed.
