| - Pittsburgh is not known for its Asian cuisine, but Sushi Kim's might just be the most popular Korean restaurant in the city. I've been here just a couple times. The venue is by no means impressive. The decor is very dated and dark. Whatever you do, do not drink the water. My friend claims that it made him sick to his stomach. Pittsburgh is not well known for its tap water. I'm going to take a water bottle with me the next time I go.
The first time, I went a friend and I had the kalbi and the mandu. It was palpable, but nothing special. I've heard that the kalbi is one of the better things on the meal, but I personally don't like eating with my hands.
The second time, another friend of mine introduced me to soondubu. I got the vegetable only soondubu, while my friend got the regular soondubu. Soondubu is a spicy tofu based soup. Traditionally, it is served with vegetables and shellfish. My friend was kinda disappointed with the regular, because it only had shrimp. For me, the vegetable soondubu hit the spot! On a cold winter's day, this spicy soup was absolutely perfect! Craving to go back again!
I've heard the BBQ dinner is very good!
