| - My friend and I stumbled into Il Bun Ji while strolling down Koreatown one evening. I actually wasn't feeling much like having Korean food, so when I found out this place served sushi, we decided to go in!
....buuuut, when I saw the menu, somehow I ended up ordering a Korean dish after all :D It was a warm, humid-y kinda day and "bibim naengmyun" just sounded so good.
We ordered:
1) Bibim naengmyun: cold buckwheat noodles with gochujang sauce
- the sauce was sweet and a little bit spicy, and went well with the chewy noodles, the cool cucumber, radish slices and bosc pear
2) Unagi don: grilled eel on rice
3) Some fresh sashimi: tasty and smooth, good value
The first thing that came was the typical Japanese starter salad... but with a bowl of congee! Whaaaat. I knew it was supposed to be a Korean + Japanese place but where did congee fit?
Anyway, next, a few Korean banchan came too. In the end, it turned out to be a LOT of food. It was all delicious though, and at the very end, we were given an icy cold orange pre-sliced. Juiciest orange ever, and perfect ending.
Will be back here again!
