It's funny how the nice new couple at church kept asking me how school was whenever they'd see my ILLINOIS sweatshirt after church. I just thought they were very friendly and brushed it off. After all, we're in the North Shore after all? Turned out, they own this place and drive up every Sunday for church. Insane people!
I used to come here during high school trips on weekends to see the boyfriend and now more often that I'm visiting the school again so I can finish up a lousy bachelor's. Still the same food, still the same portions and the homey feeling of an unpretentious restaurant.
I love the duk gook. I'll never eat it at home but when they see me in the restaurant, it's always a pat on the head and a "How's school?" I do love to support local business but this is getting really close to home.
Combos are a good idea for newbies to the Korean food world but kalbi and bulgogi are awesome choices if you're diving headfirst by yourself. Remember though, they're closed on Sundays. That's how we Koreans roll...
