It's been a while since we last visited Miga. We were in the area so we figured, why not?
Reading through the big menu made me feel like the restaurant is not as simple and authentic as Arirang. There are more than 15 options for bibimbap -- chicken teriyaki included..!
One reason I love going to Korean restaurants is the side dishes and Miga does serve a few (kimchi, beansprouts, seaweed and honey-glazed potato). But I didn't like their kimchi (it was just sweet and spicy, nothing else), which meant I wasn't a big fan of their beef and kimchi bibimbap that my boyfriend decided to try. He didn't think it was anything special either.
I ordered the jam pong and the portion was big (quite comparable to Arirang). However, the first word we thought of was...salty. I had to drink some tea or have a bite of a side dish after every spoonful. But the noodles were cooked perfectly and there were a couple mussels and shrimps to enjoy with it.
Based on their menu and our experience, the restaurant seems to tailor to a more Western palate. It's not as authentic as I thought it was and everything was too salty for our taste. (However, I can't say for sure this is the case for their BBQ items as well.)
