| - Wow -- thanks to the sole Yelper who reviewed this (an out of towner, I might add...) I took my fellow foodie adventurer out to find this place in the Commercial Arts Center (always sketchy...).
To be honest, I was on a hunt for KFC = Korean Fried Chicken...but I just can't pass up bipbimbap...so we had the stone pot version with an order of their "KFC."
Our server, a lovely bilingual Korean woman, was surprised that I knew about banchan...and in seconds, out she came with a rolling cart (yes, there were that many), and began to set us up. From potatoes with jalapenos, spinach bean curd pancakes, kimchee, sprouts, fishcake, seaweed and daikon, pickled radish - and more (there were at least 10) and they were all delicious.
The dolsot (stonepot) bipbimbap is such a treat...perfect for this weather...the egg was fresh and the yolk was still runny. The beef had tremendous flavor. Add chili sauce, stir, mmmmm
But then she brought out this ENORMOUS plate of chicken wings - with the bipbimbap, it's really more than 2 can eat, but we soldiered on...because...that's what we do...
but it needed one thing to make it all perfect - Hite!
So we shared a hite beer...and I've decided if I can get through the rest of the day without needing a nap, it will be a huge accomplishment.
We also came to the conclusion that not only will we go back again but we'd help spread the word... and instantly this has moved up to our #1 lunch treat...
Don't expect to find Ma Dang on the door -- look at the reviewer's picture of the exterior -- see the word Garden? That's what you need to look for -- it's down a few doors south from Birria Jalisco...
As the previous yelper said, it's a hidden gem.
