I've been craving Korean food for some time now. The only option close to downtown is not so tasty, so I've been dying to dine at K Peppers.
I'm happy to report that K Peppers killed it; exactly what I was looking for. We were the first table on a Monday night sbout an hour and a half after they opened, so we got some pretty attentive service. The prices are a little steep for what I've come to expect, but it's worth it.
I knew the meal was off to a good start when we got bowls of potato soup and some solid banchan. The kimchi was taaaasty and some of the best I've had.
We started with toppoki - rice cakes braised in sweet & spicy chili sauce. I love me some toppoki and this was the bomb.
I was craving some soup and decided on the kimchi jjigae with pork - a rich stew with kimchi, tofu, pork, and some seasonings. Holy amazeballs, this stuff was great!! My only regret was not super sizing up to a stone bowl. Definitely excited to head out again for some more soup.
Hey Middleton (and Madison), get out there and support K Peppers; you won't regret it.
