| - My boyfriend and I, being new to NC, decided that on the day that NC State was playing at BoA stadium to go to Seoul Food. Needless to say, it had better be worth fighting traffic and being stopped by people walking and big coach buses holding players.
And it was. It was definitely packed around the area but we found a parking spot and went in -- it was crowded and loud but we got a table for two quickly. Joey was our server and he was very helpful in giving us an overview of how things worked, and checked up on us frequently after we got our food, plus gave us the weekly specials that we could capitalize on later, which was super cool.
Of course, our eyes are bigger than our stomachs and we ordered way too much -- a medium half&half order of Korean-style fried wings, kimchi fries, and the brisket and pulled pork taco. We didn't know that the kimchi fries came with the bulgogi-marinated brisket, which was a pleasant surprise. For 4 bucks, you can't beat the side of fries -- they're a large basket piled high with kimchi and brisket and an aioli sauce. You don't need ketchup for those! We both liked the fried wings, although we agreed that the spicy one was probably better. It's not too spicy and the sauces are thick on both wings. You definitely need to wash your hands after those. The tacos are overstuffed with meat and pickled veggies and were great, although by the time we tackled those we were full!
As for drinks, I got the Lychee Temple, which is just a Shirley Temple with lychee flavoring -- really good as a contrast to the food there. Next time I will try a cocktail and see how that goes.
Overall an amazing experience! Definitely would like to try it again :)
