I get Bibimbap cravings. Not regular old Bibimbap but Dolsot Bibimbap. There's something about that searing hot stone pot and the mixture of rice, beef, vegetables, gochujang (chili pepper paste) and a raw egg that instantly screams comfort food.
For me, there's a delicate balance between all the ingredients. Too much rice? You don't get a good mix in a spoonful. Stone pot not hot enough? The rice doesn't get that nice crunch. Too much vegetable not enough beef? It lacks the 3rd dimension of flavour. If a place can master this tricky balance, I become a frequent visitor.
Miga not only gets this balance right, they also have a variety of Dolsot Bibimbaps. They have over a dozen different offerings but my favourite is Stone Pot Rice Mixed with Beef & Mushroom. They use Kalbi/Galbi (short rib) meat and it's so tender and flavourful. Another good one is the Stone Pot with Spicy Chicken.
What Miga is famous for is their Korean BBQ. It's definitely a step up from the other Korean Grill Houses known for the all-you-can-eat option. The quality of their meat and seafood is better and the servings are generous enough that you won't miss the all-you-can-eat.
They're great for groups and if you want to experience Korean BBQ solo or as a couple, even the small tables have BBQ grills.
I don't need a reason to go to Miga but I'm glad I do.
