"I've been coming to Miega for years and finally decided to write a review because this place is great! I've come here with friends in groups and by myself for lunch, no problems whatsoever. \n\nThe Food\nI've tried multiple things off of the menu. I love the barbeque, it's a great way to eat with friends as you can cook it at your table. The menu in that area is pretty extensive and well-priced. Their kimbap and dokkbokki are also pretty good.\n\nIf I don't come here for the barbeque I come here for the sundubu jigae with seafood. It's a lovely stew that screams comfort food. Miega, out of all of the Korean restaurants in the area, does it best. They don't skimp out on the veggies (onions and zucchini), the tofu, or the seafood. There's always a lot of seafood and the dish looks like a stew as a opposed to a soup, as it should. Plus there's a raw egg thrown in that cooks along with the stew as you eat it (it's in a hot stone pot). As to the spice level, I wouldn't say this is spicy but it's definitely not mild. It's hard to give a good gauge as well...I'm white and hardly ate spicy food before spending several months in Korea - the taste buds adapted. I would highly recommend it, if you come for lunch it's a bit cheaper! My total was $11 for lunch - not bad considering the amount of food you get!\n\nMiega also does great banchan (side dishes). You normally get the staple, kimchi (two types: radish and cabbage), and the rest is often a guess but it's always good. This time around I got dried squid in a sauce, never had it before but it was beyond good. What's more, if you run out of a side dish, you can ask for more - same goes for rice and it's at no extra charge.\n\nVEGEGTARIANS - note that while there may be veggie options, if you aren't pescatarian I'd double check if they use things like anchovies, fish sauce, etc. Anchovies can often be found in the making of the broth itself for some of the dishes. \n\nThe Price\nI'd say the price is spot on for the food. In comparison to other Korean restaurants in the area, I would argue it's cheaper for some dishes than other places. Even though that's the case, the menu is extensive, decently priced, and everything's delicious. \n\nThe Atmosphere\nThe place is well decorated and doesn't feel confined. There's plenty of tables, both booths with the grill installed and normal tables. If you come at a busy time wanting barbeque and there's no booths, not too worry, Miega can set you up with a portable grill at a table (similar to how Seoul Garden does). It's clean and there's normally a tv playing that's visible to the patrons, always fun if there's a music program going on.\n\nThe Service\nI've always had great service here. The servers are very open to answering your questions and giving you recommendations, great for those who don't know too much about Korean food. A lot, if not most, of the tables are equipped with a button that rings to get the servers attention. I love the type of service, you are left alone to enjoy your food unless you need help and then you ring the bell."^^ . "2017-10-12T00:00:00"^^ . . "0"^^ . "5"^^ . "1"^^ . . "1"^^ . .
