In the same family of Korean as Ma Dang Good Soo and Myung Dong Kyoja is a place we go to the most in Korea town. Both coworkers for lunch and family have become addicted and I thought it’s worth mentioning here separately
What’s really attractive is that it’s fairly small and they focus on a small menu and it’s a very quick drive on Olympic and easy in easy out every time but all the food is super fresh and tasty. Some of the best kimchi I’ve had is theirs.
What they focus on and do really well are the most popular wheat flour noodle chicken soups Dak Kalguksu
the fact that we ordered two of them probably explains why we didn’t get the kalgooksoo which is to me more a cold weather kind of dish. though we did get the spicy rice cakes
went back to the old faithful today since we had too little time to go to our usuals… wow it’s really good… better than before. they are now notorious for the dumplings… place full of only koreans… broth of the kalguksu was phenomenal and rich. pricing is way higher than our last visit but we’re back baby!
I only recently learned that each tableside kimchi is thrown out after each table is cleared, which seems insane to me. I usually ask if I can take the leftover kimchi home.
Kids love it because it’s delicious and not spicy. But grown ups eat it too, you just won’t see them eating it in restaurants. It’s more of a food on the go.
I forget how great the rice cake is there. It’s served with a side of salty anchovy broth for a perfect counterpoint (because the dish is mainly sweet and spicy so the broth clears)
