Boston Critic Pays Tribute to Jonathan Gold - Eater Boston
"Simjang in Worcester gets a visit from Bob Datz of the Telegram & Gazette this week. Sibling to Deadhorse Hill, Simjang serves Korean-American food, and the 'dishes are well-imagined, well-executed and well-presented,' Datz writes. He calls special attention to the tender pork belly bossam and a short rib entree that 'took the prize for presentation and melded so much flavor into the dish it was almost easy to forget the lean, medium-cooked boneless rib cuts.' For some smaller bites, there are braised peanuts, blistered shishito peppers, and a corndog that's 'maybe for the kids but probably not.' Also of note: the fried Korean chicken — smothered in a salt peppercorn rub or a 'shimmering' miso soy garlic — that Datz writes is 'super-crispy and tender inside.' Overall, he rates the restaurant four stars." - Dana Hatic
