"Local regulars hit up this lunch spot for a splendid menu of soul foods intrinsic to the Korean palate. The bibim guksu, cold spicy noodles, are done the way they’re supposed to: light, slightly sweet, spicy, tangy and umami with ingredients like gochugaru, vinegar, and sesame oil and the fresh crunch of lettuce and bean sprouts in a big metal bowl. But for something heartier, get the gamja tang (pork bone and potato stew) heavy with perilla seed flavor or the oyster jeon, golden-fried handmade mounds of egg batter and oyster. The six-plus banchan dishes offer even more flavors and textures to the ordered dishes — as Korean food traditionally does." - Caroline Shin
