"Lunch is the best time to drop into this no-frills mom-and-pop operation on Charlotte Pike, where your no-nonsense servers deliver bountiful banchan and exceptionally scalding bowls of stew. The entire menu delivers, from spicy kimchi stew with pork and tofu to dolsot bibimbap with fresh vegetables and a fried egg, in a way that satisfies the same craving as classic diner food — but with spice. Plus, there’s shochu and beer on hand to quench any gochujang-induced fires, should they arise." - Ellen Fort
