"Butane camping stoves are handed out freely at this casual Korean spot tucked into a Factoria strip mall. They help warm the massive skillets piled high with cheesy bulgogi and bubbling hot pots of spam. And while those sizzling dishes have the most flair, the other (less fiery) options are just as impressive—like their bossam platter, which looks like it requires at least two whole pigs’ worth of pork belly, and the comforting soondubu jjigae. Expect some menu changes as they settle in, but this place works great for a laid-back weeknight dinner and cheese pull. Portions are massive, too—bring a few friends. Food Rundown photo credit: Kayla Sager-Riley Yangnyeom Chicken Wings These wings are coated in a tasty gochujang sauce, but they could use a bit more crunch under that heavy sweet-spicy glaze. photo credit: Kayla Sager-Riley Bori Signature Bossam Order this. The pork belly is tender, but the DIY wrap takes it to the next level. Bundle the meat up with napa cabbage so sweet and crisp it looks like it was grown on a Sims farm. Add some spicy kimchi radish, slivers of raw garlic for a sharp bite, and a dab of ssamjang for that salty, savory kick. photo credit: Kayla Sager-Riley Soondubu Jjigae This is the one thing here that’s best enjoyed on your own rather than sharing. The spicy, umami-filled stew is absolutely great—you can customize it with different fillings like silken tofu and a poached egg, but add extra kimchi and the plump dumplings for the full effect. photo credit: Kayla Sager-Riley Banchan There’s a whole display counter inside the restaurant packed with takeout banchan. But you’ll also get a couple with your meal—like tangy kimchi and marinated radish and onions with a bright, lemony kick that is sweet enough to be dessert." - Kayla Sager-Riley
