"Whenever we finish eating creamy pumpkin soup and pickle-y banchan at Borit Gogae, we feel like we could float back home. This food is a probiotic paradise, and the restaurant plays calming music that could lull you to sleep after your cup of cinnamon punch. Order the barley rice set for $30 per person, which comes with a bowl of barley rice, a royal spread of banchan, and three kinds of soup. Just when you think the banchan will stop coming, the servers start layering bowls of sea snails, acorn jelly, and pickled radish on top of each other like stacking cups." - brant cox, nikko duren, sylvio martins
