This is the kind of food inner-city Koreans excel at - fried and tasty, filling and cheap, at the intersection of southern soul food and immigrant street food. Where I grew up, fried chicken hearts/liver/gizzards, "lake trout" (not trout, and not from a lake), etc. were a staple of inner city Baltimore (not crab cakes!).
Not sure how Asian Corned Beef came to be, but it feels very familiar. A big empty waiting room behind a wall of 3" bulletproof glass (which I haven't seen much in Detroit; Jamaica Jamaica is another) through which you pay and get your food through a tiny revolving door. Sad to see, but the cost of doing business, I guess.
It was packed when I got there, and clearly with regulars - lots of friendly chatter with staff and owners as they ordered. Juicy corned beef, tender, peppery ribbons of pastrami, and other deli meats mix with cheese in thick, crunchy eggrolls (two to an order), with more traditional sides (cornmeal fried okra was made fresh), and not much else. Probably terrible for you, but absolutely delicious. In Ann Arbor and East Lansing, No Thai's "Nogi rolls" are similar, but pale in comparison. Will try the deviled eggs next time.
Totally worth it, though my wife was uncomfortable bringing the kids in (last time we'd seen so much bulletproof glass was in Compton) and didn't think much of the food. Now if they only had lake trout here... (psst - get your gizzards at Mary's Chicken & Fish in Ann Arbor!)
