I visited Eggs with Benefits on Thursday, and tried the Doshirak Korean Lunch Bowl- it sounded like the most interesting item on the menu, though everything sounded delicious!
What immediately pleasantly surprised me was a beautiful presentation of crunchy nori sheets, sesame seeds, and fragrant sesame oil on top of the bowl. The serving tray was clean and covered in parchment paper, and the owner also added a hashbrown patty on the side.
The bowl itself was delicious, with very unique flavors- the egg was fluffy and flavorful as promised, the sauteed kimchi was buttery and was (from a person who doesn't love kimchi) very good, the spam was surprisingly delicious and crispy- and the toppings added a perfect element of umami and salt. This was a delicious lunch, no ingredient was overpowering the others. The hashbrown patty was crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside and an absolutely welcome addition!
The shop was very clean and aesthetic, I was able to get some work done while I ate which was great! The open kitchen format was also a nice touch. I look forward to returning to try the pork tonkatsu, curry, and egg which seemed very popular. Also- they carry do-rite donuts!
My only feedback would be to possibly offer an omurice/french omelette style egg on top for more variance in the textures of the dish- but the fluffy scrambled egg is delicious, likely way easier to prep, and a more widely liked option.
Overall, Eggs with Benefits is a great new restaurant in the area that is absolutely worth trying- and you'll probably find yourself coming back again and again!
