Minji's Cafe

"Ask Lauderhill locals where to go for a relaxed Korean meal, and the answer will be Minji’s Cafe. The small family-owned eatery is known for its fresh, made-to-order traditional Korean offerings such as spicy rice cakes, Korean blood sausage, and deeply flavored soft tofu stew. When it comes to specialties, don’t skip the kimbap (rice and other ingredients rolled in seaweed served as small bites), and remember to try the deep-fried chicken gizzards and seafood pancakes." - Juliana Accioly

"The handwritten chalk menu that lines Minji’s walls (featuring a soju-chugging Pikachu) is almost as fun to read as it is to eat. Consider your options carefully while K-pop concerts play on the TV behind you. Start with one of the small plates, like spicy tteokbokki, a kimchi pancake, or fried Korean dumplings the size of your fist. For bigger plates, your options are noodle dishes, Korean barbecue, stews, and soups—but the best things here involve broth. Their excellent naengmyeon comes with chunks of ice floating in the tangy broth, and there might not be a soup on Earth that’s more appropriate for infernally hot South Florida." - ryan pfeffer
