korean bbq


My brother-in-law Will travels to exotic places a lot for work. He has been to Singapore, Taiwan, Ireland, England, Japan and South Korea, and is going to India next month. He really enjoyed the food in South Korea on his last trip, so as a family we all went out to Korean. When he picked a place in West Valley, we all weren't too sure about this dinner idea. But it turned out FANTASTIC! I loved it. It was very authentic (I could just tell ok). Koreans are known for their many side dishes (banchan) that come with your steamed rice. And they are FREE! In little side dishes they give you seasoned cucumbers, marinated cooked potatoes, some sort of brussel sprout, kimchi, and seaweed. I would go their just for their steamed rice and side dishes. I couldnt get enough, so they let me have more...for free! Well if thats not enough to entice you to go, their main entrees were awesome too. The marinated BBQ beef (Bulgogi), the Bulgogi with clear noodles, and their marinated BBQ pork were our top choices. They also have delicious soft tofu and soups. Their seafood tofu soup was bomb. They come out boiling and they give you the eggs to crack in them yourself. I did wonder though, wouldn't that be the worst thing to spill on your customer if you worked here, boiling hot soup. ouch.
We also noted that their place was mostly filled with Korean customers. That is always a good sign when you want authenticity.
So Mitchell better get excited, when he gets home we are going to surprise him with our new-found knowledge in Korean food and take him to:
