Last Friday - J and I were in the mood for Korean Fried Chicken. Mad for Chicken was too crowded so we decided to try Kyochon.

We were sorely disappointed. The chicken wings were tiny and not cheap - $1 a wing basically. The skin wasn't a crispy as…More »

WOW - found this place while walking to my man's new pad. It's still about 10 blocks away but I couldn't resist - home-style korean cooking? This little shop is more of a takeout place - excellent for those who work or live nearby.

I ordered their Bu…More »

MMM...I'm preparing of a trip to Seoul this Dec and I'm told this place is pretty authentic. They make their own tofu (organic, mind you...)

My girlfriend asked me: "Want to have the yummiest noodles you'll ever have?" I replied "SURE!!" and up we went to this hole in the wall, up some dingy stairs to a door with just a paper sign. Ghetto.

Once in the restaurant - I was surprised by how…More »

I'm far from being vegetarian but the good reviews here got me making a reservation for 5 on a Friday night.

The restaurant doesn't feel very Korean so I'm inclined to think its more Asian-inspired than Korean per se. My friend did the ordering and I…More »

I've never had fried chicken in a Korean-styled sports bar, with korean music blasting and football playing on tv.
