Omg. Bacon?? I’ve never had or seen bacon kimbap until I walked into this place. Such a wonderful place! Super clean. Super friendly lady working there. She was able to speak English and communicate everything I needed to know and answer all questions I had. Very reasonably priced. Much better than H Mart in price and quality. I don’t even want to compare. It’s like when people compare Pizza Hut to places like Fuoco pizza. Just can’t do it. Both the bacon and angus steak rolls were delicious. All the ingredients inside were proportioned perfectly and she did not skimp on the meats. Not sure how she can make any money to stay in business? But I hope they do! She was open on sinda I also bought a bag of frozen kimchi dumplings for $6. They are handmade in the store. I guess it’s a restaurant (?) but seems more like a store because everything’s packaged to go. I can’t wait to try that. She also did a great job packaging up my items. You can really tell she cares about her food and how it’s presented and that it is enjoyed! And in this case, it was…! Bacon???! Update- tried the kimchi dumplings and also tried pork. They are both good! However, be warned that the kimchi is spicy! She warned me when I bought it that the kimchi would be spicy, but I don’t mind spicy things and sometimes figure people just say that. But this was actually spicy! I liked it tho. Also tried the spam gimbap, the pork belly gimbap. Both were sooo good! Pork belly has jalapeño slices in it! Really good and all her rolls are made with care.

Sal’s Pizza – Menu with Prices – 6773 Carnelian St, Rancho Cucamonga

Best pizza around the Rancho Cucamonga area I have found! Tried it for the first time, I ordered the XL 2 topping pizza for $23! Slices were huge, they were very generous with the toppings and it tasted delicious!! I normally just eat 1 or 2 “small” slices, like pizza hut sizes, but this pizza was so good I ate 4! And the slices were big I couldve been full with 1! I didnt get to take a photo, I was too hungry! They dont accept debit/credit so be warned of that and its not a sot down restaurant, they’re just a store front. But this is perfect to call ahead and pick up for an amazing dinner! Dont waste time with fast food pizza when you can have the real thing! I will be coming back!

Sparrow Meat Market Menu with Prices 407 N 5th Ave, Ann Arbor

I’ve always loved sparrow for high quality meat despite slightly higher prices, but they just recently they did me wrong. I’ve bought skin on pork belly for a long time from Sparrow, i believe it usually arrives on Monday and they sell it for 1.99 a pound. I showed up today to get some and it was 3.99. After asking a worker why they marked it up he told me it was always that price… which I know isn’t true. However, I care more about quality than price (why I’m shopping at sparrow in the first place) so i went on to buy my skin on pork belly as I planned. When I got home, I found out the butcher had just cut off the very top lean layer of the belly with the skin, and left the rest of it to be sold as pork belly w/o skin. Let me rephrase that, my pork belly I purchased had no fat, none, it looked like a tenderloin. I am confused what I should do with this very lean belly. This is not the way that sparrow used to serve their skin on pork belly. I bought a two pound section 10 days ago and it was a nice fatty pork belly with the skin on; it was also $2 a pound, but that’s not the point. Long story short I am very disappointed in the product I purchased from Sparrow today.

9 Delicacies – Menu with Prices – 520 128th St SW B-8, Everett

9 Delicacies is extremely good. We ordered the Korean Fried Chicken Sandwich and the Pork Belly Plate with the Spicy Cucumber Salad and House-Made Kimchi. The Korean Fried Chicken Sandwich was a crispy, juicy, saucy, messy piece of goodness on a bun. The chicken was very crispy, but very moist. The sauce was sweet. The combination of the crispy textures, sweetness of the sauce, and the amount of chicken created a nice Unami-bomb (and messy) of a sandwich. The Pork Belly Plate was extremely good as well. There was a decent amount of Pork Belly – enough to share between two people (with the sandwich) and not feel like I missed out. I could’ve done with the Pork Belly being a little more fattier and render, but the flavor was there. The rice was very light and aromatic – the coconut was a really nice flavor profile that made the rice unique. The Spicy Cucumber Salad was very good. It had a nice spice to it and had a great freshness and snap as well. It was the perfect compliment to the salty, fatty pork and meaty and messy sandwich. The Kimchi was very good too. It had a nice snap/crunch, wasn’t too sour, wasn’t too sweet – it was very fresh. Good. We ordered a Spicy Cucumber Salad to go. It was a bit disappointing because 1) they didn’t completely fill up the container and 2) as the salad set it became more condensed, so by the time we got home only about 60 percent of the container was full. I wish they would’ve packed it more – but oh well. Really good food. I’ll definitely be back. It almost feels an Asian/Korean “Meat & Bread.”

Korean Ssam Bar – Menu with Prices – 1303 N Washington Blvd, Sarasota

Overall a good dining experience & service. The menu and offerings were not as authentic Korean as I’m used to but I grew up eating Korean food and have had the privilege of eating at any random place in K-town in Los Angeles. The kimchi fried rice was great, my boyfriend cleaned his plate. It could be stepped up a notch with a protein like pork belly. The soon doobu was pretty good but they charge $2 extra for seafood and the 3/5 spice was not very spicy. The fried pork dumplings (Mandu) were slightly dry and the banchan was just okay. My sister and her husband had previously tried the galbi and said it was good, and the bibimpop and jap chae and other dishes I saw on other tables looked decent. I’d eat here again in a pinch!

Yummy Express – Menu with Prices – 6441 Yadkin Rd #2166, Fayetteville

I’ll start off with saying I spent a year and a half in Korea eating out almost every day and always trying somewhere new.. so with that said my expectation might be higher because I’ve been searching for that same taste I enjoyed while in Korea. I think I’ve been here twice but I can’t remember the first time and it felt like I had been there before which automatically made me want to leave.. the staff was nice I can say that but my issue comes from the disconnect between food and cost… I spent $40 that day and what I got was Samgyeopsal-gui , and a bowl of ramen… This entailed about 8 small blan pieces of grilled pork belly a bowl of over cooked rice that had a weird taste (I love almost all kinds of rice) a bowl of ramen which was under cooked and poorly flavored.. (anything noodles are my favorite) there was Romain for the grilled pork belly but it was poorly prepared. It was just 5 pieces of extremely long leafs that looked like they were just ripped off and neatly stacked on a plate. The traditional way of eating the grilled pork belly is the leaf with one or two pieces of meat some rice and kimchi and pretty much whatever on the table that you would like to add put on top of this palm sized leaf. The leaf I got from here was so large in comparison that using 1 piece of meat some rice kimchi and sprouts I used two leafs that I had to tear apart multiple times and couldn’t even use half of the leaf. And the bowl of ramen wasn’t a lot at all like one bag of the Nissan ramen at Walmart you get for 50 cents, no it wasn’t those noodles they tasted like they had potential they were just handled with out care to how much they charge customers for the disappointment.. Now compare that to when I was in Korea, I would have spent $10 for all you can eat grilled pork belly that I cook, and a bowl of ramen at that size cooked wonderfully would have been about 4 bucks maybe cheaper depending on where I went. Who ever owns this store, I’m sorry for the bad review, please get back to the roots of taking pride in what you are selling.. when I was in Korea I got a huge bowl of Jjajangmyeon for 8 bucks by a man who spent $20,000 at a school just to learn the art behind the dish. Literally it was only for that dish now he runs a Jjajangmyeon shop. It was the best I’ve ever had

P&P Thai Food – Menu with Prices – 1940 N 30th Rd #130, Hollywood

Dumplings! Sign me up! As I was walking around the Yellow Green Farmers Market recently I came across a menu sign with dumplings listed at the top. Of course I paused to investigate. I had to look around for the name but found it behind the menu sign, P & P Thai. Their space was a nice size with some counter space & about six stools. The prep/cooking area was clean/organized. Their customers were enjoying (good looking & smelling) the food & the prices were inexpensive, so my husband and I decided to try them. We received quick and polite service as soon as we sat down. We ordered the shrimp dumplings (steamed only) at four pieces for $5. However since they have a $10 minimum credit card charge we decided to try their pork dumplings as well. The pork dumplings were good but the shrimp dumplings were something special. They were plump with a delicious filling in a light but flavorful Asian style sauce. Wow so good! Their menu is small with only about a handful of items but based on their dumplings I look forward to trying their other menu items. And having a few dozen more of those shrimp dumplings ?

Olympic Noodle – Menu with Prices – 4008 W Olympic Blvd, Los Angeles

Specialty: Dak kal gook soo (sliced noodle soup with chicken) I first learned about Olympic Noodle from one of Jonathan Gold’s articles (https://www.laweekly.com/jonathan-golds-60-korean-dishes-every-angeleno-should-know/) and I never had a chance to visit here because the restaurant always closes on Sunday. Few weeks ago I was about to drive back home from The Original Farmers Market and I stopped by Koreatown for a quick dinner. There’s a parking lot behind the restaurant, but one of the cars blocked the parking entrance so I ultimately just parked on the street. Service was pretty average and each table was served with pickled daikon and a giant stone pot of kimchi. I am a big fan of their sweet and savory kimchi and their pickled daikon was pretty good too (not super vinegary). Menu: There are 12 different noodle options, but their signature item is #1 Korean chicken noodle soup. I also ordered steamed dumplings because it was one of the Yelp’s highlights. *** #1 Korean Chicken Noodle Soup ($12.80): Noodle had somewhat of a firm texture and chicken pieces were not super tender, but broth was very savory and portion was generous! #27 Steamed Dumplings (12 pieces – $10.99): Dumplings were not super juicy, but each dumpling was jammed pack with pork and chives fillings and flavors were on the point. *** I still think chicken noodle soup from Hangari Bajirak Kalguksu is a bit better, but I would totally visit Olympic Noodle for the following reasons: (1) no waiting line, (2) easy parking, (3) yummy kimchi, and (3) solid noodle soup & dumplings with generous portion sizes.

Spicy Bites Menu with Prices 1220 S Cooper St, Arlington

Came across a YouTube video for pav bhaji so I looked it up in my area and came across spicy bites. I love spicy food so I asked the dude if he good make an extra a spicy pav bhaji, I was curious to try Indian pizza as well and then I also put in an order of chicken momos which I took alllll to go. Pav bhaji – first time I’ve ever had it and I think it’s delicious. I have nothing to compare it to so I have no idea how it’s supposed to taste. The only thing is I requested it to be spicy and it was not spicy at all Indian pizza – it was good. It’s more like a crepe folded with cheese and onions and stuff but again nothing to compare it to. Chicken momo – they were pretty good. I’ve had better from actually Nepalese people. Maybe next time I’ll dine in because I had to drive 20 mins home so the food wasn’t as fresh.

EM Deli Catering – Menu with Prices – 6119 La Salle Ave, Oakland

I’m so happy that I no longer need to drive across town to KP Market! They have all your basics available. Especially the thinly sliced meats to have KBBQ at home. They put out meat daily. But, the selections do get smaller as the day goes by. So, best beat to get your pork belly or brisket is once they open. The meat I get from here produces less oils than those at KP market. So I guess it’s higher quality meat. I just know that it melts in your mouth once you pull it off the grill pan and dip it in some ponzu sauce. They even have the canisters for your home grill… They have hot meals for lunch. I got a beef bento box to take to my daughter at school. And I got a bowl of japchae and the kimchi fried rice. The lady behind the counter asked how many Kimchi I wanted and I told her I just needed two. And she asked how many miso soups. Again, just two. Both sides were complimentary with the hot meals. The japchae and kimchi fried rice bowls are big enough to be shared. But, I love my noodles! The kimchi fried rice was really spicy. But their kimchi as a side usually only has a little kick. The fried rice was topped with a fried egg. I was kind of sad because I like my fried egg yolk a little runny. Overall… I love that there is a bit more diversity in Montclair District! I love that the workers are super friendly! I love that this place saves me miles and gas ?

Mama?s Kitchen (Korean food) Menu with Prices 12672 SE 38th St, Bellevue

Went here with a friend for dinner. There actually isn’t that much Korean food in Bellevue, so I was really curious and excited to check this place out! Before coming here, I took a look at some photos of the food here, and I thought the portions were kind of small, but I guess those photos were a bit misleading??? Because the portions were all pretty generous! The kimbap was definitely the best dish we got. These rolls are BIG. Like, they take more than one bite to eat. But they are so delicious! My friend made a good point that you could taste the flavor of every ingredient they put in the kimbap, which looking back, is completely true. There’s the sweetness of the carrot and pickled radish, a bit of savory from the egg and beef, and it’s all rounded out by the sesame oil finish glazed on the rolls. It’s a very fresh and incredibly addicting bite! It also came with a side of radish kimchi. Maybe I just haven’t had good kimchi in a while (Korean restaurants in UW don’t have good kimchi), but I really liked this kimchi. The radish was super crunchy and had a great balance of sweet and pungent from the fermentation process. The kimbap itself could make for a full meal, and is a dish that I’ll be thinking a lot about. We also got a combo of soondubu (tofu soup) and spicy pork over rice. While I still enjoyed the kimbap more, both were still really good. The soondubu had a deeper flavor than other tofu soups I’ve had, with the flavor of the seafood in the soup really blending with the broth. Really happy with this soup, and they were really generous with the seafood ? My one complaint is that we ordered extra spicy, and both of us didn’t think it was spicy at all! Maybe it’s more a testament to our spice tolerance levels, but I still feel like this place doesn’t really go that hard with the spice. The spicy pork over rice also had the same issue with spice. It really could’ve been spicier, but the porky flavor mixed with the sweet chili sauce still made it really enjoyable. The most surprising part, however, were the bean sprouts on top. I don’t really like bean sprouts, but these were delicious! It was just a simple cook with sesame oil and salt, I think, but that was enough for me to be hooked. There was also almost too much rice for the pork we got, but I’m not complaining, rice is great ? I don’t usually talk about service, but the people that work here are just so nice! They’re very smiley and friendly and made the whole experience all the better. The prices may seem a bit steep, and that is a bit of qualm that I have with this place! Even so, I would definitely come back to try other dishes they have to offer (and that kimbap!), just amp up the spice and I’ll be super happy!

Big Bowl Korean BBQ. – Menu with Prices – 6410 Weber Rd #19, Corpus Christi

I have to admit that I didn’t expect much from this Korean joint in a beach town. It’s located in a nondescript strip mall, but even you walk in the owner is friendly and helpful. Both kids ordered the dom katsu, which comes with rice and two sides (cabbage kimchi and cabbage salad). I ordered the kalbi and hubby ordered the spicy pork. We both dediced to go with two orders of cabbage kimchi. The food was all pretty good. The kalbi wasn’t as flavorful or smoky as I’m used to and hubby thought to l the spicy pork was spicy enough (I preferred his over mine). Three cabbage kimchi threw me for a loop in that it tasted more like regular green cabbage and not like it was made with napa. I do recommend it if you live in town, though the sideboards near the floor could use a good scrubbing.

Empire Chinese Kitchen – Menu with Prices – 575 Congress St, Portland

Let’s get the bad out of the way: I myself do NOT like the Shu Mai dumplings. I don’t know what else to say other than both the taste and texture are gross to me. Now that we’ve gotten that out of the way, let’s go on to the great: the servers! Boy howdy, these folks hustle and they are very friendly, ready with recommendations, and pay attention to you at just the right level. As the food comes out, the bring it so you get it fresh–that does mean some folks might not have food at the same time to start eating, but if you know it going in, it’s not an issue. Things I l-o-v-e at Empire include the ORANGE BEEF. It’s a starter that can be a whole meal for just one person. It’s tangy, lightly spicy, and full of flavor. Your tongue will be tickled with joy eating it. I also recommend the Shanghai soup dumplings, spicy pork belly buns, and Singapore rice noodles. Truly, it’s a little pricey compared to plain old Chinese take out. Then again, the superior quality of the food and service are what you are paying for–and it’s worth it.
