ALIRANG

Great korean food, fast service, nice staff.

Last night it was rainy and my partner and I wanted comfort food. The restaurant wasn't as busy as usual, and we got a 4-top in the little front room to ourselves. We ordered some of the usuals -- some topokki to start, chicken soondubu, beef bulgogi, and chicken bokum. It was more food than 2 people could possibly eat, and it was glorious. It satisfied us in the way that only complex, warm, spicy food can.We put the leftovers into containers and then scraped the edges of the cast iron dishes they were served on to get the caramelized bits of flavour bombs that hide there. Now I'm eating it again for lunch, and the complex flavours and tender meats managed to survive even the microwave. It's all still delicious, made even better by the tub of kimchi I brought home to keep topping off leftovers and maybe some ramen later.If you like spicy delicious food, you should go here.
