When we went to the HJP in Buena Park they came out with the super stinky bean paste stew as service. It’s a funkier version of doen jjang jigae called cheongguk jjang. I think it’s on the menu. We like it.
If you ask my mom she will tell you that she makes the best dongchimi. The popular choice in ktown is probably gilmok. The corner place.
I want to try that fermented bean stew!
I have Olympic Cheonggukjang on my to do list.
X 2 on Corner Place, never been but have always heard about the dongchimi
Think I prefer the cheonggukjang at Ham Ji Park than the one at Olympic Cheonggukjang.
Does anyone have a rec for bindaeddeok, the mung bean pancakes? I’m visiting a friend in LA soon and she’s salivating watching the Seoul episode of Street Food and wants some. I tried searching under various different spellings but didn’t really find anything. Most restaurant versions I’ve had in the states are too dry and crumbly.
What’s guk gae jang? going very soon… hurry hehe
Western Doma was a good time. Very solid . Good vibes there and food
Dumplings
Chicken Potato stew
Galbi soup
But the menu is very big and they don’t appear to be a specialist in specific dishes
Yukgaejang? Spicy Korean soup with radish, meat, green onions, bean sprouts and some other stuff.
