Shiku - Grand Central Market / DTLA

shiku x naemo korean bang bang

went opening day and didn’t experience the delays others did, only had to wait a few minutes for my 3pm preorder. maybe they were starting to catch up after turning off their online ordering.

and unless you want to piss off the cars behind you, ignore the curbside pickup instructions that say to park in front of the broadway entrance. with the outside seating area taking up all the parking spots there’s no where to pullover. park on hill st instead.

agree with @rlw and @raihan, the myulchi saewoo bokkeum with walnut is cravable and perfect with a bowl of rice. it is sticky, sweet, savory, and crunchy. the addition of baby dried shrimp take it to a

the jinmichae bokkeum with toasted peanut is also very good, a bit spicy and creamy with a pleasant chew.

the kfc wasn’t quite what I was expecting. I thought they would be triple fried wings but was more like popcorn chicken. I should have read the description more carefully.

korean fried pyogo mushrooms
the deep fried shiitake mushrooms were pretty good, crunchy on the outside and a bit soft and chewy on the inside.

gamchil french fries

shiku combo
satisfying and tasty. kalbi was the highlight.

also got some korean snacks and drinks for later.
