Message: | I was at Yongsusan recently as well, and everything was excellent. Even my mom liked it and she's a rather harsh critic when it comes to Korean food. Probably the nicest Korean restaurant in terms of presentation, ambience & service, though I haven't been to Woo Lae Oak in B.H. The food preparation is delicate and expert and the results are quite tasty. I had the "chil chup ban sang" (rough translation: 7-dish table) for $19.95 which came with not only 7 main course size dishes but a myriad banchan. I loved their bulgogi, the egg custard and the "mook" (acorn jelly) with a slightly different presenation than what you normally get (cut into thin "noodles" instead of cubes).
Koreatown Plaza has some upscale clothing shops upstairs and the food court is pretty good, though the quality can vary from stall to stall. I frequent Gamja Bawi and the tofu place. Gamja Bawi has excellent Dol Sot Bibimbap and braised black cod in spicy sauce.
There is also a home appliance/knick knack store on one of the upper levels that carries Asian cook & service ware that's fun to check out.
A new addition to Koreatown is the Galleria (Olympic & Western) that has a nice market--nice produce and good selection. |
