NYC’s Bib Gourmand Korean Gem: Fun, Affordable & Free Shots! 🍶
📍 C as in Charlie 5 Bleecker St, New York, NY This Bib Gourmand-winning Korean fusion spot nails izakaya vibes—lively, shareable, and free sake shots included! Here’s the dish breakdown: 🍣 Salmon Hwe ⭐⭐⭐ Raw salmon + celery + spicy wasabi mayo (too strong for wasabi-haters). Interesting, not our fave. 🍗 Popcorn Chicken ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sweet-spicy Korean fried chicken—crispy outside, juicy inside. Huge portion for the price! 🍝 Oxbone Cream Pasta ⭐⭐⭐ Expected richness, got mild cream sauce instead. Meh meatcrumbs + scallions = skip. 🍤 Toast Roll ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ MVP alert! Whole shrimp paste inside, explodes with sauce. Order two. 🥩 Seoul’sbury Steak ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Not steak—Korean hamburger meat in black pepper-sweet glaze (tastes like IKEA meatballs 😍). Sticky rice base > mashed potatoes. 🧊 $0.99 Sweet Tea + Sake Hack Super sweet tea (brace yourself) + free shot = unexpectedly delicious. Try it! 📓 Post-Meal Fun: Servers hand out a notebook with wild prompts like “Worst breakup story?” Spill tea with friends 🍉. #NYCEats #BibGourmand #KoreanFusion #NYUArea #BudgetFriendly #FoodieAdventure
