DMV Food Round 2 | Ktownโs Surprisingly Delicious Ginseng Chicken Soup
๐ฐ Average cost: 50๐ช (We pigged out, three people spent 150๐ช, normally it wouldnโt be this much ๐) ๐ This is a small restaurant with limited space and lots of people; I was eating back-to-back with the guy behind me ๐ I know Korean food comes with many side dishes, but this is just too many, nearly ten! ๐คฃ ๐ Boiled Pork Belly Bossam This must be the signature dish of the place ๐๐ป Pork belly + special Ajumma sauce + baby kimchi + spicy radish kimchi + green peppers + garlic slices, pure satisfaction. The spicy radish strips are super crispy and thereโs a generous portion; we finished a little over half with three people. The pork belly has a nice balance of fat and lean, and some pig bristles on the skin, but no one cares, just scrape off the top layer. ๐ Samgye-Tang Every Korean restaurant has its own version of ginseng chicken soup, but this one deserves a mention. It comes out as a pure, white chicken broth; you can taste the original flavor, very fresh and light. Thereโs pepper salt on the side, add to taste; I added half a spoonful, and it was soul-warming. ๐ The glutinous rice inside is also very flavorful; I drank more than half a bowl by myself, felt very nourished, the chicken meat was overshadowed ๐ Definitely ordering this again next time. ๐ Bulgogi For meat lovers, this is a must. Itโs sweet and savory, juicy and tender, delicious. Be careful, itโs hot! Donโt ask, I donโt know ๐ ๐ Haemul Pajeon - Seafood Pancake Do you love scallions? ๐ Scallion lovers, come on over! The scallion aroma is overwhelming, with big chunks of squid, very chewy. This is also one of their popular items. โ๏ธ ๐ Bibimbap Itโs good, no complaints, but after drinking so much chicken soup, I couldnโt eat rice, normally it should be nice ๐ โผ๏ธ The service here is not great; Iโve seen many bad reviews on Google. We were told that our 10% tip was too little and ended up giving 18% ๐ She kept saying things like, โYou ordered so much, drank so much water, how can you give so little?โ ๐ #DMVEatingAndDrinking #FoodExploration #FoodSharing #DMVFood #Food #MyFoodDiary #WhatToEatInDMV #DMVArea #FoodDiary #dmvfoodexploration #WashingtonDCFood #WashingtonDC #VAFood #WashingtonDCEatingAndDrinking #WashingtonDCTrip #WashingtonDCExploring
