Houston Exploration | Highly Recommended Authentic Korean Cuisine! 🔥

✨ YukDaeJang 육대장 Houston has hundreds of Korean restaurants, but this one is a must-visit! YukDaeJang is located in a small plaza near the Hmart supermarket. A Korean friend recommended it to me, and I can confirm that the flavors are absolutely authentic. Today, I came to try their two signature dishes: the General’s Beef Short Ribs Hot Pot and the Lettuce Wraps with Pork 🔥 ✨ General’s Beef Short Ribs Hot Pot (갈비찜) This dish is the absolute star of the restaurant! When the stone pot arrives at your table, it’s still bubbling, and the aroma is irresistible. The pot is filled with tender beef short ribs 🍖, along with pumpkin, potatoes, onions, carrots, and glass noodles. The portion is huge—definitely more than enough for two people. The beef is braised to perfection, soft and full of flavor, with just the right amount of fat. The tendons are chewy but not tough, and the broth has a perfect balance of saltiness and sweetness, making it ideal for eating with rice. You can also choose the level of spiciness; if you can handle it, a bit of heat makes the dish even more delicious and satisfying! ✨ Lettuce Wraps with Pork (보쌈) If the beef short ribs hot pot is the hearty option, the lettuce wraps are the refreshing counterpart. The pork belly is braised until it’s tender and not greasy at all. The slices are presented beautifully, and the dish comes with a special sauce, kimchi, raw garlic slices, and lettuce leaves. The overall taste is slightly sweet, which will feel very authentic to Korean food lovers. Wrapping everything together in a bite is incredibly satisfying. We ordered the small portion, but it was still quite substantial—one meal could easily serve as two! The side dishes are also quite good, including kimchi, spicy fish cakes, and pickled onions, all of which are essential for a Korean meal. The side dishes can be refilled for free. The staff are very friendly, helping with slicing the meat and introducing the dishes. They even provide the sauces thoughtfully. You can choose between white rice and purple rice; I recommend the purple rice for its richer aroma, chewiness, and health benefits! I’ve heard that their cold noodles are also great, and I definitely want to come back and try them.
