Kimura in the East Village, New York π
π 31 St Marks Pl, New York, NY 10003 πI recently visited Kimura, a hidden gem in the East Village, and tried their Beef Intestine Hot Pot and Pig's Trotter Hot Pot. The moment the first spoonful hit my taste buds, I was blown away! π πThe first bite of both hot pots was incredibly satisfying. Itβs that feeling of the fat bursting in your mouth, releasing a wave of rich, savory flavors. The aroma was so inviting, and the initial taste was pure bliss. The textures were unique and delightful, with the beef intestine being tender and the pig's trotter having a delightful chewiness. πΈ However, as the meal progressed, both dishes started to feel a bit heavy. By the end, there was a noticeable layer of oil floating on the surface, which made the experience a bit greasy. π Despite this, the cabbage and chives inside the hot pot were still quite enjoyable, adding a fresh and crunchy contrast to the richness. π Overall, I think Kimura is definitely worth a visit if youβre in the area and looking for something different. The flavors are bold and unique, and the hot pots are a fun way to experience Korean cuisine. π’ But considering the greasiness towards the end, Iβm not sure Iβd come back for a second visit. There are just so many other amazing food options in New York! #NewYork π
