Richmond Hidden Gem | This Korean Bistro Surprised Us! 🇰🇷

📍 Elysium Korean Bistro and Restaurant 8400 Alexandra Rd #100, Richmond (Former Hanwoo location) 💰 Price: • Vibe: Cozy, modern 🍽️ What We Ordered ✅ Sizzling Bulgogi – ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Buttery, caramelized beef on a hot plate—smells INSANE when it hits the table. Perfectly sweet-savory marinade. ✅ Budae Jjigae – ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Classic Korean army stew with spam, sausages, ramen, and cheese. Flavor was great but took forever to boil (patience required!). ✅ Kimchi Pancake – ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Crispy edges, tangy kimchi—ideal with soju. ✅ Spicy Tteokbokki – ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Chewy rice cakes in fiery-sweet sauce. Pro tip: Ask for extra cheese! 💡 Why It’s Worth It ✔ Zero misses—every dish delivered. ✔ Hot plates are the stars (order anything sizzling!). ✔ Affordable for the quality. ⚠️ Heads-up: • Weekend crowds—come early. • Service can lag when busy. #RichmondEats #KoreanFood #HiddenGems #FoodieFinds #MustTry
