Santa ClaraKorean cuisine BBQ--Mapo BBQ
๐Restaurant Name: Mapo BBQ Pork Spine Soup with Potatoes ๐๐๐๐๐ $54.99 It's exactly like what I saw in a Korean blogger's post, with a thick layer of perilla powder on top. The serving is huge, and the spine itself is massive. The spine is stewed until it's very tender, and the meat falls off the bone easily. The most important thing is that the soup is really delicious. It's not the very thick type, so you won't feel overwhelmed after drinking it. The broth has a sufficient flavor, and it's perfect for soaking in rice. My friend and I both love it๏ฝ Seafood Stone Pot Mixed Rice ๐๐๐๐๐ $23.99 I've only had the seafood flavor of stone pot mixed rice in the Bay Area, and then I haven't had any other flavors๏ฝThe combination of seafood with Korean chili sauce and rice is irresistible. Pork Belly with Kimchi ๐๐๐๐ $35.99 My friend's favorite dish. The slices of pork belly here are a bit thick, but the kimchi is tasty. Combined with tofu, it's a very rich-textured dish. We went there on a Sunday noon, and there were quite a few people inside. After sitting down, we found that most of the customers were Korean, which made us feel that we wouldn't be disappointed. The dishes that came up indeed did not let us down๏ฝMoreover, the side dishes here are really delicious. ๐3395 El Camino Real, Santa Clara, CA 95051 #Santa Clara#Mapo BBQ#Korean cuisine#food diary
