Meat-to-noodle ratio >> others. 3️⃣ Sizzling Bulgogi 🥩 • Thick-cut beef with cabbage, carrots, and onions—like Korean fajitas. 4️⃣ Soft Tofu Soup 🍲 • Silky tofu chunks and beef bits so big they’re almost steak. 5️⃣ Snow Beef Soup ❄️ • Clean, milky broth with tender slices of beef—ideal for light eaters. 💡 Honest Notes ✅ Best for: Family-style sharing (portions = 2-3 meals). ✅ Skip if: You crave modern fusion (this is classic Korean soul food). ✅ Parking: Street spots available (no plaza chaos). “Why drive 40 mins when this exists?
