Ziggle Ziggle korea — Restaurant in Houston

Best Kimchi Jjigae (stew #25)!! 🤤

We've tried a bunch of other dishes here (soups/stews, rice or noodle based) but always go back to their Kimchi Jjigae. We've also tried all the other mom&pop shops/food stalls Kimchi Jjigaes & they are not as rich & flavorful as Ziggles..

It's a 30min drive from our house but we come at least once a month sometimes weekly. I usually get 1 or 2 Kimchi Jjigaes to go as well - they freeze & defrost very well.

Once you're done put all your things on your tray & put the tray on the cart at the restaurant you...

My daughter frequents this Asian grocery store - with cool food court with all kinds of cool places the eat like Ziggle Ziggle. My wife and shared the noodle rice chicken bowl and my daughter had the hot tofu - egg soup bowl. Both came with awesome sides, kimchi, seaweed and Miso. We are looking forward to returning soon. We picked up some tea and soup packets we have never seen before on the way out.

Do yourself a favor and do something different (even alone which is often difficult) try this place!

By the way ..... you order, then find a table and when done return you tray to the placed you...

"Ziggle Ziggle" (meaning "sizzle sizzle" in Korean) at the Blalock H-Mart is a great choice for those seeking quality Korean food at an affordable price. I ordered hot stone bulgogi bibimbap and it exceeded my expectations (I especially liked the "Nurungji" part or the crust of overcooked rice). While the side dishes and soup were not particularly exciting, they were acceptable given the price point. The staff was very friendly. I would come back to explore...
