Eat all you can Korean bbq: Sodeulnyuk

Sodulnyuk (Suwanee)

This is one of the best Korean BBQ deals in the city: $9.99 or $14.99 buys you all the bbq meat you care to eat. The $9.99 includes beef brisket and pork belly; while $14.99 adds boneless galbi to the repertoire (good quality saeng galbi). Definitely get the $14.99 deal. By the way, this isn’t your typical ghetto buffet style all-you-can-eat type of thing. There are no sushi or Chinese food included. Just great tasting banchan and your bbq meats delivered to your table upon request.

The tofu soups are good, too. I love the silky tofu they use. Possibly the silkiest tofu in the city hands down. So, go and eat here now!

Get this biscuit: NOON Midtown

NOON Midtown

It’s called the The Stack: crispy, tender fried chicken fillet, thick slices of Benton’s bacon, gooey Tillamook cheddar, a fried egg, all slathered in a creamy sausage gravy, inside a fluffy, fresh-baked biscuit. Down that with an ice-cold bottle of Diet Coke and you have an amazing breakfast.

NOON Midtown

Or get this– Kobe Roast Beef: slices of tender Kobe roast beef, crispy-fried slivers of onions, horseradish sauce, all on a toasted French roll.

NOON Midtown

Round out your breakfast (or brunch) with a mimosa and a Sublime doughnut. Yeah.

Best 12-course Korean Meal: Stone Bowl House

Woo Nam Jeong

My best buddy Sean took me here knowing just how much I love Korean food. The meal was really good. And filling. There were 12 items. I ate finished all of them. My favorite was the Galbi Jjim (beef short ribs). It melted in my mouth. It was so good I had to have silence.

Go on an empty stomach. You’ll thank me later.

<3 Thanks again, buddy. And also for taking pictures. </end>

Best Peking Duck: Wong Kee

Wong Kee

I’m an avid Peking Duck eater. I’ve had it almost everywhere (name it and chances are, I’ve had it there). I love the Vietnamese version here at Wong Kee — the duck is so lean, there’s hardly any fat between the meat and the skin. Oh, and the skin– crispy, glossy, crispy. I love that there isn’t that Cantonese taste of five-spice powder (my mom and sister would so appreciate this). The meat is tender and has just the right amount of salt and spices. Pancakes (actually crepes) are the more traditional accompaniment but many places (including here) also use soft buns which I prefer. This is my current favorite. I could eat this everyday.

Wong Kee

But no, it doesn’t stop there. The House fried rice is amazing. It’s garlicky and smoky, with lots of stir-fried roast pork and clumps of egg. Delicious. Seriously. Go. Now.
