This is a spicy Korean noodle soup. The color of the soup should tell you that it’s spicy; it’s bright red. Most people will choose not to eat this, but if you do, the taste is standard fare. The soup is refreshing, but somewhat salty. The shredded beef they use is too tough and sinewy. The green onions are supposed to be chopped coarsely, but I didn’t particularly like it. Overall, the soup is perfect for sobering up.

I’ve tasted quite a bit of tonkatsu before. This is not the best tonkatsu, but it works because you can get it at 3AM. A lot is given, but the breading is just par. For the price you can get much better elsewhere…at an earlier time of course.

If you’re in the mood for something substantive, this would be it. This is rice, topped with pickled vegetables, julienned carrots, spinach, lettuce, dried seaweed flakes, Korean BBQ, and a fried egg—all sizzling in your own stone pot. You can add the sweet red pepper sauce to taste (highly recommended). Again, I have tasted better, but this is probably the best and most impressive dish here.
