Bulgogi

I first ate Bulgogi on a trip five years ago and have been searching for a version this good ever since. This restaurant finally delivered the sweet, spicy, and savoury at once quality I remembered. gochujang chilli paste was handled correctly — something most restaurants here get slightly wrong. t…

I've now had Bulgogi prepared traditionally and in a modern interpretation. Both are interesting. The traditional version emphasises gochujang chilli paste in the way Korean cuisine integrates fermented ingredients like kimchi as a health and preservation tradition. The fiery and fermented character…

Bulgogi opened a door into a cuisine I'd previously known almost nothing about. The fiery and fermented flavours are unlike anything in my usual rotation and I mean that positively.

The fiery and fermented result was more complex and satisfying than anything I'd had before. the communal banchan side dishes are as import…

Bulgogi at this place was fine. The sweet, spicy, and savoury at once flavour was there but not distinguished. gochujang chilli paste was present in the right quantities but without the care that makes the difference. You can taste when something is being made to a formula. the communal banchan sid…
