Subway Series Monday! What subway today? TONS OF SUBWAYS! Basically, get on the subway to Herald Square (N,Q,R,W,B,D,F,V) and walk to 32nd street. Just two blocks from 34th street. Koreatown runs from 31st to 36th, between 5th and 6th. I went to 32nd street, between 5th and 6th, and had my choice of Korean restaurants!
My destination - Seoul Garden. Walk upstairs into a big restaurant with decor that is...well...nothing to blog about. But you don't go for the decor. You go to eat. Alot. Now a lot of these places in K-Town do barbeque, and you sit in front of the grill and cook your food. I was just going to try the non-bbq eats.
We got dumplings to start, which were great, but unnecessary. Our entrees were so big, that we didn't need the dumplings. Then they bring out all of these little bowls.
Look at how many bowls there are! Broccoli, noodles, sauce, all sorts of things! Luckily, I was with a K-Town expert. Literally, when these bowls came out, I thought, um....what the hell do I do with these bowls? I was so confused! So my boyfriend ordered a hot dish that came with ribs. The ribs were excellent. I got the Tofu Doslot Bibim Bob. Look at it on the left. You get this hot bowl of food with vegetables and tofu. It is REALLY HOT. Then you add all of the little side dish items into the bowl. You actually even crack and egg into the bowl and stir it in. It is so hot that the egg cooks.

But, once I started eating it, I really enjoyed it. I really enjoyed how big the dish was, which meant it took a pretty long time to eat. I love meals that take forever. It is nice to enjoy the food, take my time, and enjoy the company I am with. And I could not even finish it!
All in all, if you want to eat a lot of great korean food, hang out with a group of friends, and linger of an abundance of food, K-Town is the place for you. And when it is cold and you just want to get off the subway and enjoy a meal, you have your pick of places in K-Town! For $40 for two, it was not a bad deal. And take out the dumplings, and this meal would have been under $30.
Have a delicious day!
