Thanks, Maria Tue Jan 13 00:57:22 -0800 2009 27475 maria franzese 1 4324120 I don’t have a favorite Korean restaurant in Lakewood, yet. Your best bet would be to check out the Korean places along South Tacoma Way. At Paldo World Korean grocery there is a food court inside with Chicky Pub and other Korean food. Outside there’s also a Tofu restaurant and the excellent (although not Korean) Tacoma Szechuan under the sign that confusingly says “Yo Smoothie!” I’ve eaten at Palace BBQ, which was ok but nothing special. It was rather late (9:30 pm in Lakewood!) and there was a Korean soap opera on the TV. Honey Pig was ok, too. They had some strange things, like rice wrappers for the in-table grilled meats that seemed almost more Viet than Korean. The rice cake soup with mandu (dumplings) was probably the favorite dish at our table. Near Than Brothers Pho is a blue roofed Korean place whose name I don’t remember but it was also ok. I think I’m a little spoiled since I lived near Annandale, VA, a very vibrant Korean community with excellent Korean restaurants, some of which were open 24/7. I’m still searching for Korean restaurants to love and in the meantime keep trying what’s available here.

Did they look like this? http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/H0eQSsPSEyh8--KaU3x3Dw?select=ozmRTHSXumcXUqT7DwqpXg If so, YAY!! It's called dduk bo ssam and I've been looking for a place in Washington that serves it ever since I tried it down in Orange County, CA...

And the family is really sweet - they might be happy to make you up something "off menu" Sun Apr 19 12:15:56 -0700 2009 4321053 241676 yurisagawa 1 4664018 If you're looking for the korean noodles in brown sauce, they're called jajangmyun and often found at korean-owned chinese restaurants. My favorite place for jajangmyun is actually in Lakewood at a divey chinese restaurant called Royal Box. Ridiculously cheap, $5 gets you a big bowl of tasty noodles. They used to do hand-pulled noodles, but it became too labor intensive. The noodles still have a wonderful texture. Also try their jampong (spicy seafood noodle soup) and their gan pung ki (spicy mandarin fried chicken wings).
