Not sure just what though, didn't find a menu online and the stuff on Yelp mostly talks about the drinks (I will be having soju, though probably not from a watermelon!). A friend mentions intestines in spicy sauce, I might go for it but not a big fan, I usually don't go further South with offal than tripe. Tue Nov 03 14:28:03 -0800 2009 25417 Zatan 1 5209566 Finally managed to hit this place up last night - it gets pretty crowded later in the evening (starting around 8 or 9), but we happened to nearby around dinner time, so decided to try out both the dinner side of the menu and their anju (drinking snacks-- not really street food, more like bar food). The dinner menu is a little too diverse to be promising in all categories, but it leans towards noodles and stews. What we had was alright- the side dishes were boring but fresh, and we had some completely serviceable bibibimbap, and al tang (cod roe soup) The latter was huge and quite generous with roe, for the price... They do have a variety of other soups and stews that bear investigation another time, including haejang guk (hangover soup- with ox blood and usually various bones or some blood sausage), dwenjang jjigae (fermented soybean stew), and budae jjigae (stew of various things, usually including blood sausage and spam). They have sundubu jjigae, too (soft tofu), but I generally avoid that at places that offer anything other than sundubu jjigae, since in spite of its simplicity, it seems to require special attention to get the balance right. The better an more unique (to Boston) dishes were their drinking foods, though! We got some tasty dubu kimchi- tofu slices with stir fried kimchi and pork to put on them. It was a little unusual in that the tofu was a little more in blocks than usual, and they included some ddeok (rice cakes) in with the stir fried kimchi. It wasn't very spicy, but the sauce was tasty with the right balance of sweetness. And, the most exciting find of the evening was golbaengi (umm, sea snails? not sure what the right mollusk is), which I haven't seen elsewhere in Boston. They also have a variety of ddeokbokki and rabokki (spicy rice cakes, with and without ramyeon), including one with cheese, which is a combination that I'm a sucker for. And I noticed on the board only after we'd already ordered more than we could eat that they had a corn&cheese special sounded good with soju. We didn't go for the watermelon soju :) Their yogurt soju, however, was completely to spec, and not too bad a deal for a pitcher, by Boston pricing. The atmosphere was also fun (young, pop), especially once things started picking up. We'll be back, though we'll probably stick to the bar foods and specials from now on.
