SEOUL SALON
Young place with a focus on drinking food (it’s a “sool jib”), but the food is better than that implies, just that they have an extensive range of Korean drink options
They start you out with crunchy ramen chunks with ssam sauce and scallions.
Cuttlefish “sukhwe” was a platter of cold, boiled cuttlefish cut into neat strips, with ssam sauce and gim for wrapping — really tasty.
MaLa pork sliders were a version of pork bao in milk bread slider buns, very tasty, served with a balancing side of pickled daikon, and a critical wet nap.
Fried chicken came unsauced and sauced, perfectly crisp batter on the outside and moist and flavorful dark meat chicken on the inside. More radish, more ssam sauce.
And the final dish was way bigger than we had expected despite consulting with the server, and also delicious and spicy as promised — no holds barred: spicy beef ramyun soup. In addition to plentiful thin slices of brisket, there were slices of potato, fernbrake, seaweed, and more. Really tasty.
Lots more I want to go back to sample.
