After watching some MLS soccer at Paypal Park we were looking for some late night food - Rice Junky https://www.ricejunky.com is a small local chain (are three restaurants already a chain ?) of Korean restaurants mainly focusing bowls and some appetizers (and have a K-Pop inspired ambience and an interesting motto - “eat like a CEO, pay like an intern”). Nothing earth-shattering but good, solid food

How’s the MLS compared to the Bundesliga excluding Bayern and Dortmund?

It is always fun to see live soccer and the support is actually getting better (but still far away what you get in a German stadium, even though there are now Ultra sections). I don’t think any team in the MLS would have a chance in the Bundesliga (or any of the European top leagues like England, Spain, Italy) and would be relegated. Nut compared what I have seen 5-10 years ago, MLS is definitely improving and on the right path
