korean food isn't half bad

I've never been a fan of Korean food (aside from kim chi). I had a narrow-minded view that it was all about sweet bbq. When my cousin and his family came to visit around the holidays, they were adamant on having Korean. They believe Korean food is better in Dallas than Houston. That's a new one... if you're Asian and you live/ been in Dallas or Houston, you know that Houston far surpasses Dallas in good Asian food.

Anyways, we went out one day for lunch to a Korean cold noodle house on Harry Hines. I wish I could remember the name but it leaves me at the moment. I'll have to call my cousin or wait for their next visit. Because, I know we'll be stopping by there again.

It seemed like a several course meal. Food was coming at us one plate at a time. It all started with potato pancake thing... very YUMMY. I enjoyed it a lot. Then, we had dumplings. They were pretty good, too. Next was some bbq beef with all kinds of condiments to compliment it. I never knew I liked tofu skin. I didn't know tofu had skin. You see that small bowl of bean sprouts? It was pickled in something that I will just say- GROSS. Finally, we had some cold noodles. I don't know what I think of it. It was definitely interesting. It was definitely pretty to look at. I just don't know if I like cold noodles. Final verdict, I like Korean food.

Ohh wow that last cold noodle dish sure looks hardcore, even as a Korean I'd be scared of eating that! glad you like the food though ;) heh

It was definitely different. Do you have recommendations for future dishes for when I go back to that restaurant?
