Jang Choong Dong Wang Jok Bal

It seems as if most great ethnic resturants are in strip malls, and this Korean one is no exception. It is near a H-Mart that is soon coming(awesome because who really needs to go to tigard?).

Inside of the place is dark and seems is if it should be smokey with korean business men smoking and drinking tons of soju and Hite beer(which has a similar taste to most american light lagers but seems somehow to fit with the food)

We got started with some awesome Banchan which includes my favorite kimchi in this state. Which I complimented the woman server who got excited by my compliment and told em a few "secrets" about how she made it.


I also have an obsession with Ddukbokki(Spicy rice cakes) I love the clean taste of the chili and the texture of them which is strangely enough gummy and chewy in a really pleasing way.


I tried the pork bulogi too this time and it was really tender and not as spicy as the woman warned me about. But damn this might take a place in my rotation of korean meats. The sauce seemed to bring out the inherent sweet porky goodness. Caramelizing on the edges and bringing a nice crunch to it.


The seafood pancake came out next which was fairly light in seafood, but that was a good thing considering my favorite part was the crispy batter that encased the almost custardy insides. The dipping sauce that accompanied was mostly soy sauce with some vinegar I believe that made it all come together like a fine rug in a room.
