Miss Korea - 10 West 32nd Street, NYC

Miss Korea is barbeque heaven.  I ordered the Marinated Clay Pot Kalbi and the Marinated De-boned Short Rib.  If you grill the meat right, it comes out absolutely tender with tons of flavor.  When you order the meat, it comes with a small corn on the cob, onions and sweet potatoes.  Since when is corn on the cob part of the Korean meal?  Did a farmer give it to them because he had too much?  The other crazy thing was that it was a small section of a full corn.  It was a really fat baby corn!  I also got the Nakji Bokkeum, which is supposed to be a very spicy octopus and a thick, slippery noodle.  If you slurp the noodle, it comes straight up into your mouth!  Another thing my mom ordered was the Sundubu Jjigae which is an organic tofu stew.  I didn't have any because it was literally bubbling a lava pit about to burst.  It was a satisfying meal, with great service.  Now for the negatives.  They gave us a dish with two pieces of lettuce to make wraps, except there were 5 of us.  Where's the rest of the lettuce?  The meat had a little too much fat in it, and the octopus was not as spicy as expected.  Most Korean BBQ are smoky, but this one was crazy!  Overall, out of 5 pineapples, I give it a 3. -Until next time- TDG
