"If you've got any friends who are knitters, you might want to ask them to bring a crochet hook." think about that.

By the way, budae jjigae's not a "sizzle platter". It's a stew that's filled with everything but the kitchen sink, including spam, ramen noodles, and other random stuff. It looks like they gave you "chop steak", as Koreans refer to the dish of stir-fried beef, onions, and peppers, but gussied it up with random s*it like the hot dog slices. Jjigae means "stew" in Korean. So even if you ordered buday jjigae, that's not what you got.

The food sucks at this place. It's a place to drink more than anything else, and they have the same 2 or 3 types of soju and beer as at any other Korean restaurant or bar. Pretty lame. And if you want to be ignored by the non-english speaking staff here, by all means check it out. Suffice to say I didnt really care for it. Crowded, noisy, and not really comfortable for me and my group.

The stuff with the Russian dressing looks dreadful. But otherwise I want to dig in. I hope they don't mind my bad table manners.
