A little hidden gem :) ... very small place, but serves excellent Samgyetang (Korean Ginseng Chicken Soup).

We came here exclusively for the Samgyetang. Menu was very small with 1 page of items. There was 4 kinds of ginseng soup. BF ordered "Black Garlic" ... and I want to order something I haven't tired, so end up with "Perilla Seeds". Not knowing exactly what Perilla Seeds are, the waitress told me its like sesame.

We were served with 3 banchans:
Kimchi - excellent, very flavorful
Radish - love it too
Nabak kimchi (not sure if that's the right name) - ok for me

Our soup was served pipping hot! And we love it that way. Chicken was very tender, sticky rice was well cooked. The Perilla Seeds has a indescribable taste, its not bad though. It made my soup a little too thick to my liking. BF's Black Garlic was excellent ... I ate a black garlic, its very good , not overpowering.

Just 2 soups made us really full. Overall, It was a great meal. The only thing missing was ... the Ginseng wine ... that would make me super duper happy.

Total was around 43.00 (excluding tips) ... thanks again BF :)
