The first time I ate at a Korean restaurant was probably close to 2 years ago. I remember it was super cold outside and some of my friends and I decided to check out a Korean restaurant that seemed to have decent reviews online. Their menu had Korean food on one side and Chinese food on the other. I ended up ordering bulgogi and I really liked it. One of my friends also got bulgogi and my sister and my other friend got soup. I don't remember which soups they ordered but I did try them and they were a bit too spicy for me. The restaurant itself wasn't really anything spectacular. I can't really remember anything specific about it other than I remember it was rather busy because every time someone opened the door we could feel the freezing cold winter air come in from outside. I can't remember if we ate there once or twice but the restaurant ended up closing a couple months after we were there.
Lucky for us we found another Korean restaurant that we all enjoy a lot! It's called Yami Korean Cuisine and it's just this small little restaurant run by probably a handful of people. The menu is kind of small but the food they have on there is so good that you crave it enough that you don't mind getting the same thing over and over again. The main dishes that I order there are japchae, dolsot bibimbap, and bulgogi. They also have 4 options for appetizers and they are all delicious. The appetizers are dukbokki (spicy rice and fish cake), fried wontons, fried chicken with a sweet and sour sauce, and kimbap. The environment is really nice there. The decorations are really simple and the people that usually wait on us always make us feel really welcome and seem really happy that we are open to trying different food. It seems to get pretty good business which makes me really happy!

After it's stirred and has the bean paste in it-
There is one other Korean restaurant that I have yet to try. I'm pretty sure that it also has Chinese food. Some of the reviews online made it sound like it was more of a fast food type of deal where you order your food at a counter and some of the reviews also said that the menu was confusing or something. I might try it one of these days but for right now I'm pretty happy with Yami. I'm hoping that they will expand their menu one of these days. Either that or I should just learn how to make Korean dishes. Which is probably close to impossible at this time in my life because I have practically zero cooking experience and zero time. Haha!
If anyone has any Korean food recommendations or is watching Let's Eat Season 2, feel free to comment below! ^^
