I could easily polish off three orders of gyoza and I'm going back there often.

Bento box style preparations of bibimbap, scallion pancakes, and bibim nangmyun(!). I chose the noodles (bibim nangmyun), my first official korean summer dish! okay, i was excited about it until i tasted. it's okay, and by okay, i mean fair. not terribly spicy, noodles are a little overdone. and for close to $10, hmmmm..... but then again, even bad korean tends to be a lot better than most other poorly prepared foods. looked for it, but it’s called something totally different now. ended up going next door to Pro Korean.

I agree w/ the 1st poster(Scott) that the 55th st place is better; more flavor and ingredients in their ramens. The Appetizers (Gyoza/Shu Mai) were very good though at $4/each and the beer is actually not too expensive for midtown (3.50). If only Wagamama would make the journey down from Boston now that it's expanding into North America... well-priced, if you can withstand the wait, but the ramenss were only just a little above average.

For $7, either eat in or take out, they give you a ton of it and it's so good!! It's pork and shrimp fried rice. And the put pickled ginger on top which gives the whole thing a certain heat. I crave it and need to fight that need alomost daily, well M-F around noon. I second the comment about the fried rice. For $7, either eat in or take out, they give you a ton of it and it’s so good!!
