$7 Fancy Bibimbap Alert
This week is Korean Restaurant Week, which means a number of nice Korean restaurants in Midtown are offering bibimbap for just $7. (Or if you feel like splurging, a complete lunch for $15.) For a list of participating restaurants go to the official website. [via Serious Eats: New York]

Nonsense. Bimbimbap at Pro Deli is $9.50 and that’s a tiny deli. These are sitdown Korean restaurants.
Going to go to Korea Palace, the only place in Midtown East, tomorrow, I checked their online menu and normally their “DOLSOT BIBIM BOP” is $11.95. Choice of 1.Beef BBQ/ ë¶ˆê³ ê¸° 2. Chicken/ 치킨 3.Steamed tofu/ ë‘부 4.Shrimp/ 새우 5.Spicy octopus/ 매운 낙지!!
Thinking I will go with the Octopus!

Can you get this to go as take out? Has anyone gone down to Koreatown and taken it go?

Called Korea Palace and they seemed totally confused when I asked if the BBBwas $7. They offered the $15 set menu though.

Exhibit A in my case against rapacious Korean deli owners.
$7 for rice, bean sprouts, shredded carrots (from a package, no doubt), a few other assorted vegetables and a few shreds of gristley “beef.” Do they charge extra for the egg? I thought so.

Sadly, the dol sot at Bann is still regular price–they are only selling the cold version at the $7 price.

Keep in mind that Korean eateries are a primary source of my pet hair removal salon’s income, dearest heart. Try not to be too critical.

JZ, yes you can get it for take out. I did this today at Kunjip and (Zach, take note) I got a MOUNTAIN of food for $7 + tax !!! It was the best deal I’ve gotten in a long, long time. Unlike Bann’s $7 deal, Kunjip actually gives you a seaweed soup, puts a fried egg in the BibimBap, AND gives you loads of banchan!
I was thinking about it, is $7 really a “deal” for bibimbap? I think that is regular price for most lunch menus at these places….
