   Um, anything Korean. lol. Fried chicken?
   Perhaps Woorijip's cheap entrees.

   Eh, I'm down here, too. It's not that exciting. Even though I love Korean food, it's only so often that I'm going to have a full-blown sit-down Korean lunch, and I got tired of Woorijip pretty quickly.

   I do have one tip though. Lots of places can serve up good bulgogi or soon dubu or bibimbap or whatever, but Arirang has an amazing chicken noodle soup. It's chicken-y, homey-tasting, and gut-bustingly huge. Honorable mention to Mandoo and E-mo, which are also great "specialists."

   I would probably eat at Woorijip every day if I worked near that area

   Agreed with Aririang, their soups are awesome, especially with Fall/Winter approaching

   Depending on how far west you are, Mooncake Foods is also great.

   Go to BCD Tofu and get the Soon Dobu (tofu soup) with seafood. Lots of banchan, and it's like $10. Oh, and it's DELICIOUS.

    I'm 2 blocks away, and Woorijip is the only place I go back to. Not the biggest fan of Korean to begin with, so I'm not too enticed by what I consider mostly overpriced restaurants.

    That said, a friend was going over the joys of Bibimbap the other day and I really want to try it. Any recommendations, ideally that fit in the ML price range?
