Restaurant has Closed Gung Jung Sulrangtang & Duck in Stanton, California For those who follow me on Instagram , know that I love Korean food.  I love eating soondubu jjigae (spicy tofu stew), bibimbap, and anything grilled.  So when I heard I can have Korean style bbq with duck, I had to check it out...  See What Jay Eats... Smoked Duck  The smoked duck comes with various vegetable  wrap options and served  with white kim chee and accompanying pickles. The smoked duck was really good, I could've eaten each component separately. Note:  I forgot to take pictures of the banchans (side dishes), was too busy enjoying the Korean food discussion, but I will say that they were delicious. The grill was brought out and was time for Duck BBQ! Gung Jung gets their ducks fresh each day, you can tell by the vibrant color. There's nothing like cooking vegetables in duck fat. I even...

Whether it's Korean barbecue, Soondobu Jigae (spicy tofu stew) or even kim chee, there's something addicting to Korean food.  I love Korean food and want to learn more.

I love trying new places and love Korean BBQ!  A lthough I've been hearing about Palsaik from various sources, it took me awhile to get there.  Located in a shopping center, the restaurant is hidden behind the BCD Tofu House on Western, lots of free parking. My friend explained the name "Palsaik Samgyupsal" means "8 colors bacon" or 8 different flavors of pork.  PORK? I Can't Wait!   Palsaik Samgyupsal Korean BBQ is a famous pork belly restaurant in Seoul, a second U.S. location opening in Buena Park.   While we waited outside for a table, my friend suggested we order the Palsaik Set Menu ($49.99).  It's comes with the 8 different pork flavors, seafood stew, green salad, mushrooms and vegetables for the grill, and two types of kim chee.  It was more than enough food for at least 3 people, you can also order additional dishes. Once inside, the interior is not your typical Korean BBQ restaurant, it's more on the contemporary style and...
