Assa

Tuesday, March 05, 2013 - My favourite was the kimchi fried rice, full of lots of the aforementioned spicy pickled vegetable and topped with a glorious fried egg...We wanted some grilled meat too and an order of galbi had us gnawing away at these tender short ribs. Chopsticks were not good enough – we used our fingers!

Tuesday, May 10, 2011 - Sides of sesame-marinated beansprouts and nice salty seaweed came as part of the lunch deal but I couldn't resist paying another 1.50 for the house kimchi, crunchy and pleasantly pungent...I think I preferred my spicy beef main, the chunks of superbly tender marinated beef flavoured with sweet onions and chilli oil, than what I tried of my friend's tofu broth, but they both looked the part, the tofu served lively and sizzling in its superheated pot and the beef alongside a generous portion of rice in a large, shallow bowl. It wasn't dazzling by any stretch of the imagination, but it was a great deal better than you had any right to expect for 5.50 and came with complimentary green tea.
