I discovered Friend's House one day while I was craving dolsot bibimbap....and boy, was I glad this was one of the main places that popped up in my search. Their dolsot bibimbap (rice with beef and vegetables in a hot stone pot) was perfectly executed...fresh and flavorful. They did not by any means skimp on any of the ingredients, including the beef, and that's enough to win my heart! It's no-nonsense sizzling deliciousness in a hot pot.

Of course, what Korean restaurant would be complete without its banchan (side dishes)? Standard fare here, and of course...refillable!

Another dish that left a positive mark for me was the gamja-tang (pork-bone stew with meat and potatoes). Although maybe an acquired taste for some, this stew was well-seasoned and quite hearty, and together with hot rice was perfect for a chilly autumn night. Generous portions of tender pork-bone meat, potatoes and rice cake left me more than satisfied. My friend also mentioned how her udong (udon noodle soup) was tasty and satisfying as well.

It's notable to mention that they're open until midnight, 6 days a week...major props to late night eateries! Aside from the aforementioned highlights, Friend's House also serves other familiar Korean staples such as bulgogi, galbi, soondubu and pajeon....although as I've yet to try these, I can't comment on them yet. I suppose that calls for another visit soon!
