Yi Ssi Hwa Ro in Koreatown

Artist Jeffrey James Mohr and I had some work to do in K-Town. In the morning, I woke up with the feeling that we should go to the ole Chapman Market on 6th. It's been converted into a multi-restaurant complex and I have only been to the sushi place there. In the middle of the day, we made our way there. Entering through the side driveway, we walked around, checking out each place and decided to go to Yi Ssi Hwa Ro. We walked in and only two or three tables were seated. Kind of strange for lunch time. It turns out that they do most of their business in the evening and it get's very lively. Jeffe and I were treated extremely well and the hostess personally guided us through the menu and what to order. It was a full on meat fest, BBq'd at the table. We had pork belly, duck, beef, an amazing chicken sautee, etc. The bancha was simple but tasty and they brought out this egg dish that was bubbling hot and really incredible. I could see that the experience lends itself to bigger groups/parties and drinking would be an important ingredient. We can't drink while we are working so that didn't happen but man this was a wonderful experience and the hostess really spoiled us.
