bibim bar


new york, ny

link to yelp

derek and i were in the mood for asian food and decided to wander down to st. mark's and try to find something around there. we ended up at bibim-bar, which i read about on serious eats. it's actually one avenue past the main st. mark's strip. we both ordered the dolsot bibimbap with bulgogi and shared dumplings and kimchee pajeon.

the bibimbap in the hot stone bowl was pretty good. better than manna kitchen, i expect, but not better than k-town. dumplings and pajeon were good, but not great. derek pointed out that it's probably meant to be a late night spot. the evidence - they had a wide selection of sake, it was empty at noon on sunday, the fabric on the seat cushions was stained and dirty, and none of the furniture matched. definitely not worth hiking all the way to first avenue for - might as well walk north to k-town instead.
