Gorilla Korean Fusion Restaurant

Rating: Two sideways thumbs

Date: 12/19/10
Time in: 5:50 PM

Time out: 6:55 PM

Server's recommendations: Beef bulgogi, kalbi short ribs, spicy seafood dduk bae gi (spicy seafood soup with tofu), boo dae jji gae (lots of ham, ramen, sausage, veggie stew)

What we ordered: Boo dae jji gae, corn cheese

Number in our party: 2

Final check amount: $18.48

Notes:

• Panchan is served at the beginning.  Delicious cucumber pickles.
• Good sticky rice.
• The stew included more than it said -- there were also rice cakes and tofu.   
• One soup is enough for two. 
• The corn cheese is greasy and delicious, but easy enough to recreate at home.  We suspect that it's nothing but corn, mayonnaise, sugar, and a ton of melted cheese, baked in an oven.
• The Korean pop music is really loud and terrible (in Miko's opinion) / terribly awesome (in Jenne's opinion).
