85 Elizabeth St, City
3/5
The rating i gave this place is probably a little out of whack. Mostly because i love bibimbap and everybody who knows me, knows that the two madtongsan's in the city are two of my favorites. especially for lunch and now with the presence of tap hite (which at least madtongsan II you can get by the jug) which makes the idea of spicy hot Korean food even more appealing, just writing this post makes me want to go back.
Madtongsan 2 is a fantastic restaurant evidenced by the fact that most of their single dish menu is under 15 dollars and most of their hotpots (for two or more) are under or around $30 and the fact that on Sunday lunch time it is difficult to get a table for more than two people.
So on this particular Sunday lunch time my lunch partner and i were able to get a table for two at about 1pm. When you are seated at your table, they usually bring round the complimentary Kim chi, and provide you with chopsticks and a spoon, service is easy due to the use of call bells on the table that bring the waitress to your table and the presence of jugs of hite beer (13 dollars a jug at a restaurant???!!!) means your first order is always known (unless of course you like soju)
We proceeded to order with no hesitation, knowing exactly what we wanted from the menu, two bibimbap's (mixed vegetables and rice with raw egg and chilli paste) and a jug of hite, the beer coming almost immediately, food a little longer, for those who haven't had Korean food before i know of nothing better than kimchi and beer. upon arrival of the food the usual stirring up of the bibimbap and the devouring that comes soon after proceeded as normal for me with my cold non stone pot bowl, my company however took longer due to the furnace like heat emanating from the stone pot ("dol soot" and the heat is a good thing) the dish came in. The food was of its usual high quality. i would recommend going here anytime you have free.
again my blog writing is rubbish, however hopefully ill learn to write better soon enough.
