5 000 ans
All-you-can-eat Korean BBQ

5000 ans, a casual Korean (and Japanese?!?) restaurant, offers a wide selection of dishes I’d like to try some day but this post is about the all-you-can-eat Korean BBQ. At a rate of $21.99 per person, the meal features four types of meat, two dipping sauces, mushrooms, onions, aleafy salad, napa kimchi, pickled daikon and steamed white rice. Even if you can order all you want as often as you want, pace yourself. Wasting food adds a penalty fee of $5.99 to your bill.
5000 ans' biggest set back is that most meals aren’t accompanied by a complimentary set of Banchan. Pretty ridiculous. They have some, you just have to pay for them. Even more ridiculous. At least the cost of the all-you-can-eat BBQ covers two small side dishes: Napa Kimchi and Pickled Daikon. I like my kimchi strong, sharp, sour and spicy. Here, it’s too mild and dry for my taste. It’s not bad, there’s just better out there. Thinly stringed and delightfully refreshing, the pickled white radish adds crunch, vinegary zing and a touch of sweetness to every bite.

Not all Korean restaurants let you cook the BBQ and that takes the fun out of it. At 5000 ans, you get to do it yourself! Turn up the portable gas grill and start with whatever you like. It’s not a good idea to dump everything at once. Take it slow and eat a little while you cook a little. The smell of sizzling meat and vegetables browning might be deliciously painful if you’re starving but for quick cooking, lay the food flat in a single layer and leave enough space between items. Look for springy, browned flesh, shriveled up edges, and the always awesome caramelized patches.
