Food Truck Lunch: Seoul Food

It is probably not a good idea to eat Korean BBQ for lunch when you have had an upset stomach for two days but I am a glutton for food and punishment and not generally known for showing any kind of restraint. But I was secure in the thought that pepto bismol would get me through the dark times ahead and I ventured forth to try a new food truck in FiDi. Well, I don't actually think it's a new truck but it's new to me and I haven't seen it in the area before.

Anyway, I had the bibimbap which is their version of a rice bowl or at least it sounded like it. Though they did have a rice platter on the menu. The rice platter was meat, kimchi and rice while bibimbap has other vegetables in it. At that point, I think it's just a matter of semantics but who am I to question the almighty gods of the Seoul Food menu creators.

It was a pretty standard formula. Choose your meat (short rib, rib eye, pork, chicken and portabello mushrooms), choose your rice (white or brown) and choose your vegetables (kimchi, lettuce, mushrooms, cilantro lime onions, bean sprouts, carrots, chili paste and sriracha sauce). Don't ask me why chili paste and sriracha sauce are listed under vegetables.

I chose the rib eye, brown rice and every vegetable option except mushrooms (I hate mushrooms) and what I got was rib eye, white rice and every vegetable except mushrooms (yay!) and siracha sauce (boo!).

It was not starting off great but I was pleasantly surprised. I mixed everything together with the chili paste. It had a pleasant burn to it which I enjoyed immensely.

Of all the Korean BBQ places that I've tried (Korilla BBQ and Kortaco), Seoul Food has been the best so far.

I would definitely eat there again but my food wasn't so good that I'd get the same thing.
