Bob Sang Korean Kitchen

  The sundubu was only fair. I'm not sure why others have commented that service was slow because I got mine in less than five minutes. By the way, you just have to love getting that boiling sundubu and stirring in the egg. In addition to the so-so taste of the food, a significant problem with this place is the fact that it is located within the Assi plaza which has a terrible and distracting smell of rotting seafood and produce.

  I don't know what song Bob sang, but them ladies back there can cook.
  
  I am fairly new to Korean food, I gotta say that sundubu here is wickedly good. Dolsot Bibimbap from here is one of my faves, but I do ask for an extra egg.
  I totally eat here all the time, that Bob -he's like a dope dealer the way he looks at me when he sees me....dude watches me examine all the stall menus, but he gives me this "I know you're a fiend for me" look. Bob gets me every time.

  I come here for authentic Korean food.  The medium spiced soups are excellent.  I order dishes that is not bibimbop, or bulgogi.
  
  It's a treat to come here.
  
  Portions are generous.

  A solid Korean restaurant located in the food court at Assi supermarket.  Make sure you get their entree punch card.  10 dishes equal a free entree.  My favorites:
  1.  Bu-dae-gi-gae:  If you like kimchi-gi-gae, you'll love this dish.  It's full of spicy flavor, a good portion of meat (hot dog, Spam) and cellophane noodles.  
  2.  Kalbi-tang: Flavorful beef broth with tender pieces of kalbi.  Also had a generous portion of cellophane noodles and radish.  Garnished with thin slices of egg.
  
  Tried, but not a fan:
  1.  Soon-tu-bu-gi-gae  It's a decent dish, but lacks that spicy kick soon-tu-bu should have.  It's not as flavorful as the other dishes mentioned above.
  
  Can I make a suggestion to all of those restaurants in the food court?  Have a kids menu!   Kid-sized portions and kid-friendly entrees.   We eat there several times a month and there are many families with small children (including us) eating at the food court.  This would give a restaurant a definite edge over the others.  
  
  IN SUMMARY:  You won't be disappointed in their bu-dae-gi-gae and kalbi-tang.

  Not quick, but definitely convenient, and quite tasty. This is one of the kiosk type joints that you see inside giant Asian supermarkets like Super H Mart. This particular one is located inside the Assi Plaza supermarket in Niles.
  
  Obviously, atmosphere is nil, and you won't have some of the amenities you might see at a regular Korean restaurant, like a grill in the middle of your table. But the food was good - we ordered the dolsot bibimbap (a kiosk with dolsot!) with beef, and a plate of bulgogi. The bibimbap can be ordered with squid instead. After waiting for a while (probably they had to heat up the stone bowl), the order was brought out to our table. You could hear the sizzling of the rice against the stone bowl - I love the crispy bits. The beef wasn't too flavorful, but after adding a bit of sauce, and mixing the vegetables in, it was just fine.
  
  The bulgogi was marinated well, and cooked with sprouts, peppers, and onions. It came with a small bowl of white rice. We decided to add the bulgogi to the bibimbap (that's what I usually do anyway) after the white rice ran out.
  
  Both dishes came with small dishes of kimchi and seaweed, and the bibimbop also came with a bowl of soup (some variant of miso). The kimchi was not too spicy, but it was fine. The soup was just OK. All in all, a good meal in a convenient location - the grocery store.
