Midopa Restaurant

sadly, this place was sold to another owner.  we are goign to miss the old owner.  after seeing them almost weekly for past 7 years, we have become good friends.

good news is that new owner remodeled the place with brighter, cleaner and more selections!  come and try them out..

the new owner decided to keep the same name.

My parents come here all the time for Korean food (when they feel lazy and don't cook their own), so my mom finally brought me here when I told her I was in the mood for nang myun (cold buckwheat noodles).  They have the normal nang myun choices, but also have a special "Midopa nang myun", which I asked for.  It was so good and refreshing on the hot hot summer day.  

My mom got the seafood dot sol bibimbap, which I think was my favorite! It cooked so well in the pot, and I enjoyed scraping the burned/crisp rice at the bottom until the very last grain was gone.  It was flavored really well and spicy and warm and delicious.

My one bad comment is I wish they gave more side dishes. I

The good:  The single server was friendly and super efficient, most of the ban chan we got were really tasty. The price tag was good, under $20 for dinner for 2.

The bad: we got a bibimbap and a dol sot bibimbap (my favorite dinner).  The regular bibimbap was served stone cold and without rice, the dol sot was sizzling hot and had rice but neither had any flavor at all :(  

We were also served a soup that had no flavor.

It might have been an off night but I doubt we'll be back.  My search for good korean in Denver continues :(
