Kogi Mania

It all began one day when Rupa was home sick from work. Antsy from laying around all day, finally feeling a little better and a little lonely, Jer came to the rescue. Kogi was across the street from Ralphs (grocery store)! Excitement, anticipation, overcame us for we were finally going to experience the hype. A food blogger once said that anticipation is essential to the experience of food. Well, we were more than ready for this.

A brisk five minute walk and we were there. Eager. Ready. Eyeing the line. Suddenly realizing that we only had $5 dollars in cash, Rupa dug through her junk of a purse to find another $2 in change. PHEW. We stood in line trying to see what everyone was ordering. Tacos, quesadillas, burritos - all with a Korean flare. We love tacos. We love Korean BBQ. What could be better!



End of story, was it worth the hype and the line? Yes, at least to experience it. Pros: short rib tacos, short rib tacos, short rib tacos. Super tender pieces of short rib seasoned with asian spices, topped with a Korean cabbage slaw. SOOOO gooood. Sweet and spicy, crispy and soft. A perfect conundrum. Cons: Rupa didn't really like much else of what she tried - the blackjack quesadilla (chicken, kimchi and cheese) or the pork burrito (pork, kimchi, cabbage and egg). Then again, her second experience was after a Moot Court argument so her mind may not have been in the right place. :) Jer liked everything he tried - although the short rib tacos still stand above the rest - so to each own.

Happy eating!
