Reviews
I am a pretty big fan of Korean food. During Covid, we’ve been following all of the guidelines and have not been eating out very much at all. It’s only in the last few weeks that we’ve been adding 1-2 meals a week from “out” to our lockdown routine.
The choice for the weekend was Korean and Tony’s was a new place to try. They are basically at 141 & Olive and located inside an Asian market (look for the signs).
Between chatting with friends in the parking lot and driving home, the food was probably 45-minutes removed from cooking by the time we ate it and I don’t think it suffered hardly at all. Here’s what we had and some thoughts:
General note: healthy portions for the price and everything tasted/looked/felt very fresh.
Kimchi fried rice – my first time trying the dish and I was not a fan. Sadly, as I only have one data point, I cannot comment on how good their version is compared to others.
Mandu – those things probably were capable of melting most of the layers of skin off the roof of my mouth when we picked them up but after a 45-minute wait they were still warm and crispy enough to come across as a great choice. In general, deep-fried foods don’t seem to travel or reheat well but that wasn’t an issue as the whole order was consumed at the first sitting.
Pan-fried duk bok gi – absolutely delicious! I’ve only ever had this dish in the spicy red sauce so this was a new flavor profile. Somehow there was still a little heat (a good thing!) in the dish even without the sauce. Think crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside with enough sesame seeds to lightly infuse that flavor. We attempted to reheat the next day with limited success.
Beef bulgogi – the star of the meal! They slice their beef really thin…exactly how I like it! Marinated to perfection so the dish both tasted and smelled exactly as expected. I’ve eaten a fair amount of bulgogi, both here and on the peninsula, and would rank their dish in the top-ten of all bulgogi I’ve eaten in the last 35+ years. I enjoyed the caramelization of the meat and translucence of the chopped onion pieces. The flavors were bold and the texture was the right mix of sticky rice, slightly crispy seared beef, cooked onions, etc. I also appreciated the fact the onion was chopped as opposed to slivered because the ratio on my fork made more sense that way. We reheated the leftovers for lunch and the dish was just as yummy the next day, if not more so.
A real winner of a dinner, even after a 45-minute delay between cooking and eating.
The crispy pan-fried dukbokki had a lovely sesame flavor, with a perfectly chewy interior and a crisp exterior, making them an excellent snack or appetizer. I also appreciated the thoughtful packaging – the perforated box kept them from getting soggy, which was a great touch. The side of kimchi was delicious, adding just the right amount of tang and spice.
I ordered lunch takeout, which took about 40 minutes to prepare. No complaints—it’s a busy time, and the food is absolutely worth the wait. Can’t wait to try more from their menu!
We ordered jajangmyeon, beef bulgogi and crispy tteokbokki. These were delicious!! The portions for each dish was enough for two of us since they were heavy and filling.
We will definitely be ordering online and have it delivered next time we have Korean food cravings.
