At first glance the menu here seems identical to every other Korean joint—bowls of bibimbap, chapchae noodles, marinated meats and seafood for grilling tableside. But a few twists give this spot the edge it needs to survive in this apparently tough (possibly cursed?) location. Big, fat, housemade mandoo dumplings are stellar, with skins so thin they're almost transparent. And the entire barbecue lineup is available as "tapas," smaller portions of tender short rib and well-marbled pork neck that you can sample just as you would the parade of accompanying banchan..
