These are the side dishes that are given. You can ask for more if needed … and of course we did. They were that delicious!

Gal Bi [Korean style BBQ short ribs marinated in special Korean sauce] | $15.95

If you think this comes with the bone in on every single piece of meat … you are incorrect. We were a little sad by this.

But it was still delicious.

Yuk Gae Jang [sliced Brisket vegetable soup w/hot spicy seasoning, beef, and egg] | $9.95

So yummy. So many vegetables. Words cannot describe.

This is our table filled with food. We did not finish it at all which was fine by us. I actually had four meals coming out of this.

So worth the price!

Towards the end, they give you a tiny shot like cup with a little bit of cinnamon like tea. It’s cold but so good.

We toasted, and drank it down. Yum!

Do come here if you’re ever in San Antonio and want Korean food. Else for pricing-wise, stick to Houston.

We then made our way to Cheesecake Factory for some yummy cheesecake.

Trisha and I wanted to hang out one last time before I left for the summer so on May 5th we ended up at Ilsong Garden.

Galbi [marinated beef short ribs] | $9.95

Everything paired nicely and was surprised that I didn’t get as much food as I usually do at Korean restaurants.

Korean Side Dishes

I did not find their side dishes to be that fabulous compared to others.

Ilsong Garden | San Antonio, Texas | Soon Du Bu Chige

Soon Du Bu Chige [soft tofu with seafood soup] | $7.95

I had leftovers from the soup since they didn’t give me enough rice but man was it delicious.

I don’t think I’ll ever come back here again. Though the food is good, the amount of food I get for the price wasn’t great.

Sperry's

Trisha got Sperry’s for me for my birthday!! I’ve worn them practically every day for work. Thanks, boo!

Austin BBgo | Austin, Texas

On February 3rd, Jenny and I went to Austin since I couldn’t go home for Chinese New Year due to the weather. We stayed at Tammy’s place and went to dinner at Austin BBgo. There was no one there when we walked in and only saw one other couple the time we were there. We soon found out why …

Austin BBgo | Austin, Texas | Side Dishes

Korean Side Dishes

Korean restaurants usually come and ask if we wanted to refill our side dishes, but this place didn’t do that and we were too shy to ask. That gets an “x” in my book.

Austin BBgo | Austin, Texas | Galbi

Galbi | ~$16

The amount they gave me is not worth what I paid. It was good but not as good as back in Houston so to me, not worth it at all.

Austin BBgo | Austin, Texas | Bibimbap

Bibimbap

Tammy said her Bibimbap was pretty good.

Austin BBgo | Austin, Texas | Bulgogi

Bulgogi |~$12

Jenny’s was a different story. The meat was tough and it had no taste. Not sure what happened there. We all tried it and all agreed it was the worst thing ever.

Although we were all able to get seconds out of all these dishes, Jenny’s was the worst. When she ate her leftovers, I can hear her sobbing internally.

I’m a big fan of Korean food but I’ll never come here again. It was not worth my money.
