Their Mak Chang (abomasum) is scrumdiddly-umptious. Never knew what 'Mak Chang' exactly was, but I found out is the part right below the small intestine of a cow. Eww, some may say. But let me assure you, it defies any preconceived notion of having a barnyard gamey-ness expectant of animal innards.
They are sliced thin enough that the fattiness crisps up almost like a golden chicharrone. It is delicious when washed down with some cold Korean lager or Soju. This is Korean comfort which hearkens back to a pre-industrial time when our people grilled up whatever source of calories they could get their soot-covered hands on.
We went with a party of fourteen and even the children loved the makchang. It comes with an aluminum foil cup of cheesy mayo-ey corn and foil wrapped garlic. There aren't many accompaniments or banchan aside from palate cleansing pickled onions and peppers, and pickled daikon wraps. This joint is more of a Korean gastro-pub than a sit down restaurant.
The kids were going nuts on the chalkboard which may give it a family-friendly character. However, this place is for a small group of friends to grill up an assortment of meat and wash it down with some libations to absolve the stress of a rough work week. All the grisly grilled mystery meat tells the story of how hardworking Korean people adapted and overcame third-worldly troubles.
