"The next time you need to meet a friend for dinner after work in the area, head to Hojokban. Here, you can eat galbi served atop a carved wooden pedestal, which feels more special than eating off a regular platter. There’s an order of this house specialty on every table, along with other Korean comfort food, like budae jigae laden with Spam. It’s a casual spot, but one where you can linger over return-to-office drama in between bites of ribs and scallion salad." - bryan kim, willa moore, carina finn koeppicus
