Red Stand

Just came back from Korea a few months ago. And since then I’ve been craving a cute Korean spot on the island with legit food.
I’m so glad I found this place! Super conveniently located in the Samsung plaza. I’ve been here more times than I’ll admit, and every time I leave full and satisfied.
Prices aren’t bad either! More expensive than Korea tho (bc food is so cheap there lol)
Get the rabboki instead of just the ddukbokki!

**Breakfast Edition**
Have you ever had those days when everything is just blah. You don’t feel like eating at your typical daily spot and having the same olé’ stuff. On top of that, you don’t feel for anything in particular or nothing sounds great at the moment. «Right here, right here!» While raising my hand. I decided one morning I’d make my way to the Samsung plaza where they have lots of little spots to eat. Low and behold Red Stand pulled me by the nose as I decipher what the smell was and to what looked like a little liquor store. I was mistaken…
Red everywhere as I turned from side to side. They’ve been opened for about 5 months. Seats are aplenty and a comfy long wall booth lined the walls with small tables and cute comfy pillows accompanying them. The sound of sizzling and clinging pots and pans from the kitchen invited me to brown nose a little and I asked… «What do you guys have cookin over there?» They said «kimchi & veggie fried rice.» Let me look at this menu. Not only do they have breakfast but lunch and dinner all in one. It’s a colorful, simple menu with lots of fun things. I also noticed individual burners on the side of the tables for Tteokbokki (their specialty). I am hooked and curious as I’ve not tried them here yet. A section of their menu mentions of ramen, soup and stews, rice dishes, spicy dishes, customizable lunch boxes, and not just limited to that. The menu consists of small eatery for the light eaters, coffee drinks, desserts and shaved ice. It’s a one stop shop in this small little place.
Let me start with the breakfast. I was über excited after learning breakfast being served all day and is also attractively affordable. I’m not a huge eater, so I started off with their Mini Set-​1 for $ 4.50. This little breakfast set came with Spam Musubi, scrambled egg and your choice of soup (Soup choices are: Miso, Kimchi, Corn soup). I decided on the corn soup. I love everything creamy, therefore, corn soup was needed and plus it’s cold in the office! Everything was nicely made and tasty. I happen to like the not overpowering taste of their musubi (well seasoned) and the lightness of their scrambled eggs (they’re nice and fluffy!). The presentation and taste overall was en pointe. I can’t wait to try their dinner and lunch items. Customer service is excellent here!
Parking can be challenging at the plaza during busy hours (usually from lunch and so forth), Street parking may be available.

Literally a hole in the wall restaurant in Samsung Plaza with a really small, cutely furnished seating area and lots of musubis, etc. to take out near the kitchen area. Like all eateries on Keeaumoku, parking is somewhat hard to find given that the parking lots are almost always crowded, so it wouldn’t be a bad idea to park at Ala Moana and just walk it over. You can walk to get hungrier, eat at Red Stand, then walk off your fullness. Yay!
We arrived between 12:30 and 1pm and were fortunate to be seated at one of the last tables, and were soon served water. Service good so far! The menu is pretty extensive (and everything sounded so good!) so we took awhile to decide what to order. After lots of page flipping, we finally went with kim bap and pat bing soo, and were served within decent time. Another point for service!
Let me tell you– the pat bing soo is REALLY REALLY REALLY GOOD! The shave ice was soft and was doused in a generous (but not overwhelming) amount of condensed milk, and the toppings included sweet beans, mochi balls, pineapple chunks, and almond slivers. SO DELICIOUS AND REFRESHING! Unfortunately, the kim bap wasn’t as astonishing (although the serving was decent-​sized)… while I thought it was pretty good, Mom didn’t think it had too much taste. I really enjoyed the sesame seeds sprinkled on top of the roll though. Definitely adds something different and distinguishes it from the kim bap sold at other places.
Returning for sure! Probably to get my pat bing soo fix, or perhaps to try some of the other variations. And can’t wait to try all the other delicious looking items too! Yummm

Such a cute place~ very cute décor and the red color theme is nicely done. This place is really good for quick food that you are looking to take on the go. If you work around the Alamoana area, this is a good place to grab a bite during your lunch break.
My friend and I ordered one of the box sets with the kimchee burger, salad and corn soup. The food was good, and it looks healthy! Amazingly this meal filled us up… but an hour later we were hungry again… but then again we have elastic stomachs.
I ordered the same lunch set for my boyfriend. He thought the corn soup was really good, but unfortunately the meal did not fill him up and he was still hungry. I just wish the size of their sets were bigger.
I’ll definitely come back here to try their bingsoo and ddukbokees. I love their kimchee rice burger, will definitely buy that again too!

Located in the Samsung Plaza is this adorable Korean restaurant called Red Stand! They have cute décor inside with pillows and teddy bears – a good place for couples to go.
I went once at night and ordered toppoki, kimbap and spicy pork. The waitress cooked the toppoki at our table and was very courteous. The food was good, not amazing, but good. The space felt a little cramped and it was hard to fit all the banchan and main dishes on the table.
I normally order their takeout bento boxes. My personal favorite is their breakfast set. For around $ 5, you get 1 musubi, scrambled or boiled egg (depends on what time you order) and your choice of soup (corn, kimchi or miso soup). It’s a steal and fairly healthy, too!
Overall, a good place for takeout. I especially like their all-​day breakfast! For young couples who want an excuse to cuddle up and eat in a cozy, romantic setting, Red Stand’s the place for you. For everyone else, the heart-​shaped pillows and teddy bears might make you feel a little uncomfortable.

Who wants Bingsoo??? Da sweetie wanted some Bingsoo… so Bingsoo it is!
What is Bingsoo? I had it just one time awhile back at Cooland (Cooland has since closed), the best way to put it… it’s like a Korean Shave Ice.
So upon finding this little café (just across the street from the Koreamoku Walmart), Red Stand is located in the same strip mall complex as Raging Crab.
Upon walking into this small venue… I could see this café had only a few tables. Apparently this little café serves regular food, besides desserts.
As for us, we were mainly here for the dessert… as we had dinner at another location — (Ahi & Vegetable) the other night.
Upon walking into the café, we scanned the Bingsoo menu and decided to share a Acai Bingsoo… so basically it’s a Acai Korean Shave Ice.
What can I say about the Acai Bingsoo?
I loved the fresh fruit on the Acai Bingsoo. The flavor was good too! But what I did not care for was the large chunks for ice that was inside of our Bingsoo.
It was nice to have a cool treat after dinner, perhaps next time we would try something else here… but I must say… loose the large chunks of ice please in the Bingsoo, cuz you really can’t eat that stuff… who knows, maybe I might chip a tooth on that! LoL!

Yikes. ~$ 19 tteokbokki for two and ~$ 28 for 3 – 4 people? Did you know you can buy the ingredients from Palama Supermarket for less than $ 15 and make it in your own home (tons of recipes online, and SUPER easy to make) in less than 15 minutes for 5 – 7 people? In fact, in Korea, you can get a huge plate of tteokbokki for less than $ 5. But that’s aside the point. You came here for the experience, and maybe the cute teddy bear if you spend over $ 50. Which, btw, is easily obtainable with the prices they charge. Now keep in mind that the original tteokbokki (cheapest, for $ 19) doesn’t include any noodles like ramen/​udon/​jjolmyun. That’s extra.
As for the food— it was average. Yes, it is fun to cook the tteokbokki at your own table & eat it hot&fresh right off the pot, but the flavor was underwhelming. The dish was reeeaaally watery and it just didn’t knock my socks off.
I miiiiiight return and try some of their other dishes, such as the fried rice, mandu, kimbop, or even their patbingsu (Korean shave ice), but I don’t think I’ll order their tteokbokki again. I actually made a pot of it the other day, so let me know if you’d like some! $ 10! hahaha, just kidding.
Parking is available right in the shopping center– free with validation so don’t forget to ask for a stamp. Oh, and speaking of stamps. They have a stamp card; one stamp for every $ 5 you spend. I think you get a free musubi after however many, and then $ 10 off at the end?

I was craving something really spicy and ddeukbboki and this place hit the spot. the staff is super nice and gave us more manchan when we asked.
the original was spicy and yummy!

If I could give this place 10 stars, trust me. I would! I love ddeukbboki with ramen aka rabokki.
Their spicy is actually SPICY. I’m glad I didn’t get the extra spicy. We got the seafood ddeukbboki, added ramen and an extra boiled egg. The lady comes to the table and mixes it for you. Imagine hot pot, same style. You share out of a large skillet. My friend also got some kind of rice burger? He said it was good. I got the tuna kimchee musubi. Then we ended the night with mango bingsu (Korean style shave ice). Their menu is extensive! They are open for breakfast with about 4 pages of breakfast items ranging from $ 4-​$ 9. What a deal! They also serve different types of ramen. What I wanna try next time is the ddeukbokki in the black bean sauce (yes.the same sauce for jajangmyun!!!). You can also get it in pizza flavor. Pretty interesting stuff. Go give it a try! Spend $ 50 or more for a FREE red stand teddy bear!
The only thing I don’t like about this place is the parking attendant. :/​we had a 2 hour stamp and she tells us we owe her $ 2 more? Wtf I know we didn’t eat for 2 hours come on now! But we just paid her. She obviously needs the money. Ok vent over. Anyway, try to park somewhere else if you can. I love red stand and I can’t wait to come back! Great customer service and amazing food!

A cute, small place that serves simple Korean favorites. Looks like a lot of their business is take out. As they have a vast menu of take out lunch boxes, kimbap and musubis.
Their dine in specialties include tteokbokki, budaejigae, noodles and fried rices. I ordered the shrimp fried rice and rice burger. The fried rice as good flavor and just enough oil to make it moist but not overly oily. The rice burger is simply a musubi with some kind of meat and lettuce inside, not bad.
Wife had seafood ramen and kimbap. Seafood ramen is basically shin (instant) ramen with some clams, ika and mussels added. She knew that when ordering, but don’t you be surprised when you get instant ramen. Kimbap was made to order and fresh. She liked only 2^nd to Ireh.
We ended with Pat Bingsoo or korean shave ice. Instead of ice, they use frozen milk covered with red beans, fresh fruit and mochi.
This place has good food, but a little expensive for simple korean food. I rarely see budaejigae in hawaii and would have definitely ordered it except it was $ 32. This is a spicy stew with instant ramen, spam and sausages. Pretty crazy price.
Overall a good experience. I will come back to try their lunch boxes.

Please temper your expectations with the 4.5 star average rating for over 30 reviews, our overall experience didn’t match that at all.
For the positives, I can see how some people love this place, the vibe is very cute and inviting, the décor has matching color schemes. Spend $ 50 and you will get a free teddy bear. The service is very friendly and helpful.
Unfortunately, the food is really average and overpriced. Let’s start with the kim chee, it’s too sweet and lacks appropriate aging. Where are the strong garlic and anchovies flavors? It appears that they added the flavorings and didn’t let everything soak in the cabbage.
The beef kimbap ($ 4.50) was their best dish and you can’t go wrong here. You can also order their single fried mandoo ($ 2.50) and it’s a decent choice.
The biggest disappointment was the «Seafood» Tteokbokki (rice cake soup) for $ 21.95. I put the «» because if you add one shrimp, one mussel, and one or two pieces squid, can you really call this «Seafood»?? Be careful with the spice level as their average is spicier than what you will expect. This dish was ok, the rice cake fully absorbs the flavors and the staff will help you mix the soup and you can watch this dish cook in front of you which is cool. But for the amount you pay, I really expected more. You can order three soft tofu stews from Palama Market for the same price and get more seafood.
The second disappointment was the strawberry bingsoo (korean shave ice) for $ 8.95. There was not enough flavoring and we had to stretch and mix the ice so we won’t eat ice alone. The ice was not fully grinded out and you have to chew, I expected the ice to be finer. You will get a better deal at Frost City for more than a buck less. This pales in comparison.
To lessen the cost, there is a 10% off coupon in the paper if you dine in from 1PM to 6PM.

This is a new place and I’ve already been here numerous times. That has GOT to say something about this place. I love it. The toppoki mochi is so soft and although the ramen noodles are the instant kine, I don’t care. It still tastes good because the aunties that make it, make it good.
The service is very warm and fuzzy too! Very impressive for a Korean place.
I love going back and will probably go again soon!

They are located inside Samsung Plaza across from Walmart. It’s free parking with validation in their private lot. The restaurant is cozy and welcoming thanks to the friendly staff. Their service was very good throughout the meal. The décor is rather cute with pillows on the booth seating along the wall, teddy bears in shelves, red themed furniture and kitchen utensils. If you spend over $ 50, you get to take home a teddy bear!
The food here is very good and reminded me of Korea. I came here with my lunch buddy and we ordered up a feast! It turned out to be perfect for the two of us. The items we tried were the Plain Pork Belly Tteokbokki, 2 pieces of Beef Mandoo, Watermelon Cold Noodle, Beef Kimbap and Strawberry Bingsoo. If you can’t eat spicy food, make sure to tell them MILD when you order the Plain Tteokbokki. Will be back to try other items on the menu!
Plain Pork Belly Tteokbokki — This dish came on a portable red burner. It was very filling and the pork belly was very good. Veggies were not soggy and cooked just perfectly. The boiled egg drenched in the soup gave it great flavor. Soup base was sweet and spicy. 4 out of 5.
Beef Mandoo — They were huge! The meat filling was very tasty, it was the perfect amount of filling to the wrapping of the mandoo. The balance of it was complimented well with the sauce it came with. 4 out of 5.
Watermelon Cold Noodle — This dish was surprising! The frozen water melon pieces and slush were unique but good. First time I had frozen watermelon pieces. The veggies were well pickled! It make the dish pop. Noodles were a bit hard to grab so make sure to ask them to cut it for you. 4 out of 5.
Beef Kimbap — Portions for this was generous and I thought that all the pieces had a lot of beef and flavor. I asked for hot sauce and put some on every piece to give it a little kick. It was quite good plain if you don’t care for spicy food. 4 out of 5.
Strawberry Bingsoo — Korean shave ice? I’m not a big dessert person but this was good. It had some sourness and sweetness to the dish. I thought it was light and very refreshing after the meal we had. 4 out of 5.

[Location & Parking]
Red Stand is located in Samsung Plaza couple doors down from Sikdorak. You can park inside Samsung Plaza for free with validation or you can also park on the street along Keeamoku St.
[Interior & Ambience]
As soon as you enter, you see the red in the interior and décor (hence the name red stand?).
It’s a nice small restaurant. Because of how small it is, it almost feels as if you’re in a café. There were about 4 – 6 sets of tables that sit for 4 people. I’m sure if you have a bigger party, they’ll allow you to join tables.
[Service]
Service was pretty good. The waitress made sure our cups were never empty. Our food was made and served pretty quickly.
[Food]
You have the option to either takeout or dine in. If you choose takeout there is an assortment of pre-​made musubis or you can order off the menu.
Bulgogi Rice Cake ($ 27.95) — You have the option of ordering a half/​full order. A half order serves about 2 people whereas a full order serves 3 – 4 people. The rice cake was cooked perfectly and there was a good proportion of meat, vegetables, and rice cake.
Kalbi Rice Burger ($ 3.75) — Red Stand’s signature items. It’s just like a hamburger except the buns are rice. This was my first time eating a rice burger and it tasted ok. I think it was because the taste of eating lettuce, rice, and mayo at the same time tasted strange to me. But, this burger can really fill you up. It’s almost like a mini plate lunch
Strawberry Bingsoo ($ 8.25) — Koreans version of shave ice. It was a decent sized bowl with strawberries and mochi balls drizzled with almond flakes. It tasted very creamy almost like strawberry milk.
Mango Bingsoo ($ 8.25) — Shave ice was topped with real bits of mango and almond flakes. This was my favorite flavor. Again, it had a very creamy taste but it wasn’t too sweet.
[Overall]
The variety in their menu and the fact that almost everything is served all day make it a great place if you need to grab a quick bite for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. The food was pretty good and the prices are pretty reasonable at under $ 10/​person.

I didn’t choose the cute, Korean café life, it chose me. And although it might not be the same as being in Seoul, Red Stand successfully brings a taste of Korean cuteness to Samsung Plaza.
They offer an assortment of Korean comfort foods: ddeokbokki (spicy rice cakes), rabokki (spicy rice cakes and ramen), other noodle dishes, soups, mandoo, patbingsoo (Korean style shave ice), etc. Prices are pretty very reasonable and the portion sizes are quite generous. Certain items, like the mandoo and rice burgers, are prepared and brought to your table. However, items such ddeokbokki and stews are served table top style on a portable burner. You can also add additional items to your order such as cheese (always yes!), ramen, egg, mandoo, and/​or jjolmyun (chewy noodles).
For those wanting some deliciousness on the go, Red Stand offers some of the most amazing take out bentos you can buy, all for less than $ 9. They offer seven (7) different types of boxes each coming with some mix of soup, salad, egg dish, and musubi/​rice burger/​omelette. And the icing on the cake is the packaging they come in, which is this really high quality red fold up box.
The only knock on Red Stand I can think of is it’s very limited seating area. If you have a large party, it wouldn’t be an overstatement to say you could potentially take up the entire place. I think there might be 20 seats max. But don’t let it’s small dining area fool you because the flavors of the food and cute, red ambiance are extra large. Red Stand is open from 7 am to 10 pm, so you can always find a time to get your Korean food fix. Working around the area, it’s safe to say that Red Stand has quickly become my favorite default spot for breakfast and lunch. Cute definitely does sell, and it Red Stand’s style of cute has me hooked.

I came here with Shay F. based on her recommendation for Rabokki, which is Ramen + Dukbokki. On a day where the weather was hot and humid yet rainy, it really hit spot. I was a bit reluctant about going at first because at dinner time, Samsung Plaza gets really crowded and parking there is tough but I got lucky with a street parking stall right outside. The place isn’t very big in size but it does add character and it’s very clean.
The staff are all very hospitable and nice not to mention helpful when you have any questions regarding dishes or how to cook the dishes. We ordered the Rabokki and it was awesome. It wasn’t too hot and it had a lot of flavor. I want to go back soon and check out the other dishes. I’d recommend coming here but in smaller groups since a larger group could take the entire restaurant over. I’d say it could hold about just under 20 people. Take a date and hit this place for some engaging food!

Ok it’s time to get in touch with my Korean roots. I saw photos that this place had (kim bap), (bing soo) and (tteokbokki) so I wanted to try it.
It’s a super small place in the SamSung Plaza that fits less than 20 people. It’s right by Café Gangnam and Raging Crab. Parking can be tough depending when you go so you can either park in the lot (you get a ticket from the parking attendant so make sure you get it validated) or look for street parking.
We’ve gone a few times and there’s usually 3 people working. Two ahjummas in the kitchen working furiously on all the orders and one other person who takes orders, delivers the food and gets you water.
They all are constantly working hard so be patient if it takes a bit of time to get more water or side dishes. They were all really nice. There was a good mix of people every time we came. There were locals who wanted to try something new and of course Koreans who spoke Korean the whole time they were there.
They seem to specialize in musubi and bento boxes. Their menu had a huge array to choose from. We came at dinner time so we didn’t get a chance to try these but noted!
I didn’t see alcohol on the menu so I don’t know if they’re waiting for their liquor license next or byob.
You get three side dishes: kim Cher (not too spicy), shredded daikon (yum!) and cabbage in a Korean cole slaw style which was good for me to counter the spice in the other dishes. So what did we try so far?
They have some tabletop cooking items which is great to share with a group or even two. There’s tteokbokki and fish cake soup.
We got the the regular tteokbokki ($ 15.95 and serves two or $ 34.95 and serves 3 – 4) which had some veggies, an egg and tteokbokki (mochi or rice cakes). We got a side of ramen to add. I will say I’m not a spice girl so it was a bit hot for me. Not unbearable but still hot. It was tasty and I liked the chewiness of the tteokbokki. Note: order and extra egg per person so everyone gets one. That’s my favorite part!
We also tried the fish cake soup ($ 14.95) which had a bunch of different fish cake in a broth that had some spice to it but very manageable. You definitely have to like fishcake for this dish since that last all it is. It was more filling than you would think and very flavorful. You could also order it spicy and with seafood too.
They will refill the soup if you ask.
They have various ramen that they bring in a pot for you to eat. It’s basically like the Korean instant ramen and you can add things. We had cheese ramen ($ 5.95). Hmm… just like in the kdramas. You can eat out of the pot or put it in bowls. It’s nice to have some one make it for you but I suggest get yourself a Korean pot and eat it at home.
We also ordered mandoo (you can choose kim chee or meat). It comes in an order of 2 or 4. We got the meat one each time we went. The mandoo are huge and meaty. We really liked the flavor of the meat inside and it had a good ratio of meat. I think this is my favorite thing here besides bingsoo.
We also ordered kim bap (sushi). They have veggie, beef and tuna. It has 10 pieces. We tried the beef and tuna. Both were really good. They weren’t too sesame oil flavored and and not too much rice. The ratio of rice and filling was good. I liked that they served it with tuna, it was a nice change from the regular beef one.
They have rice burgers too. We tried a kalbi rice burger ($ 3.95) which I must say was interesting. Only thing is. That it does get a bit crumbly and falls apart as you eat it. But tasty. Move over ramen burger!
Lastly we had to have their bingsoo which is basically shaved ice. They have red bean ($ 8.25), mango ($ 8.95), strawberry ($ 8.95) and green tea ($ 8.25). They have a large patbingsoo with red beans, fruit and coffee which you could share for $ 13.95 which serves 2 – 3 people. We tried the last three so far and mango was my favorite. The mango was refreshing and had a nice creamy taste to it and had fresh mango. The strawberry had blended strawberries and the green tea had matcha powder blended in. I really liked the texture of the ice since it wasn’t clumpy or too hard but had that good have ice texture. They are big enough to share but you could eat one on your own if you love it enough too. First time we shared and the next time we came, I said I want my own!
So how much will this place cost you? It depends on how much you eat. For two people, it ranged from $ 30-​$ 50 since we tried different things when we came.
We generally had a table top cooking item, mandoo, kim bap, and a bingsoo each time we came and were pretty full. You could add a ramen or fried rice on top of that and you would probably be good.
It’s a cute little Korean place and is slowly becoming one of my favorite and go to places. They serve all the Korean comfort foods!

OMG the seafood dukbokki was spicy. I didn’t expect it to be that spicy, kept drinking water and cooling my mouth with ban chans lol. I can eat some spicy dishes to a extend. Next time I will order a non spicy dish such as the fish cake soup or cold noodle dish. The spicy seafood dukbokki costed $ 18.95 for regular serving (2 people) and larger serving is $ 27.95 (4 people). They have aprons in case you don’t want your clothes to get dirty.
The shave ice dessert was cooling. We ordered the green tea pat bing soo. It came with almonds, cranberries, condensed milk, and mochi balls, and pineapple and strawberries. Cost $ 8.95. Eat fast cuz it will melt quickly.
Surprisely, I got a gift from the waitress. It was a ceramic holder with food pick to eat your dukbokki or fish cakes :) SWEET gift to have, all in red. I know they give out the teddy bear if you buy $ 50 or more. Didn’t think they have other free gifts for customers. maybe because we spent little over 30 bucks and balling from the spiciness.
FYI, they valet the parking ticket so we didn’t have to pay anything :)

Girls night outing. Located by Raging Crab in «Koreamoku». It’s a cute and small restaurant. When we walked in there’s like around 6 mini tables. The place is decorated with cute heart cushions and teddy bears. It feels a little like Valentine’s Day.
We got seated right away. The lady server was really nice. We looked at the menu, there were interesting items on the menu. We decided to order the cheese ramen ($ 6~) and the fishcake soup ($ 15). The ramen was exactly like those instant ramen you buy at korean supermarkets. They just added cheese in it. Ooookay… that’s a total rip off! The fishcake soup she brought to us, we boiled it on a gas stove. The dish plate was very shallow, like those cookie sheet plates. There were only half a piece of each fish cakes. There was also 6 sticks of thin layer fish cake? It’s exactly like oden you can get at Lawson Station. I’m sure you can get more than that with $ 15 at Lawson. The soup was kinda salty. When she added more soup, it looked like more water.
The lady was nice. But she wasn’t attentive when we needed more water. She came to check on us a few time… checking the gas stove, but she didn’t noticed the water was low in our cups. When we were splitting the check to pay, she kept staring at us. seemed like she was rushing us to pay. But there weren’t any customers waiting.
I don’t know if I ordered the wrong items, but what we got is definitely simple to make and very overpriced. My friends were still hungry after sharing it. I won’t be back.

Cute little Korean restaurant in Keeaumoku next to Café Gangnam. I love how they decked out the place in splashes of RED: RED heart pillows, RED dishes, RED mugs, teddy bears in RED Stand tees. I’m alRE (a)Dy in love…
A friend and I ordered the dukbokki with ramen. It’s a meal meant for two with cabbage, chili sauce, a hardboiled egg, carrots, onions, and green onions. Our server cooked our food on a RED portable gas stove. Learned lesson: Don’t cook it by yourself if you don’t know what you’re doing, hahaha… Ended up spilling the good stuff everywhere. The server came back to help us. The dukbokki was a perfect amount of sweet and spicy for me. We ended up taking the rest to go. Didn’t know you could make fried rice out of the leftovers, but to be fair, we were the last and only customers at 8:30 p.m. and they were already cleaning up.
We got the RED bean patbingsoo for dessert. There was a lot of condensed milk. Loved the combination of the ice with red bean, mochi balls, pineapple chunks, and almond chips. You can’t go wrong with the more traditional bingsoo, but I can’t wait to try the other flavors next time!
They gave us a complimentary RED Stand heart-​shaped bento food picks. Aren’t you just RED with envy now? (Oops.)
