The best Korean restaurant, with all of the appetizers (especially the pancakes, fish cakes, and sweetened potatoes) to start and reasonably priced entrees. My favorite dishes are spicy BBQ pork and spicy seasoned bar rice cake (with ramen).

If you're free during lunch and are willing to wait in a line, this place has amazing Italian pasta. The choices are different every day, and when they run out that's it. Employees working in downtown are the typical crowd in the queue outside. Order an appetizer and a pasta, then find any available seat (sometimes with other parties) and wait for the experience.
