Korean Lunch Special @ Bowl & BBQ

Bowl & BBQ's a great "Lunch Special" spot if you happen to be in The Land-Beyond-O'Hare....
and want some tasty Korean food.
It just so happens that many of the Vendors I use to compliment the fabrication of my Custom Steel Furniture
exist in either Bensenville or Elk Grove Village-
neither of which are exactly "Food-Meccas"- but
if you are looking for ANYTHING MANUFACTURED on the other hand-
great places to drive to from Chicago!

Bowl & BBQ was reccd to me by "my" Korean Laser-Cutting Vendor- where they go to lunch several times a week.
When I asked what to order there- without hesitation - I was instructed to order the "Gam Ja Tang" (No.15)
an $8.95 Lunch Special- that comes with a very nice assortment of Banchan- as well as Rice and a hot and tasty Miso Soup.

After an array of the Banchan arrived a boiling-burbling-bowl-0-yumm was served to me......

Gam Ja Tang is a savory and spicy broth- with bone-in-chuncks-o-Pork...& potatoes
offering a warming and lip-smackin' culinary experience.
One of my personal criteria I have for a great ethnic "joint" is the ratio of "gringos" to those of that
country's flag- and in this case there were only one other table of "round-eyes" present at Lunch Time- and lots of tables of workers and people on their SmartPhones conducting business and Banchan simultaneously....

The interior is pretty much standard--the service warm and genuine- with The lovely Korean ladies wishing me a good-day"
& "Bye-Bye" on the way out.
Make sure to add this place to your list!
