Style Weekly Goes To Ejay Rin
I’m focusing on the good and thus I give you this bit from the Style Weekly review of Ejay Rin.
Certain elements are exquisite. The house-made kimchi ($5) is the best I’ve had since I visited Seoul. The blend of garlic and chilies hits a good balance of spice and flavor, and the short aging process keeps the cabbage crisp, which makes this version excellent for kimchi neophytes. The pork belly appearing in a steam bun ($8) and the pork ramen ($8 and $12) is cooked to tender perfection. The buns, which like the noodles, broths and breads are made in-house daily, are a great complement to the wide range of fillings.
I am a neophyte when it comes to this type of food, so compare it to nothing. Have had dinner there 3 times, and lunch once. It is just remarkable to me how much FLAVOR is in the simplest thing. Everything I’ve had is delicious. You can eat a lot of types of things and not feel overly stuffed or bad later. The prices are good. Happy they are on our side of the river.
I thought the pork ramen was phenomenal. Just the ticket for a cool fall day. We did take-out over the weekend and were bowled over by how good it was. This is a fantastic addition to the neighborhood.
