A
Jin Ju
One of only a handful of nouveau Korean restaurants in town, Jin Ju throws a culinary curveball by tempering Korean food to Western tastes. The minimalist candlelit interior of Jin Ju echoes softly with downbeat techno, and the stylish 30-something clientele enjoys mains like haemul pajon (a fried pancake stuffed with seafood) and kalbi (beef short ribs). The drinks menu must is the ‘soju- tini’, a cocktail made with soju, a Korean spirit distilled from sweet potatoes.

Crisp
Music pours from the stereo and cheap, delicious Korean fusions arrive from the kitchen at this cheerful cafe. The ‘Bad Boy Buddha’ bowl, a variation on bibimbap (mixed vegetables with rice), is one of the best $8 lunches in town. On second thought, maybe that award goes to Crisp’s burrito, filled with perfectly fried chicken in a savory soy-ginger sauce.
