BOOLDaK / ブルダック

Last week, when I went to check out this place, I discovered that they don't do lunch on the weekends. Today, being a Friday, and amazingly, Mikako having the day off, we decided to go here for lunch. Mikako had seen this restaurant featured on a news piece and as we are lovers of spicy foods, we had to go check it out for ourselves. The name of the restaurant is called "BOOLDaK" and is located in Shibuya. "Bool" apparently means flame-broiled while "dak" is chicken. Yes, the name of the restaurant is also the name of one of their menu items. I tried the "bool-dak" set, which includes salad, miso soup, and all-you-can eat rice. Mikako decided to try the "bool-deji" which is pork. We also opted for the spicy version.

先週この店を訪ねたら、週末にランチサービスがやってないのを分かった。今日、平日の金曜日だったじ、美香子も珍しく休みだったので、二人の昼食はここで決定。美香子がテレビを見てたら、ある番組が激旨の料理特集をやってった。その番組でこの店が紹介されました。 店の名前は「ブルダック」で渋谷のマークシティの隣にある。「ブル」は韓国語で直火焼きの意味で、「ダック」は鶏肉。僕はブルダックセットを注文しました。セットにはサラダ、味噌汁、とお変わり自由のご飯付。美香子はブルデジを頼みました。「デジ」は韓国語で豚肉の意味。もちろん私たちは辛口を頼みました。

The sign says the pride of their restaurant is their Korean styled flame-broiling which makes their chicken and pork very tender, along with their secret sauce to top off their signature dishes.

The main dish seems to be a little lacking in the portions department, but if you consider the all-you-can-eat rice, along with the salad and miso soup, it's sure to make you full enough. Mikako and I being lovers of spicy food, didn't find the dish to be as spicy as the signs claimed. Maybe we're just too used to eating more spicy foods than the average. The Sechuan place I went to a couple of weeks was much spicier than here. But I tell you, you can get hooked on eating just the booldak and booldeji alone. They would make great snacks with beer!

メインデッシュの量が少ない感じもしましたが、セットのご飯がお変わり自由とゆうことで、結構満腹になると思います。でも辛いもの好きの私たちは激辛とは全然感じなかった。辛いものに慣れてるせいか、本当に思ったより辛くはなかった。私たちには普通の辛さと思いました。味はバツグン。本当に美味しい。単品でブルダックとブルデジが山ほど頼みたいくらい。ビールのあつまみにはもってこい一品と思います。
