 Steak was alright but I wouldn't recommend the creamed spinach to my worst enemy: Unpleasant, gloppy texture and overly seasoned with white pepper (among other reasons).   Overall, dinner was so-so.

Chung-dam

By Lionina - 10:05 PM
Chun-dam is a very good, very pricey Korean restaurant with with very good service. Some of the dishes are unique: the pickled white kimchi bosaam for instance, sweet potato shikhye, the beef "carpaccio". And some dishes are just surprisingly good: acorn jello panchan, and macaroni salad (yes, the macaroni salad). ...
