This was our third month of our “Dinner Club” and Korean BBQ was my choice. I must say I think all 10 of us enjoyed it. Tammy suggested Hae Woon Dae on Buford Hwy. OTP (outside the Perimeter, for non-Atlantans).
We were led to a low table where we sat on the floor , after removing our shoes. We all ordered Korean beers (Hite) and orders of dumplings as appetizers. They were very good! I ordered Bulgogi which is very common Korean dish made of marinated beef in a Korean sauce. Don’t ask me what’s in the Korean sauce, that’s how the menu reads. Keoni ordered chicken in a spicy Korean sauce and they were both very good. Tammy had shrimp and some ordered short ribs. The meat is cooked on a grill in the middle of the table, so you can participate. They began bringing all the side dishes (kimchi) and bowls of white rice and plates of romaine lettuce. Kimchi is any number of different vegetables that are pickled or fermented. Some that we had were cucumbers, bok choy, spinach, sweet potatoes and daikon. I also love the sliced jalepenos and whole garlic cloves that will keep all Vampires away! You just put your meat, rice, kimchi and sauces and wrap up! So delicious!
What a fun experience we had trying new foods and meeting new friends!

Yes. Hae Woon Dae was so much fun. I ate 3 raw garlic cloves, wow how yummy! My shrimp were succulent as well as the mushrooms that were sauteed with them. I really enjoyed the spicy side dishes and relaxing on the floor with great company. Looking forward to our next meeting. Can’t wait!
