I eat fairly regularly at Min-ga. Im comfortable its pretty much the best Korean food in town.
Eating there is not for those who are looking for the ""restaurant experience"" of linens, a solicitous staff, or valet parking. Theyre in a strip mall with boring decor, and usually have sports on the TV. Rather, it's all about good food, authentic Korean home cooking. My current favourites are the Zam Bong (a spicy noodle soup), seafood bimbimbap, squid bokum, and zazang myun. For the less adventurous or the newbie- japchae, kalbi or bulgogi are a nice way to start. The kimchi sides that come with the meals are out of this world good. For a fun date-night dinner, consider the jeongol for two.
Also... they have a good lunch menu with good prices and nice variety. It's a huge amount of food, even at lunch, and I invariably come home with leftovers. The appetizers are overpriced, but it's easy to skip them.
They will vary the amount of heat, if youre nervous about how spicy Korean food can be. When Im there, there's rarely any non-Asians there, and the staff is (amusingly) careful to make sure I know what Im ordering.
MinGa is truly comfort food of a different sort.
Pros: excellent food and variety
