| Original Korean BBQ Buffet
Choengwun if probably the original Korean BBQ Buffet that has been around for the last 20+ years. Although there are many all-you-can eat meat restaurants in Ktown, not all of them have a buffet. It's also nice to have control of how much meat you really want, since you get the meat yourself.
 The salad bar includes greens, fruits, and jello! Wouldn't be a buffet without the red jello!
Buffet also includes popular Korean dishes such as japchae, kimchi, mook, etc...
A bonus treat is the nyengmyun... Very good and you can have all that you want!
One thing I enjoy about going to Choengwun is that I get control of how much food, what type of food
I want, and I don't have to wait for a waiter to bring it to me (or forget to bring it)!
I always like to end my meal with the various jooks they have. Try to pumpkin. It's DELICIOUS!!!!

| Newest addition to Koreatown. Here's a little background of shabu-shabu
[SHAH-boo SHAH-boo] A Japanese dish consisting of raw meat (usually paper-thin slices of beef) and raw vegetables cooked by each diner at the table in a pot of hot broth. The freshly cooked ingredients can be dipped into a variety of sauces provided for additional flavor. Once the meat and vegetables have been cooked and eaten, the broth, sometimes with noodles added, is then served. The name is said to come from the sound that's made as the meat is gently swished through the broth.
The dish originated in the 13th century as a way for Genghis Khan to efficiently feed his soldiers. Khan's troops gathered around a large pot and cooked together. Thinly sliced meat was used for its short cooking time, which allowed the Mongolian army to conserve its limited supply of fuel.
shabu-shabu was introduced in Japan in the 20th century with the opening of a shabu-shabu restaurant "Suehiro" in Osaka. The name of Shabu-shabu was named when Suehiro served it. After that, Suehiro registered the name of shabu-shabu as a trademark in 1955. The cuisine rapidly spread through Asia and is now a popular dish in Western countries as well. Together with sukiyaki, shabu-shabu is a common dish in tourist hot-spots, especially in Tokyo, but also in local Japanese neighborhoods (colloquially called "Little Tokyos") in countries such as the United States.
The bar has individualized build-in burners
Vegetables for the Gengis Khan. The shabu-shabu menu has various greens, fish cakes, udon noodles, mushrooms, and tofu
Genghis Khan has it's own special soup base
Khan offers different dipping sauces. Ask for the chili sauce, it's a HOT, HOT, HOT!!
At the end of the meal, enjoy some porridge
It was a perfect way to end the meal
The proportions are generous, the atmosphere is jazzy and relaxing. Great place to bring your co-workers who want to experiment with something new. They also have semi-private rooms available. Other items on the menu include: shrimp dumpling, sweet & sour shrimp, the shabu-shabu has variety in meats (they even have Kobe beef). For the health conscious people.... Khan does not use MSG!

| If you've never had dweji bosam, Kobawoo is the place to go. Dweji bosam is a dish that contains, napa cabbage leaves, pickled radish, jalapenos, spicy radish mix, salty baby shrimps, and most importantly boiled pork. You wrap everything with the pickled napa cabbage or radish. It really is delicious. It makes my mouth water just thinking about it. This dish is their specialty, but they do have other dishes as well. I recommend, the haemool pajeon (seafood korean pancake), jaengbang gooksoo (noodle salad), haemool chigwe, and for the courageous ones, chonggookjang (a very strong miso base soup). Only have the chonggookjang if you don't mind stinking for the rest of the day (it's worth it).
