The January chill is definitely upon us, but nothing could keep us from venturing out to celebrate Liz's birthday! Her friend found an awesome Korean BBQ place in the West Village: Do Hwa.
We were impressed by this place from the moment we walked in. The entryway is such that you are greeted by the fabulous bar with hip backlighting, a movie projected on the wall, a blackboard with the day's drink specials, and double rows of bar stools so no one feels crowded. The host welcomed us immediately and checked our bulky coats so we could enjoy a drink while waiting for the rest of the group. The combinations they came up with for their cocktails are extremely creative, and the names are quite creative as well: the Hahd Ahnold, A Wrinkle in Time, Fall Be Kind... check out the drink list on the website and you will see! :)
Once the whole group was there, we were led to our table and the grilling fun began! We decided to get the Grill Table for 4 since it comes with set appetizers and marinated meats. Since there were 6 of us, we added on a bimbimbap and a salmon entree to make sure there was enough to go around. But we needn't have worried! This place is quite generous with their servings and we all had plenty.
Appetizers: HEYMUL PAJUN (seafood/pepper pancake) and
JAP CHAE (sweet potato glass noodles)
the meat on the grill in the table (inside that gold rim)
Then, in honor of the birthday, DJ sneakily ordered the sugar dusted beignets so we could put a candle in it for the birthday girl. :) It wound up being the perfect dessert to share with a big group!
Overall, Do Hwa was an awesome spot for a group dinner. The service was so prompt and friendly, the food delightful, and the process of grilling your own food at the table is always fun with pals. We spent the whole way home trying to figure out who we could bring there next!
