Typically, when we recommend a place to eat, we are offering up a name. The name of a restaurant, the name of a bar, however obscure the establishment itself may be, it is at the very least identifiable (and as a result googleable and yelpable too). This time around however, there actually is no name to offer, so a location is pretty much all that you’re going to have to go on.

Anyone who has visited DC is familiar with the ubiquitous yellow carts that are deployed daily throughout the District to meet the hotdog/soda/snack food needs of the masses. They are everywhere, and everywhere that they are, they are identical. So imagine my surprise when on my way to work the other day I passed by just such a yellow cart, and was greeted not by the usual morass of potato chips and drink coolers, but the aroma of delicious Korean food frying away in a pan.

Yes, every (work)day, just off the intersection of 14th and L Street this anonymous little oasis of savory street-side food can be found providing a terrific lunch to the handful of area workers hip to its existence. The menu is delightfully simple; beef and chicken in spicy and mild varieties, as well as a smattering of no more than 3 or 4 other options. Each is served over rice with a side of kimchi for no more than $8.


…and that’s really all there is to it. It’s simple, quick, and tasty. What more could you ask for?
