Headed to a movie in TST, so we stopped at Hungry Korean for a very early meal at 6:00pm. It was still rather crowded.I should warn you about not being fooled by the restaurant's claims of being "healthy." The claim is based on a bunch of nonsensical stuff like "we use ginseng" and "no MSG." If you notice, they serve lots of fried, fatty, greasy things with eggs and high-sodium sauces. Superstitiously avoiding MSG isn't going to magically make it healthy.I'm a huge fan of Korean fried dumplings-

I'm a huge fan of Korean fried dumplings-- easily my favorite kind in the world. These were an OK rendition of that-- they were still pretty good, but not as amazing as they can be. They came with a spicy sauce that seemed like a mix of soy sauce and chili oil, maybe? The sauce was definitely more salty than spicy. Good, B+
Confession: I never really liked bibimbap that much when I've had it before. It's got lots of ingredients I like, but somehow it never really moved me. The bibimbap at Hungry Korean, I will say, is actually pretty good. The beef was great but in such small pieces and with a small total amount. The crispy rice along the edges was obviously the star of the show. Good, B+We also got the Banchan for +$14-- totally not worth it. There's a miniscule amount of kimchi (and mediocre kimchi at that), some cold mashed potatoes, and a few limp, halfhearted fishcakes. Literally every other Korean restaurant outdoes this sad, sad effort. Poor, F.
The kimchi pancake looks pretty plain, but I was very impressed with the Hungry Korean version. I feel like often the kimchi flavor is just missing. Here, the pancake was nice and crisp, with definite sour tones. Great both flavor and texture-wise. Great, AI would definitely come back to the Hungry Korean. The food was good-to-great, with the exception of the Banchan. Several other things on the menu looked enticing. It wasn't very spicy, but that's sort of how Korean food is. Overall: Good, B+

They have beer, but it's that weak Hite stuff.
