Is in ISSAQUAH! Hello! The town that is famous for little more than producing one of the greatest indie bands, Modest Mouse, is also home to some very fine ddokboggie.
Perfection in ddokboggie is twofold. First the ddok. It must be cooked al dente. Not too hard, not too soft. I’m not a fan of the ajumas who plop down a plate of non-pliable ddok drowning in a watery red broth. I like it chewy, right away, only to get softer as my polishing off every last toothsome bite is in progress.
Then there is the sauce. A matter of personal taste I guess. I prefer sauce with the thickness of the tomato sauce in a can of spaghetti-o’s. A gentle weight in the mouth, a nappe any chef would appreciate, with the right balance of heat, sweet, and savory.
People, I am giving you my word. This stuff is it!

Issaquah has a few gems…one of my favorites being Fischer Meats. They have really yummy chicken pepperoni sticks, freshly ground burgers with bacon INSIDE, and marinated flank steak, among other great carnivorous surprises.

Ok, I pass by this place everyday but I wasn’t sure what the food would be like so I never tried it. Is everything else pretty good there or is it only the
Ddokboggie. I have a craving for Korean bbq wrapped in lettuce so if you think this place is decent I will take the kids there for dinner this week.

It’s been years since I’ve eaten Korean (I think it was bibimbap (?)). Thanks for the recommendation.
