Black Sesame Irving

Black Sesame was the closest place to the hotel I am staying at where a person could get their fix for Korean ramen. While the inside of the restaurant itself isn't certainly anything to write home about, the food more than makes up for the lack of ambiance easily making finds like thjs the best part of venturing out for new places to try. A group of my friends and I were greeted with very warm and friendly service. The menu is varied, containing sushi, ramen, and even some Chinese dishes. I went with a classic Korean ramen with seafood and requested extra spicy. I also ordered a side of kimchi because any good Korean place can be measured only by how good the kimchi, ramen, or bibimbap is. The kimchi was a definite homerun, with a pleasant level of acidity and spice from the fermentation. The seafood in the ramen was not only a very generous portion and contained shrimp, clams, and calamari. I also give my regards to the chef for accommodating the level of spice I wanted because I prefer Korean ramen super spicy and not only did the broth have a great flavor, it also had a very nice kick of heat. My friends seemed to also enjoy their food as well with them ordering ramen, kimchi fried rice, lo mein, edamame, goyza potstickers, and even a bento box. The only small downfall was the restaurant was out of tapioca pearls for boba but nothing I can't solve by investing into my own factory to supply the world with much needed tapioca pearls. Overall the experience was excellent and prices were generous! My meal totaled about $22 which isn't bad considering the portions are massive! If you have an itch for Korean food, Black Sesame is a must try if you are in the area!
