Buga Korean BBQ, San Diego, CA
We were in Kirk country two weeks ago, and the family wanted to eat Korean food. I wasn’t about to leave that up to chance so taking a cue from Kirk we decided on Buga Korean BBQ. We haven’t done fondue in a while, so the kids have missed cooking at the table. We do it at home but not too often either as we don’t have the proper equipment except for out of doors (more on that later). I was forewarned that the servings weren’t very generous but we got 3 dinners — shrimp, samgyupsal and bul gogi, with a promise to the kids that we’d order more if needed. When the banchan and the meats and shrimp came we thought we might need to add something else but halfway through dinner the kids declared that they were starting to get full. $70 for all this, for 2 (almost 3) adults and 3 kids? Turns out Buga was one of the less expensive places we ate at on this trip! Surprising indeed.
I wonder if they lose any clientele with this sign up front? The $55.99 refers to hotel rates next door to Buga, but if I were looking for cheap eats and just passing through quickly this would scare me off.
The kids all got turns cooking on the grill. Lovely evening for a family night out, and Buga was an excellent choice. Thanks so much, Kirk!
