Bap till you drop! Meat-mad Korean kitchens don’t offer many alternatives for vegetarians, let alone hardcore vegans. Yet Sam Lee and Janet Yun’s modish spot on the fringes of Forest Hill manages to do just that with a lineup of meal-in-one rice casseroles that come topped with everything from spicy beef bulgogi to exotic mushrooms and seeds. And don’t miss their trendy Korean tacos, apparently “very popular in New York and Los Angeles.”
