Restaurant Review: MIHO Korean Restaurant

This week on pandagrub we are going to be a restaurant review on MIHO which is a Korean restaurant in Garden Grove. MIHO's address is 9735 Garden Grove Blvd. 

The panda in the picture above is named Beanie. Beanie is very excited to be going to MIHO and trying samgyetang which is a young chicken stuffed with rice. The chicken is in a simple chicken broth. This is a Korean comfort food. Koreans usually eat this on the hottest day of summer. 

 In any Korean restaurant you will receive side dishes called banchan. My favorite banchan is kimchi. Beanie is sitting with two kinds of kimchi. Kimchi is a spicy pickled cabbage. The kimchi on the right is the traditional cabbage kimchi. The one on the left is a radish kimchi.

 Now Beanie is sitting with some spinach. The spinach is flavored with garlic. 

 Finally for the last side dish of the day, Beanie is sitting with spicy bean sprouts and soy-glazed potatoes.

 The first entree has finally arrived. Beanie is eating a leek pancake that is dipped in soy sauce. Beanie thought that the pancake had too much leek inside of the pancake and not enough batter. Of course this didn't stop my brother from eating most of it.

Finally! Beanie's dream has come true! The samgyetang has arrived! The broth is bubbling right before our eyes.

Inside the chicken, Beanie has found a treat. The young chicken is stuffed with sweet rice. The tender young chicken and the sweet rice go perfectly together. 

In the picture above, Beanie is showing us some of the herbs included in the broth: jujubes,garlic, baby onion, and ginseng. Ginseng is a Korean root plant that is similar to a radish.

My family and I went to MIHO for my mom's birthday. 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!
