Real talk on Korean food spots

If you’re staying in Miami longer, try heading to the Doral area on a weeknight for Korean food,it’s less touristy and has some real-deal spots like Bon Ga. They even have a casual café nearby where you can grab Korean dessert and bubble tea to cool down after the spicy stuff.

Also, don’t underestimate the small side dishes (panchan). I once showed up at a no-name spot in North Miami and left obsessed with their kimchi variety alone. It’s a good idea to order a few small plates to share before jumping into the main courses. Trust me, you’ll enjoy the variety a lot more that way.
