Sounds interesting. I'll have to try that next time. My favorite thing about Yechon is that it is open 24 hours.

Also Bibimbap or my preference dolsot bibimbap
soon dooboo = soft... hot (temp) and spicy and can get with beef, seafood (prawns, muscles, clams, etc), mixed (seafood + beef) or plain. there are a few other varieties and you can request varying levels of spiciness, from white to medium to hot to very hot. don't forget to break your egg in the bowl right when it comes out!
There are lots of tofu houses in LA, but not too many in the DC area. A good one is Vit Gol (Lighthouse Tofu). They have restaurants in Annandale and one in MD (Gaithersburg?) somewhere.

Soot Bull Jeep (숯불집), the latter still uses charcoal grills and gets really smoky, so make sure you don't wear anything too nice.
I ate at ChoSun on Tuesday night. It was very good. It is at 3330 Olympic Blvd just past St Andrew (I think) if headed west.

Also keeps you from getting the bird flu and SARS.

I feel like the quality has been gone down at Heebin. We used to go there fairly often, but after a few not very good experiences, have put it on moratorium for a while. Last time I had hwe dup bap from there if made me sick to my stomach all evening.
