Postby SauceSupreme on Sat, 22 Nov 2008 - 10:08pm Du Kuh Bee used to be pretty hard to find, but about a month and a half ago they got new signage. When Flynn and I first drove around Nakwon trying to find it, we passed by an unmarked door in between Nakwon and the salon next to it. We both just assumed it was a service entrance to one or the other. Nope, it turned out to be the entrance to Du Kuh Bee and their hand-pulled noodles.
As I mentioned in the blog post, the noodles with black pea sauce is the way to go, because otherwise there's just waaaay too much stir fry oil being added to the mix.
(And as an added bonus, they're open late.)
Postby mabell on Mon, 24 Nov 08 - 7:21am Wow, I was sitting here eating some noodles I bought in the refrigerator section of FuBonn today, thinking I made a tasty dish. Then, I see this photo. I'm ready to eat all over again. What did you try other than noodles?
Postby SauceSupreme on Mon, 24 Nov 08 - 8:36am I've had the kim chee tofu, two of the noodle dishes, and the dumplings. I'd love to go back and try their soups, and especially now that it's wintery, the o-deng (fried fish cake) soup will be really nice.
Postby Tanuki on Wed Dec 03, 2008 7:42 pm Is that dish listed as Cha-JangMyun orJaJangMyun?
The sauce looks similar to a Korean-Chinese dish I do... but I am used to seeing it done with more vegetables.
A really good variation is JajangBop- same black bean sauce-usually w/pork and seafood scraps thrown in but over rice with egg.
Postby SauceSupreme on Wed Dec 03, 2008 8:22 pm There are Korean characters listed on the menu, but in Latin alphabet it's only listed as the English translation of whatever the dish is called.
UPDATE: Yes it's jajangmyeon.

Postby Dragondazd on Fri Jan 02, 2009 7:22 pm Dude I thought Tanuki's jajangmyun was going to kill me when I realized almost posthumously it was hot
I've never seen veggies in that aside from onion and a little green onion.
I believe I went to this hole-in-the-wall once, trying to hit Nekwon before they opened for dinner. I don't remember what I had there, but I was kind of underwhelmed. That might just be my background since I"m more used to Korean-Chinese than Chinese-Korean. He was a nice enough guy and I'd consider going back if it weren't so far away.
Postby Tanuki on Fri Jan 02, 2009 8:19 pm Wait... are you telling me chilis don't count as vegetable
???

Postby SauceSupreme on Fri Jan 09, 2009 9:27 am Flynn and I ducked in for a late night snack (midnight on a Thursday night). I wanted to try the o-deng (오뎅, a fishcake soup) and of course we had to also get some of the hand-pulled noodles. We ordered the pork noodles, and also an order of the beef ribs. The noodles and the ribs both were quite rich, and so the ultra-clean broth of the soup was a welcome contrast. The noodles still had an excellent "toothy" quality to them, but if it weren't for the o-deng, the heavy oil component would have been too much. I highly recommend getting a soup dish to help counteract the severe richness of the noodles.
Postby SauceSupreme on Sat Jan 24, 2009 9:51 pm Me, Pez and the Girlie were sitting at Teardrop last night around 1:30am tossing around ideas for late night grub. I knew that DKB was open, but that we would have to hurry. Of course, me being a rock star, I called ahead and placed orders for us so that food would be ready when we arrived.
The consensus was, when you're drunk and looking for late night food, there's worse places to end up, but there really is no finesse in any of the dishes, and some dishes like the tofu kim chee is just down right a mess on a plate. We did order a meat dish to go along with the o-deng soup and the ja jang myeon.
Around 2:30am or so, we were kicked out. Big props to the Pezster for being the driver last night. We got to see a few, let's say, colorful establishments, among whom DKB fit right in.
