Post #2 - February 18th, 2009, 4:20 pmI had a delicious lunch at Ttowa last year and have been looking for a chance to go back with a larger group in order to sample more of their menu.

TTOWA Kimchee Fried Rice with Meat
This fried rice, recommended by our helpful, friendly waitress turned out to be the pick dish of our lunch. Also, as you can see below, they are running a Winter Special where you get a free order of dumplings if you order more than $20 in other food. We had no problem reaching that level with just two people. I can't imagine it is much of a barrier for the ELG, either.

I know, I know...most people I work with are on Eastern time. Somewhat problematic for 1) those who are not morning people and 2) those who would like to take a relaxed lunch out once in awhile. I fall into both camps.Mhays wrote:grits wrote:I'd like to go.

TTOWA has been on my list to try. I must keep my priorities straight. Dumplings over work!

Post #24 - March 17th, 2009, 11:37 amI'm going to have to drop out again. Ack.
Sorry, I'm starting a new project and I'm shadowing someone on the East coast. Unfortunately not the time to take a longish lunch. (Today I got 15 minutes.)

Post #27 - March 18th, 2009, 10:00 amSomehow, I'm now saddled with my husband who I thought was working. I suppose, since we had a couple people drop out, I ought to bring him along...

Post #30 - March 18th, 2009, 2:53 pmThe power of ordering in large numbers was proved again today as a wide range of food was had at TTOWA. There were some high points and some chewy points, but I think it was a generally enjoyable meal. Perhaps the highest point was our warm hostess who came from the Korean-Jewish-Italian tradition of, "Eat. Eat. Here's some more food."
Wang mandu
Gogi mandu ?
Maewun mandu ?
Fried chicken, without and with sauce
Kimchi fried rice
Fabulous homemade spinach noodles with squid
Impromptu and gratis sweet fried dumplings loaded with red bean paste
I'm sorry I didn't get a photo of our hostess, but I think someone else might have snagged that - as well as some of the other fine dishes we had.
