Kisa Sikdang

Kisa Sikdang is a spacious Koreatown restaurant (previously seafood palace Oyabun ) where the menu consists of large set meals with a choice of protein, plus rice and lots of banchan—an homage to Korea’s “taxi driver” restaurants where quick, affordable spreads were designed to fill up cabbies in a hurry. The bulgogi is pleasantly onion-y, the spicy stir-fried squid is great for building ssam with perilla leaves, and banchan options like glass noodles, jeon, and wood ear mushrooms are all solid. A filling lunch at Kisa Sidang costs under $20, and dinner costs under $30. Though we have other spots we like better for traditional Korean cooking , if you’re looking for a restaurant large enough to fit a group and feed everyone without maxing out your card, Kisa is a good option.
