On the first bite, the vinegar in the sauce rises as vapor and makes you cough. But once you cross that horizon, you'll discover a whole new world of guobaorou that's crispy, moist, and chewy. You could even say it's a completely different dish from the guobaorou sold at malatang restaurants. If you want a new guobaorou experience, I recommend visiting. Korea University students line up during the semester, so I'd recommend going during school breaks. The Hunan fried rice is also good, with a slight kick and distinct, fluffy grains of rice. The beef noodles taste like rich galbitang with wheat noodles added. To order the guobaorou, Hunan fried rice, and beef noodles all at once, I recommend bringing two friends—even ones you don't like.
