Minato Sushi Japanese Restaurant
Wandering around Halifax, we saw a number of sushi spots. But which one? Being near the sea, I was looking for some good sushi, so how to tell? In this case, we got lucky and were overheard discussing options in the lobby of the hotel. One of the staff quickly opined that Minato's was the best spot in Halifax.
So off we went.
On walking in, I spotted the server carrying a big bowl of kimchi! Hmmm. Interesting. On sitting down and seeing the menu, not only was kimich offered, but a wide variety of Korean dishes. Turns out the owner was Korean. So, in addition to some edamame and sushi selections as appetizers, I had the Korean beef and an extra order of kimchi.
The beef (pulkogi, bulgogi, pick your spelling!) was excellent and the kimchi just right. The sushi was also fresh and well prepared.
Highly recommended.

Korean Grill House: DIY Grillin'
Korean Grill House
After leaving Little India, we saw The Korean Grill House right across the street. Good news, Mmm'mmm. Bad news, won't get to think about where to go to dinner the next night!
Those of you looking at the calender will note that the day we visited was the U.S. Thanksgiving Day holiday. Needless to say, I wasn't expecting to grill my own turkey or have pumpkin pie for dessert. It was just another day in Canada, but still the Korean Grill house was pretty packed (for a Thursday, a weeknight remember!). Luckily we didn't have to wait long for a seat and soon found ourselves at a table with a hot grill in front of us.
For appetizers, we had an order of fried spring rolls that were fine.
We also had an order of Chicken Bibm Bahb (a sort of Korean Pho or soup with a variety of ingredients) and, because the Korean Grill House is a "cook-it-yourself" place, the BBQ Meat Combo (chicken, beef, and pork). Along with the meat combo came a vegetable sampler (Kimchee, Bean Curd, Bean Sprout, Spicy Bean Sprout, Pickled Radish) that was really great (and they kept the kimchee coming as the dish got empty!).
It was a bit of work to keep the meat on the grill, make sure it was done, and eat all at the same time, but the end results were worth the effort. A very tasty meal at a very reasonable price.
(Note: The Korean Grill House has four other locations in the Toronto area).
