REVIEWS:
I know this joint is well know for its sul-lung-tang ($8.99) which is a broth cooked with beef bone served with rice, thin slices of beef, and rice noodles, but for the true foodies out there try the traditional Korean wrap, or “ssäm.” Gahm Mi Oak has many different variations on ssäm, for example Kenneth and I got the thinly sliced pork and raw oysters ($18) but the menu offers boiled squid, raw beef tartar and Dogani Moochim Gelatin of cow knee cooked and served with Korean-style vegetables and served with Gam Mee special sauce. All are accompanied with lightly pickled napa cabbage, spicy seasoned shredded radish, and three different types of dipping sauce.
It’s a must if your want to experience the true Korean way of eatin, not too hard even for a first timer, just grab a medium to large piece of cabbage and place a slice of pork on it, then pickled radish and your choice of sauce, roll it up and place into mouth. It’s a party in you’re the flavor of the tender pork mingling with the pickled radish all wrapped in the soothing crisp texture of cabbage is amazing! The one dish was large enough for 2 people which would of helped us when ordering but the sul-lung-tang was a nice addition with our ssäm dish, usually most warps are over powering with intense garlicky/chili flake taste one needs to compensate with some rice or ice cold beer.
