ajumama

ajumama  is a korean street food cart that specializes in items that are a little deeper on the menu than simplekimchiand bibimbop. proprietor laura lee makes delicious food that possesses a heart full of seoul (soul). the signature menu item is a pajeon, a korean pancake with green onions and a variety of different fillings. the pancakes are made with egg; there is no vegan option. the nelson is a pajeon made with mixed vegetables. the veggies were different on two different visits. both times they were prepared with green onions. there was roasted corn in the pancake on a second visit. the soy vinegar sauce gives the pajeon a salty, savory explosion of flavor. sometimes, a vegan rice porridge is on the menu. i have not sampled it. the hodduk is pretty much the best dessert that i had never heard of before trying it this summer, and i am not certain how i lived this long without one. it is a soft pocket stuffed with nuts and molten brown sugar. it's hard to eat just one. ajumama see

i grew-up eating korean food, so i was really excited about this food truck, but it left me disappointed. the menu was so hard to read, i know my way around korean food but the menu on the side of the truck made little sense. the service was lacking... badly! i was so sad to find out thatkimchiwasn't served with the entrees. when i asked for some, i was charged $3, and given about 3 tablespoons of kimchi. the entree prices were rather high as well, $9-$12 for very small portions. the flavors of the food were bland!!! not what i expect from korean food.
