Bill Kim's trendy Asian fusion joint is a little shack hidden beneath the Blue Line train tracks. Locals crave the Belly Dog with Togarashi Fries (a hot dog topped with egg noodles, kimchi salsa and pickled green papaya), Tostones in a chimichurri sauce (deep fried plantains smothered with chimichurri sauce and lime juice) and brussels sprouts and chorizo. Most dishes run around $9 and are freshly prepared on the premises. There is both communal seating and individual tables so you can share your BYOB with others or your own party. It boasts a huge vegetarian following. Metered parking is not impossible but since the place is literally below the Blue Line, you don't have to venture far for your meal if you take the el.
