So heard about the new Bori opening down in the Montrose area, had to go try them out.
It is truly nestled in the neighborhood because next door is the old KPFT station (before they moved to Caroline street) and Alliance Francaise Houston.
Like the Bori this is a Korean BBQ place where they grill it for you. You sit down and they bring over the banchan, we ordered Seafood Pancake, and they brought over kimchee, fennel salad, lettuce for you to wrap your meat like you see in Kdrama.
Like the other Bori - the banchan are small in portion and in few choice. Now, that said, there's a lot of food coming.
Left side has all the sauce to dip, and meat from the Combo set. We chose, Pork Belly, Boneless Short Rib and Bulgogi.
This is Beef Tartar that is only available at this location. It has avocado and a fried seaweed, but to be honest, just the beef tartar alone is just fine. It sides on top of a fried chip, but again, without it, it's just fine.
For ordering the combo, it came with a Kimchee Stew and Steam egg, both are super hot because those rock bowls capture heat like nothing else. With all of that, that is alot of food.
I will say, Bori 2's meat quality is not as good as Bori 1. I recall the quality was superb, which made me happy to pay the price that I did, but here is just ok. Now, that said, they're still in soft opening phase, so until they fully open, we get a discount on the tab. That's a welcome sight, since they have pretty much all new staff, not alot of staff came over from the OG.
They are surrounded by residential houses, so be careful and look out for the signs. Also be courteous to the residents nearby because they don't have anywhere else to park. They do have a valet onsite if you need to, but if you go early enough, you can park on the street.
