Namu, Again
I previously tried to get some Namu Korean tacos, but by the time I got to the front of the line, they were sold out. Sold out? Then they MUST be delicious. A week later, I was back at the Namu stand at The Ferry Building.
I met with my friend, Wendy, and we both waited patiently in the heat during the lunch rush. Our game plan was to order two Korean tacos (2 for $4) and we'd split the special of the day, sloppy chosun ($10). This is definitely not your typical taco, not even similar to Kogi's (see post). Instead of a tortilla to hold the ingredients, Namu uses two sheets of toasted (Japanese and Korean - don't know the difference) seaweed. The mixture was filled with rice, kalbi short ribs, daikon and kimchee salsa and kimchee remoulade. It's small (four bites and you're done), but it was jam packed with flavor. The sloppy chosun was Namu's version of the sloppy joe - ground beef cooked in tomato and kimchee puree on a grilled bun and served with shichimi potato chips. It was a little on the dry side considering the sloppy joes I eat are seriously sloppy with a ton of sauce. But, it had good flavor and the potato chips were extra crispy with a kick of heat. Loved the Korean tacos and would definitely go back for more. Want to give them a try? Namu is only at The Ferry Building on Thursdays. Follow @NamuSF to see their specials and other happenings.
