Sammy Chon’s is this year’s reason to stay away from Charles Plaza. You’ll start with tea and traditional Korean side dishes, or banchan ($5 at lunch, $7 at dinner), like napa cabbage, kimchi and a sweet black bean salad called kongjaban. Then move onto KFC — Korean Fried Chicken, that is (4 pieces for $5.99). Sammy’s is so crispy you’ll go AWOL on Colonel Sanders, we promise. In other things meaty, we’re proponents of the barbecue short ribs in K–Town’s special sauce ($16.95). And you must, of course, have the Koagie ($7.95), a Korean hoagie; whether you choose chicken or beef is up to you. Wanna go late night? If there's enough demand, Sammy's will stay open 'til 3 a.m. P.S. They don’t have a liquor license yet, but Sammy’s is planning to open a bar on its second floor. Keep your eyes peeled.

Don't Miss: The signature Koagie (save room or share — it’s huge) Skip: Seafood soup — the broth’s a little fishy
