A Haiku in College Station
Afternoon leaves fall,
family of three gathers
by hot noodle soups.
How d’ya like my first ever haiku, inspired by a linner (lunch/dinner) at Haiku? ๐ 5-7-5 syllables (not on, though), with kigo (seasonal reference) and kireji (cutting word) too… You can’t say I didn’t try.
This was the easiest Japanese/Korean restaurant we could get to while driving on University. It’s more Japanese than Korean, evident from the short section of bibimbaps and whutnot among everything sushi. Seeing how this weather cries for soups, Mom decides on some piping kalbi tang (๊ฐ๋นํ). It’s not as oomphing good as the one I had at Bi Won in Santa Clara, just how many Koreans live in College station after all (*), but it sure is satisfying with loads of egg in a beef bone stock.
The basic banchan set (clockwise from left): baechu kimchi, shredded kohlrabi, sigeumchi namul (์๊ธ์น ๋๋ฌผ) (blanched spinach), and kongnamul (์ฝฉ๋๋ฌผ) (boiled soybean sprouts). Kimchi and rice go a long way.
Dad and I side with more noodles than broth. Such as the chubby strings in the beef udon, where short strips of chewy black konbu (dried seaweed) and plump mushroom halves dominate the flavors.
Or the al dente soba noodle stir-fried with shrimps and green onions, where sesame oil and tonkatsu sauce deliver a complete savory affair. Haiku’s yakisoba is as good as any yakisoba I’ve had, but it would have been even better if they’d tossed me double this portion. Maybe triple… I was hungry, ya know…
Address: Haiku Japanese Restaurant
607 E. University Drive, Suite 100
College Station, TX 77840
(979) 846-7900
Shrimp yakisoba: 9.99
Beef udon: 8.95
Kalbi tang: 11.99
Total: $33.48
(*) The answer is 1026, or 1.51% of the city population, according to the 2000 census. For comparison, the Korean population counts 1916, or 1.9% in Berkeley, and 1780, or 0.4% in Oakland, also in 2000.
Interestingly, Vietnamese counts only 274, or 0.4% in College Station, but the ratio of Korean to Vietnamese restaurants is 2:3. It’s awesome that people like pho, but yo Aggies, eat some kimchi and gogi too! Mkay?
This is a topic close to my heart cheers, where are your contact details though?
