Son of Egg

Stopped by with my family on our way home north. Husband had the mix-well beef bibimbap, daughter had the kimbap with fried chicken, and I had the chicken rice bowl. Rice was perfect and so was the fried chicken with the sauce and a small side salad. Very good comfort food. We enjoyed beef dumplings as our appetizer.

Small space with counter space to eat and 2 large tables to seat a group of 4 each. A selection of Korean snacks were available to bring home.

The small restaurant is a typical location of the Lark Street area. A few tables spaced apart. The hostess/server was so charming and friendly. She answered all of our questions about the cuisine. You can eat here inexpensively but we wanted to try a little of everything. Great flavors and decent portions. Just be aware of parking. They seemed to be doing a great takeout as well. I was sad that my homemade lemonade slipped and fell out of my hands 😔 Even bought a "Son of Egg" little wool hat for my granddaughter 🧡

Food was good and filling although I did not expect the spicy barbecue sauce on the chicken. Cost for food in the picture was about $13.

I fell in love with the concept of the Son of Egg the first time I spied it on my arrival in Albany. I was not disappointed. Good coffee and an unusual but delicious omelette was eaten in a relaxed atmosphere. Prices were great too. Highly recommended.

I always get the rice bowls and they’re just amazing. The only small problem I have is the rice itself. This isn’t a problem with Son of Egg, but pretty much most Japanese or Korean rice bowls, is that the rice itself is bland. So unless you mix it up thoroughly, you’re gonna get a mouthful of steamy blandness. Sometimes, there isn’t enough flavor to coat all the rice anyways. I am more accustomed to South Asian food where the curry gravy seeps into the rice making it super flavorful. Otherwise, prices went up a bit, but inflation and stuff I guess.
