Kimchi Clearance: Your SFoodie Lunch Planner

Muguboka's array of banchan: Better than a BOGO.

By now ― a week and some change before the 25th ― your debit card has been worked harder than a chihuahua's squeaky toy.

That's why the bargain lunch specials at Muguboka seem extra-delicious these days. Take the big-ass pile of sweet, garlicky bul go gee, broiled Korean beef ribs, served up with enough rice to comfort even the most frazzled shopper. Throw in the rainbow spread of banchan freebies, and lunch can seem as satisfying as half-off cashmere at the mall.

And in our opinion, a hell of a lot cuddlier.
