Problem: *Disclaimer* It has been many many years since I've been here but... Very romantic. The restaurant is at the very top of a butte with a stellar view of the city. The city lights look like a blanket of stars from this vantage point at night. White glove service. Continental cuisine. The food is good, but it is the location and overall setting that makes this place very special. Take your honey here for Valentines day. She won't be dissapointed.

Problem: I was surprised at how much I enjoyed it. It really reminded me of the feel of being at a restaurant in S. Korea. My party sat down and we were immediately given "water" (It's this tea that is given all the time in Korea instead of water.. Bori cha? or something like that). The older people got hot drinks, and the younger people got the iced version. Not sure if that's a cultural thing... We ordered mandu (dumpling) soup, half champeong (spicy seafood noodle) and half jajungmeun (bean paste noodles), and pork + cabbage with rice. We got a few good standard side dishes, too. The main dishes were very flavorful (maybe too salty). The shredded pork was a bit dry, but I enjoyed it anyway. I thought it was awesome how you can do half of the champeong and half jajungmyun. Brilliant. They gave you boiled peanuts in a styrofoam box if you ask for it. I think some tables just got it without asking... It's free... I'm not quite sure how the system works. The workers there speak Korean and the younger workers are bilingual. Service and food coming out was fast. For what this place is, it's excellent. Nothing fancy. Somewhat hole in the wall. Just straight up authentic.

Problem: OMG! This is definitely the best burger I have ever had. Hands down. I am from New York and have had my share of good burgers (see regular at Shake Shack), but Penguin far exceeded my expectations. I had the Tommy Boy, which is a burger with cheese chili and cole slaw. While oftentimes a burger described as such, would be gimicky and sloppy, this was put together with care, high quality ingredients and great proportionality. My girlfriend ordered the Penguin burger which had pimento (homemade) cheese and fried pickles. You could hear her mmmmmmmmhhhhhing reverberating throughout the bar. Also, great live music.

Problem: It's been about a year since I last dined here and things have changed and not necessarily for the better. My wife and I both remembered their burritos as quite enjoyable, with fresh tasty ingredients, sizable without being too much and properly assembled (which makes a big difference if you plan to not eat it with a fork and knife). Well this time, we were in for an awakening when we finally got our burritos (which took about 10 minutes for them to prepare on a not-so-busy afternoon). I ordered a simple bean and cheese burrito and my wife ordered the fish burrito. Both burritos were enormous, overstuffed and so poorly wrapped that after one bite, both our burritos fell apart revealing the inner contents to both be lukewarm with unmelted cheese and rather tasteless beans, rice, tons of cabbage and average at best tasting fish. In order to eat our meals, we had do scoop out at least half the contents in order to properly fold the bland tasting tortillas holding this mess together. Neither of us could fathom why Two Hippies hires cooks apparently residing in southern Arizona who don't seem to have a clue as to how a burrito is supposed to be wrapped so I suppose that is an achievement, The whole affair turned out to be a completely unsatisfying sloppy mess, and not one we are likely to repeat at any time soon. It should be stated in fairness that the counterperson who took our order was enthusiastic and friendly. And the specialty lemonade drinks were good.
