Pear Street, Fairfield
More infoBistro Chi-Q is the Fairfield spot that makes you argue about cheese in soup, and you won't be able to stop. The draw is a cauldron of budae jjigae, the army stew of ramen, sausage, kimchi and cheese that keeps cooking at the table while you work through Korean fried chicken in three glazes. It pulls a 4.5 and runs late on Pear Street. Bring an opinion.
Order the budae jjigae first so it can bubble away at the table while you split chicken in a couple of different glazes, that slow-cooking stew is the centrepiece, not a side. Don't miss adding the ramen noodles into the broth at the end and settling the great cheese-in-soup debate. It runs late and the room is warm and loud in the best way, so budget around an hour and three-quarters and don't watch the clock.
