Vivacious Molly's Vibrant Eats - On 12th, near the corner of Fairview Ave SE in Salem, OR

This place is fantastic - some of the funnest, most unique food in Salem, and delicious too.

The Bulgogi Wraps were great, a marinated treat that never disappoints.

The Mahi Mahi Wraps were fantastic - the tomatoes, mango, poblano pepper, and the red onion, with the cilantro and lime all teamed up and  really drew out the flavor of the Mahi Mahi.

The Shrimp and Green Onion Pancake was fantastic as well - the dense pancake was more like a crepe, and the sweet richness of the shrimp combined with the green onion contrasted wonderfully with the earthy richness of the zucchini and carrots, it blew my taste buds away.

BiBim Bap House - Downtown on Chemeketa St NE in Salem, OR

Wow! Fantastic Korean food!

Dol Sot BiBim Bap is a Korean dish served in an extremely hot stone bowl. The empty bowl is coated with sesame oil and then the rice is added. The extreme heat makes a thin layer of rice touching the bowl crispy. You mix all of the ingredients together and the heat from the bowl cooks the raw egg. Pieces of crispy rice is mixed in with everything else and makes it a really unique dish.

In addition to the deliciousness of the meal, they also brought us complimentary appetizers and oranges for dessert. The staff was very friendly, the place was clean, and the prices of the lunch specials were great (especially considering what you get). This is one of my very favorite places to eat at in Salem.
