do a lot of americans dine in the korean restaurants in koreatown?

Question

are they usually a mix of koreans and americans? also, what restaurant do you recommend for americans who have yet to try korean food? and where? where is the best galbi place that is not too overpriced (somewhere that is not over $20)

Answer 1

I eat in KoreaTown like twice a week..Love Korean food! A good starting place is called Kum Gang San, you will probably find the most non Korean people eating here. 2 doors down is a place called Gahm Mi Oak, IMO they have THE best kimchi there. There is a Korean tofu place on 35 st called Cho Dang Gol which is great, but the one place on that block that always has the longest lines and are usually 99% Korean customers (which usually means it's good, and it IS) is called Kun Jip. Enjoy!

Answer 2

My husband was stationed in Korea in 1971 and LOVES Korean food. I would guess that other former soldiers that were stationed there would also want to eat at Korean restaurants.

I was not stationed there, but I love my husband's cooking. So I would eat at Korean restaurants. Although I can't handle most kim chee.

Answer 3

its obvious that there would be more koreans at a korean restaurant.
but americans sometimes come.
i see non-koreans atleast once every time i dine out at a korean restaurant.
KOREAN FOOD IS GOOD.
although you may be uncomfortable with the atmosphere.
it has a more eatingatyourneighbors feeling that fancy.
i recommend...bo ssam or dweh ji bulgogi (spicy) or boodehjjigae (has spam)

Answer 4

I've lived here all my life and didn't know we had a Koreatown, and one of my best friends is Korean. Hum, I'll have to talk to her.

Answer 5

Answer 6
