I must 1st admit i am not an avid asian cuisine fan, i think most of my problem is i grew up eating only the basic appetizers and entrees. I was never adventurous about ordering meals outside my comfort zone. Well writing this blog, i have forced myself to step outside the box. So when my friend Lina suggested Korean food at a restaurant i probably walked past 20 times without ever realizing it was there i thought this was a great opportunity for something new.
Korean Grille, is a very quaint restaurant with maybe seating for 25-30 people. Nice ambiance and the staff friendly and knowledgable. We started a meal with an appetizer, the shrimp dumplings with soy dipping sauce, very tasty and perfectly cooked. A perfect appetizer, tasty but not too big that you are too full for your meal but also not so small that you wonder did you have anything to eat in the first place.
Lina had the Tofu Bu Sut Gop Dol (# 37 on the menu) , her go too meal here and for good reason. It looked and smelled delicious. Served in the crock that it was cooked in, and with a fried egg on top. The heavenly aroma equalled its flavor, as Lina enjoyed her dish very much.
I had the Japache with seafood, the picture above does not do this meal justice. The meal came with amazing sweet potato noodles( a new favorite, the texture is nice and absolutely delicious) it was served a lovely medley of veggies and seafood (shrimps of different sizes and some mussels). The accompanying side dishes pictured above came with all sorts of different sauces ( which i apologize i don't have much details on) the cabbage was a little spicy but the radish was my favorite, the sauce was delicious. The side dishes were such a great companion to our entrees.
Before this dinner i was not too familiar with Korean food and now i must say i can't wait for my next opportunity to try this delicious cuisine.
If Korean food is something you are interested in trying for the first time or if you have had it before and are looking for somewhere new to try, i can't recommend Korean Grille enough.
have a great night and an even better meal.
