    Default Korean Restaurants

    They have seemed to have vanished. I like Korean dishes and
    especially Bulgoki. Are there any restaurants in town?

    i tried b-won in del city around a year ago and it was good. -M

    Vanished? All the same ones I have been going to for years are still around and a new one opened in Del City last year.

    There is Dong-A in Moore.

    B-Won, Jeon Ju, and a couple of others in Del City I can't remember the name of and there is one in what I think is called the KO Mart in Midwest City and there is also Kim's Kithcen in Midwest City.

    Having spent a number of years in Korea courtesy of my uncle (Sam) the most authentic and best is Korea House in Del City. Not shown on Yelp is the Korean restaurant in Moore, Dong A, which is also good and just as authentic.

    this seems as good a place to ask as any... what's up with all the korean restaurants in the mid-del area? does it have something to do with servicemen coming back from the korean war having a taste for korean food? -M

    I don't know the answer but I've always wondered that myself..... I also forgot to mention Fusion at 12th and Broadway in Moore is Korean.

    Korean War was 50 - 53. . . don't think these places have been there that long. More likely it is the influence of the military (esp AWACS and Navy Wing) who have been in that area. . .and, in addition to liking the food, possibly have Korean spouses and/or extended family in the area.

    Bingo. There are always Korean Restaurants around military bases, good example is Lawton.

    Even the chinese restaurants in most military towns are Korean owned and managed.

    Thanks for all the posts.

    I don't believe the Koreans are in the Del City, i.e. Tinker, area because of
    the military. At one time, around 1978, there was a small Korean community
    near N.W. 23rd and N. Classen. I don't know why, but they left. There was
    a wonderful restaurant, Korean House at N.W. 23rd and N. Villa, and a
    Korean grocery near N.W. 23rd and N. Classen. With the racial tensions
    of Asians being almost as high as the Native Americans, I supposed the
    Koreans left because of the Vietnamese propagation. This is only
    speculation.

    Beef Bulgogli is really easy to make! I made some the other day and it is so good!

    If in Lawton, there's about 6 Korean restaurants that offer great bulgogi, mainly due to Ft. Sill. However, there's not a single Vietnamese or Thai restaurant down there.

    Derp - I completely misread the post I responded to. Agree with you.

    I've been to a few of the Korean restaurants in the state, and they were all pretty lackluster. I guess coming from a state that had good ones (and having lived in Korea for a while) spoiled me :P
    IMO it would better to just make Korean food at home. It's not as complicated as it seems! There are great videos on Youtube

    Most of the Korean food I've had was made by Koreans. I learned to
    cook some of the dishes. However, many of them bought their
    Kimchi instead of make it. One person would go to Dallas.

    Not exactly Korean but has some Korean influences and Korean owners.... Has anyone tried Vamanos Grill at Britton and Broadway Extension?

    I went there for lunch yesterday and had the Korean ribeye burrito and it was really tasty. It was a fusion of Mexican and Korean flavors. I believe it even had kimchi in it.

    Tried a carnitas taco too. it's not your typical Mexican type taco because it has lettuce and cheese on it but it was really good and came with some incredible tasting green sauce.

    I was hoping they had Korean Tacos similar to what Heo's food truck serves but the tacos came with the option of corn or flour tortillas or a crispy corn shell..... I chose corn and it came with two tortillas like the Mexican tacos.

    One of the things I was freaked out about, and later learned not to
    be, was Koreans keeping dried anchovies in their cupboard. They
    were used for seasoning in many dishes. The first time I saw a large
    bowl of them was quite surprising. Ick!

    After eating dishes with anchovies it's no wonder that anchovies
    were popular on pizza until recently. They are incredible!

    I've since tried to order pizza with anchovies.

    I like B-won. Now, I started going to the one on 12th and Eastern. Its closer to our house off 19th. They also have a Korean store in the same center.

    That would be N.E. 12th, right? Are there other locations? I looked on
    Urban Spoon and didn't find them.

    I may try it this weekend. Thanx!

    Whoa! Thou must use the "-" on Urban Spoon, i.e. B-Won and not B Won.
    I just found it at 4517 S Sunnylane Rd Oklahoma City, OK 73135.
    The address puts it south of SE 44th. Is that another location than
    the one you use?

    OY! Now I don't know what to do. The one I found south of SE 44th
    and Sunnylane is the only one I can find. Dong A is a name that's
    more in line with Vietnamese than Korean. I say that because Dong is
    used prevalently in the Vietnamese districts and not in the Korean.

    It's just an observation. I'm very observant.
