Taste of Korea

[BoulderSooner]

Man, RIP- 2020 has been rough on my list of Top 10 OKC restaurants closing, knocking 3 off.
Anyone know where to find comparable short ribs in the city?

what is/was your top 10??

[Pete]

They don't close until the 23rd, so plenty of time to get in at least one more fix.

[BridgeBurner]

what is/was your top 10??

Not necessarily in order:
The Ranch
Maples BBQ- RIP
Chick N Beer
Hacienda Tacos
Chigama- RIP (but I cheated this was December I think)
Samurai Sushi
Ludavine
Empire
Taste of Korea- RIP
Jones

Packard's, Garage, and Mule probably move into top 10 slots? But I am not hungry right now so I am probably missing some lol

True Pete but I would bet they have stopped ordering their market price items like the short ribs at this point.

Where to get ribs? Even remotely like that I imagine you'd have to go to places like korean house or dong-a

that is a great list

Asian and Mexican all over the city and not one place that specializes in Eastern European fare.

[BridgeBurner]

Haha thanks Boulder, feeling validated right now

I've been to Korean House but haven't heard of Dong-a, have to check it out. Both are pretty far from me though :/

Never had Taste of Korea's short ribs, but I've had Chae's shortrib benedict and it was pretty tasty.

Taste of Korea's food is GREAT but the building leaves a lot to be desired. I REALLY hope they land back on their feet and reopen elsewhere with a larger dining room.

Too bad they didn't snag the old Dmitri's Peacock space before The Lazy Donkey got it.

I would kill for a Russian restaurant. Well, maybe not but I would definitely maim.

Having lived in the Chicago area for a dozen years and eating at those types of places often, we miss that kind of cuisine a lot here.

Are Noodee and Okie Poke still around on 23rd Street (I don't think they are, but someone correct me if I'm wrong)? I could see Taste of Korea fitting in very well in that space, my only question is how much of a rent increase it would be over what they're paying for their current building.

[Thomas Vu]

okie poke is now in the collective. Can't speak for noodee

What this town needs is a place that serves pierogies, cabbage rolls, hunters stew, etc. We need some more diversity.

Doesn't Ingrid's have a few items like this?

I have long wanted a true Turkish Kabob place. Maybe it exists and I just haven't found it.

[HangryHippo]

I'd (metaphorically) kill a man for a good Turkish Kabob place!

[Roger S]

Not a restaurant but they have an occasional brunch and offer cooking classes.

Instanbul at 36th & May was great but closed.

Not enough business.

[HangryHippo]

Roger - thanks for the link.

Pete - never even knew they existed.

[d-usa]

Turkish Delight is a good food truck, but they are hard to track down sometimes.

My only complaint is that they don’t have the bread that a good European Döner Kebab is served on.

[shawnw]

seemed like parking was always tight here do we know what happened?

[Thomas Vu]

I never saw it crowded. I've only been in a handful of times, but they treated me super well and remembered me from previous visits.

I saw this comment on the OKC subreddit a couple of weeks ago.
