Korean Restaurants

[Prunepicker]

the only b-won i know of is over on 44th & sunnylane in del city. i've been
there and enjoyed it, but i can't say that i've had enough korean food to
give any kind of expert opinion. -M

If you liked it then it's good. That's what the Koreans tell me.

Come to think about it, that's true about everything.

I'm gong to wait before I go to MWC. It's because I like "home style"
Korean rather than "pseudo gourmet" Korean food. Gimme dat beef
smothered in garlic, green onions and dried anchovies. Sweet Home
Alabama! They just don't realize it... yet. They likes dem' vidalias,
garlic and salt.

I believe "home style" takes the Kimchi.

B-Won is where mmm said in Del City.... Dong-A is at N 12th and Eastern in Moore and is very much Korean and not Vietnamese.

Both are very good.

There are several other Korean restaurants in the Mid-Del area..... Kim's Kitchen, Jeon-Ju, Korean House, Seoul Garden, OK KO Mart

And in Moore there is also Fusion Cafe.

I like B-Won, but Seoul Garden is easily my favorite. Very good place.

Dong means 'East' in Chinese, so Dong A is probably acknowledging their location on Eastern Avenue rather than trying to have a Korean (or Vietnamese) reference.

just food for thought

I'm pretty sure it means "east" in Korean also. Dong-A, in my opinion, is one of the better Korean restaurants in the metro. Their bibim naengmyeon is very good. OK Komart is also worth checking out, although their menu is very limited. I used to go there for the jjamppong, but unfortunately they don't offer that anymore. Fusion Cafe in Moore has great Korean chicken wings.

The next time I go to the commissary, at Tinker AFB, I'm going to take
mmm's recommendation and try B-Won. It may be a month or so before
I go since I went to the commissary last week.

As nationalistic, or racist, as the Asians are I doubt very seriously
that Korean's would use a Chinese word in their restaurant's name.

The purity of the nation is serious business to Asians.

[HOT ROD]

You could be right, but I just noted the coincidence in the location with the Chinese word for it. I don't speak Korean so I can't say for sure that Dong a is giving homage to East Ave.

But do note that many Asian societies borrow a LOT from China (then you're right, they try to claim it as their own lol). Chopsticks, Potstickers, Ramen, Han Fu, hot pot, Temple/Shrine, classic oriental building design, dofu, ....... could go on - all are from China but popularized by other countries. My wife is amazed by how much Japan and Korea takes credit in America for things/ideas/culture that they learned/borrowed from her home country.

that aside, I love Korean food and am glad OKC has some good options.

Remember this bumpersticker?


I saw a different version the other day:
2B-WON ASKJUAN
I think it loosely translates as a suggestion for getting directions to a Mexican-Korean Fusion Cuisine Food Truck.
(Don't expect to hear "Go Dong" in the answer)

If you believe Tom Clancy, Koreans and Japanese are basically from the same stock, but separated by a partial migration, and the Japanese are so much more snooty about their differences than the Koreans are.

LOL! White folks make the funniest comments.

Technically, don't you mean "Round Eyes"?
