“ Husband and I had a great meal at Korea House! We went on a Wednesday evening but it was not too packed. The waitress and owners were very kind and friendly as they greeted us. We ordered the soondubu jjigae, tofu stew, and 2 bowls of rice, since we both like sharing our meal. The stew came with many delicious side dishes that were all authentic and well seasoned. The jjigae came not too hot, but warm. Take note that if you want an egg in it, request for it while you're ordering and ask them to make the soup a bit hotter so it'll cook the egg once you crack it in. They have regular white rice but it was well cooked. According to the owner, they have a jazz band playing every Friday night (or first Friday?), we were so sad to miss it! Hope to stop by next time. ”
