New South Coventry Korean Restaurant Announces Opening Date

SOUTH COVENTRY, PA — The good news for the local community continues to roll in: another exciting restaurant is opening nearby next month.

Oori, a Korean noodle and fried chicken joint, is located in a freshly renovated space on 2228 Pottstown Pike.

The operation is being run by chef Michael Falcone and local business owner David Backhus.

"They say timing is everything and we tend to agree… especially when it comes to life, perfect noodles and 6 minute ramen eggs," the restaurant's website reads. "So we were pretty excited when 2 worlds collided on a warm, fateful Saturday afternoon in the small village of Birchrunville, to bring all these things together...Serious about our crafts, cooking and hospitality, we cannot wait to share our passion for both with you."

While the space is still being remodeled, they're optimistic things will open up soon.

In fact, according to a recent Philadelphia Inquirer report, the new restaurant is targeting the week of Dec. 16 for their opening.

It comes following the opening of another highly anticipated restaurant opening in nearby Pottstown earlier this year with the Blue Elephant.
