I am always looking for different ethnic foods to try, and yes, on these food adventures, I like to drag along my daughters and any grandkids that are brave enough to dine outside their comfort zone. This was one that took some convincing. I have been driving on 1960 in Atascocita and kept seeing the sign for “A Taste of Korea.” Sadly I’m always on my way somewhere else, but always planning to stop and try it. Recently, I made a point of going to this restaurant to check out the menu.
In the past, my experience with Korean foods started and ended with a dish I love, Korean barbecue. This time I wanted to sample a few house specialties or dishes suggested by the server or owners. I visited with one of the Taste of Korea owners, Mr. June, who is also a server and a wonderfully gracious host. Before opening and to ensure the success of their restaurant, June and his wife, Michelle, also the chef, took a trip to South Korea. They stayed about a month and gleaned local recipes from restaurants around the country.
