| - I've never had Korean food before, so checking out Owl of Minerva was a new and exciting experience. Before I went, I looked online for recommendations on what to order and then checked out their website. Their website was super helpful and I was able to prepare for going to the restaurant.
I went with a friend who has had Korean several times. The restaurant is clean and the staff is friendly. There was a K-Pop competition on the TV, and the menu takes up an entire wall, so it's very bright and fun.
They bring you a warm tea when you come in and you can place your order with a server. I ordered the Kalbi/Galbi, which is Korean BBQ'd beef, and my friend ordered beef Bulgogi, which she's had in Korea-town before.
They give you many small side dishes with your meals, which includes bean sprouts and kimchi, and the portions are hearty. I recommend you order the smaller kalbi if you get it - I had to take most of it home, and was happy for it because it was really delicious. My friend thought her Bulgogi was alright, mostly because she had had it made differently before and wasn't used to this kind.
I've since ordered take-out from here for my Husband and I and he loved it too. I highly recommend this restaurant to both people who loved Korean and also who have never had it - it's worth trying.
