  • Do you cringe at nature shows where you spend 25 minutes watching the travails of some baby wildebeast, who towards the end of the show, while pausing for a river drink, is suddenly ripped to pieces by a lurking crocodile? Do you feel any better when the narrator closes the show with some pithy, wisened words about nature, the life cycle, and evolution? Well - Koreatown is basically a baby wildebeast. After spending time there you will become emotionally involved. The folks that run the place are super nice. They are doing everything right. Good service. Clean. Friendly. Good food. But I think this place is at risk of a cringe-worthy ending. The problem is the location - a depressed, half-empty shopping center (very quiet anchor supermarket has huge banner across it advertising they accept food stamps/EBT). The restaurant is adjacent to 'Superlaundry'. So despite deserving to survive (kind of like nearby Oma's Place which closed last year) - I fear there is a giant croc in the waters. The place is huge and surprisingly pleasant inside. Why these folks opted for such a large space I do not understand. You could set up a dance floor and pool tables and still have plenty of room for lots of tables. Why rent such a large space? And the operators keep everything immaculate - even the bathrooms are huge and super clean. Foodwise I had a 3.5 star dish of seafood udon ($12), which contained lots of minaturized shellfish like tiny clams, scallops, mini bits of squid, small shrimps, and mussels. My only complaint was the udon was a bit gritty - too many broken shells created during the stir frying process. Served alongside were 5 pretty solid vegan banchan items. Service was attentive. Everyone really friendly. This is the type of place and the type of family you want to root for. They are working really hard to please. But I think this baby wildebeast is at risk. A nice interior, great service, and $12 for seafood udon would work in Scottsdale or some other wealthier locale - but being sited where it is I think the economic crocodile is looming nearby... I can't watch.
