| - Wow.
I ate at Cho Won Garden this weekend, and it is definitely some of the best food I've had in a long, long time. I had the kim chi soup, and it was just the right amount of spicy to soothe my raging sinus infection. (Doesn't everyone in Charlotte have a raging sinus infection right now? I recommend Cho Won soup for a serious cure.)
All the other Korean spots around town I've been to have been pretty sketchy. This is the first one I've found that can compare to the Little Korea places I used to visit for lunch when I lived in New York.
The atmosphere is great, with beautiful tables in chairs. If you're with a big enough group, you can get them to cook the barbeque at the table, which is pretty exciting. I also enjoyed the little tapas-y things they brought out before the meal, including kim chi, marinated bean sprouts, peppers, and all kinds of goodies.
Our waiter was the owner's son, which was kind of cool, as he had a lot of inside information. The staff was eager to talk to us and answer our questions. It was hands-down the best night out I've had in a few months. I hope this place lasts!
