| - Korea Garden is by far the most authentic Korean food in Pittsburgh. Let me explain: First, there are two rooms upstairs which you would never know are there, one for big groups and the other for Kareoke. Second, if you don't speak Korean... well... you might not be able to ask questions during lunch if one of the younger waiters isn't there yet. Third, the food is amazing, as it seems to be a mom and pop affair since I've never been there without seeing one of them. Fourth, like all Korean in the Burgh it isn't cheap, but I have only finished my meal once (full disclosure: I eat super slow and get full... I'm probably saddest about this predicament of mine when I stop by KoGa T.T). Although I have an alcoholics prediliction to Sapporo it can be hard for me to justify the steep price of the beer, and unless you know your Korean or Soju, expect to not have any idea what their wine list contains. Lastly, I come here alone whenever I need to avoid running into people I know and get some great food, and with a few exceptions I'm the only white guy there! Expect more Chinese guests than Koreans, I think this has to do with the immense popularity of Korean food and soap dramas in the PRC, but probably just as much with the large section of the menu entitled "Korean Style Chinese Food". Regardless of authenticity I wouldn't recommend this place to everyone but if they have some cash and an itch for more types of dolsot than any other Korean place in the city, then you must drag them here at least once!
