Myung Ga Korean Restaurant

With a nod to Korean culinary tradition, this restaurant in Soho presents itself as both a taste of home for the Korean community and an introduction to the vibrant cuisine for others. The menu is a diverse tapestry of classic dishes like bibimbap and samgyeopsal, alongside more communal feats such as mixed barbecue platters and the traditional kimchi stew. The authenticity leans true, with certain patrons affirming the flavors rival experiences in Korea itself. Although diners find the decor minimalist with a focus solely on the food, the bustling atmosphere belies its modest interior. Dining here means getting familiar with the process of Korean barbecue, with eager staff sometimes taking the reins to demonstrate the art of grilling, much to mixed reactions. Despite lively flavors and a relatively wide selection, some aspects of service, particularly efficiency and attentiveness, could stand refinement to enhance the overall dining experience.
