Coreanos Kitchen Itaewon 코레아노스키친 이태원점

A cat wanders the dining room, and warm tortilla chips arrive as soon as you sit down with four house-made salsas, of which only the chimichurri is sweet. The mushroom veggie taco is built on sauteed mushrooms, the galbi burrito packs in tender Korean-style short rib, and the chicken quesadilla comes with guacamole and salsa. Set meals are large, and cilantro can be left out on request. The restaurant sits up the hill from Noksapyeong Station, with seating continuing on a level below the entrance. Window seats overlook the Noksapyeong intersection, while the terrace picks up traffic noise. Grapefruit ade, frozen lime margaritas and draft beer fill the drinks list.
