If you're craving authentic Korean cuisine, Cafe Korea in El Paso is a spot you can't miss. The restaurant offers a cozy, albeit simple, ambiance that feels like a quick escape to Korea. I recently indulged in their BBQ Set A, which was a delightful feast enough for three. The quality of the meat was impressive, and the experience was made even more authentic with the help of grandmothers who occasionally assist at the grill, charmingly conversing in Korean.
The side dishes, particularly the steamed egg and tofu soup, were standout treats that warmed me up on a chilly day, proving perfect for clearing a stuffy nose. Other patrons have praised the variety on the menu, from the japchae to the combo plate, noting everything as delicious despite the simplicity of the setting. The service here is attentive; the staff goes out of their way to explain the dishes and ensure you have a pleasant dining experience. While some found certain dishes like the bokkeum bap and bibimbap to lack a bit of flavor, the consensus is that the food is generally satisfying and the portions generous.
Cafe Korea might not be the fanciest place around, but it's definitely a gem for those in the mood for a genuine Korean meal. Whether it's the friendly service or the comforting, flavorful food, this restaurant is a must-visit for Korean food lovers.
