It's said looks can be deceiving. I have passed by Kori many dozens of times, never stopping until tonight. It is located in a plain old-style American diner building that has seen several other restaurants come and go over the years. The inside is neat, home-spun, not fancy yet comfortable. My server was friendly and helpful, taking time to ask what I liked and then making recommendations that hit the mark. My appetizer, Seafood and Green Onion Pancake, could be a meal to some. Served like a sliced round pizza with a crispy crust, topped with vegetables and a plethora of seafood, and a red sesame sauce, it was delicious. My entree, Seasoned BBQ Eel with Rice, was served in a stone pot so piping hot the rice had formed a crispy crust similar to the socarrat crust under a Paella. On top, strips of tender cooked eel surrounded by an assortment of cooked vegetables, topped with Bibimbap sauce. Oh, and of course as is the Korean custom I was served assorted complimentary pickled and marinated side dishes. I will not pass by Kori again. I will be back, hopefully with neighbors who should discover the place they have probably passed by, too. I hear the beef short ribs are special.
