Open till 2 am Wed - Sun, Ohn Korean Eatery serves up a multitude of different Korean liquor (mostly Soju) and a good mix of Korean street/bar food. My nephew and I were hungry late night so stopped in before midnight on a Wednesday, since the Vietnamese restaurant we wanted to try was unexpectedly closed. We just had food, and it was quite good: filling and satisfying.
There is plenty of parking in the shared surface lot, though there were plenty of cars indicating that Ohn was still busy. We were seated in a booth, with a menu and water being brought over. Many small screens around the area were showing various K-Pop videos, with one of them syncing with the K-Pop heard throughout the restaurant.
It's not a big menu, and once I saw Kimchi fried rice for $12.50, that was my choice. It came out pretty fast, a mound of freshly stir fried rice in the middle, a parboiled egg in the on top, and sprinkled with diced green onions. It came with 3 banchans, all of them kimchi (chinese cabbage, daikon, and cucumber)....I like all of them so ate, but it was overkill for my nephew. He ordered yangnyeom belly ($18), sweet and spicy glazed pork belly with yet even more kimchi. It came with a bowl of white rice.
I really liked the fried rice: it had the right amount of fermented kimchi flavor with the rice not being too old. There was plenty enough for two to share. I wasn't as crazy about the pork belly...there was plenty of it, but the glaze wasn't really yangnyeom flavor...it was more like a sweet southern bbq sauce. The pork was cut into tabs (like filipino lechon) and had been deep fried to produce a very very crispy product, but still soft in the inside. The fried kimchi on the side would have been a great accompaniment, but for us with the kimchi fried rice, it was too much. We ended up taking most of it home.
The waitress was attentive, refilling our water carafe as we constantly emptied it into our stainless steel cups, eating the hot and spicy food. We were done pretty quick and helped us pay at the table. I definitely got the feeling that others had been there for a while. This is as late as I've eaten in a very long time, not the case for my young nephew. It was fun trying to hang with him this late, at least this once.
