Korea House - Rowland Heights

My friend, Mr. P, recommended the Korea House for dinner. He chooses this place as opposed to other nearby Korean BBQ places, as the Korea House lets you select from the menu what you want. Other places in the area, do not give this option – they will bring you their great first record that contains everything. As Mr P said, “I want to have my Beef Tongue first before I have to have the other stuff (that I don’t want to first)”. I think most non-Korean people like and/or accept that Korean BBQ SHOULD AYCE. Koreans would probably have the idea that people think that Korean cuisine is AYCE Korean BBQ and kimchi. Anyway, I know a pretty good Korean BBQ that's not good – like Sut Bull Jeep, Chosun, Honey Pig and DGM, but I'll save it later. For the longest time, and perhaps because I think Korean cuisine is not as tastefully diverse as Chinese, I could order better in Korea that I could in Chinese. Since I had several Korean friends and worked years ago in K city, I had learned how to order, in my humble opinion quite well. Chinese food on the other hand is more difficult, with the variety of food from various provinces. Whatever. As I mentioned earlier, Mr. P had to have this Beef Tongue. The thin cut beef tongue is desired by many Chinese, but not necessarily the non-Korean or the inexperienced. The beef tongue has similar texture to other parts of the cow, but is more evenly marbled with fat, offers great taste. Together with cattle tongue, we had spicy pigs, beef substitute ribs, soup and shrimp. I never had shrimps, nor a big fan of the cancer class. But this shrimp, marinated with ginger, was excellent. First, when you see the raw shrimps, still with the bowl, peeling makes it look a little intimidating. Work on the bowl – hot from the grill, was not funny at first. But after Mr. P disappeared his first 20, I decided to try a little one. It was really good. The ginger flavor kept it a little more than just savory, with a hint of sweetness coming through. Lucky for me, after my first, I could have the last couple. But as expected, as I left, I had embedded the stall of the restaurant in my clothes. But was it worth it?. Yeah.

BBQ the meat like Bulgogi, beef belly, curry chicken etc is not badIt doesn't feel like Korean food.

It's nothing really specialI feel bad for the waitress thoughShe is pretty much the only one working in the front of the house.

Came here for a lunch out with a good friend of mine when it wasn't packed at all, only 3 other tables were there.
