The decoration in Koriente is the very original. A giant Barbie-like doll greets visitors at the door with a sign that says ""Tea tea?"", drawing attention to their large selection of teas. The side wall is covered by an abstracted painting of John Lennon with Yoko Ono, and outside, there are beautiful flowerbeds which the owners have gone to great effort to maintain.
The quirky decorating isn't what bring me back each week, it's actually the food! Koriente has some typical Korean dishes like Bulgogi and BiBimBap, but sets itself apart with dishes like the Chicken with Tomatoes/Mushrooms or the Kalbi Pot Roast (which is a great comfort food). I love their vegetarian selection and focus on natural foods without MSG and with minimal oil, sugar and salt.
They also deliver, but I prefer to eat there since the nice people working there always brighten my day!
Pros: delicious food, ambience, nice people
Cons: not open at 3AM
