Koriente Restaurant & Tea House

04/20/2008 Posted by Monicalina

This place is awesome! The food is terrific! Healthy, hearty and with great tea and beer choices too! When we walked in we were greeted the sweet girl behind the counter. She explained that you order at the counter and they'll bring the food to you (this was nice, because we would have just sat down and waited for a long time never noticing that there is a sign hanging from the ceiling telling you to order at the counter) The food came to our table very quickly and it was delicious! We finished our meal with some tea and ice cream (which was also delicious!) Koriente will be one of our regular spots from now on. :)

Pros: Cheap food that doesn't taste cheap!

Cons: Sabine is hard to find if you don't know where it is

I've been going to Koriente's for about 8 months now and wow, I've NEVER been to a restaurant where the food was not only ethnic sound Korean, healthy and more importantly HEALTHY! The owners take pride in their restaurant and strive to make the place as clean and comfortable as possible. Despite it's location on 7th street, the restaurant is really hip, colorful and surrounded by BEAUTIFUL plants outside planted by the owner herself! The owner's philosophy of eating healthy as well as being healthy really shines through their food! I recommend the humus roll and mix mix with bulgogi! The ambiance is great! They have a new girl working there now that plays cds of really good house and hip hop music. She's really funny, nice and makes great suggestions! She got me hooked on the humus rolls!

I cannot come up with anything negative to say about this place, and that's pretty impressive considering some of the other reviews I have posted. The owners are very very friendly, they always get the food out very quickly, and of course, it's wonderful. I never would have guessed that vegetables could taste so good! Some of the decor is hilarious also, like the life size Barbie with the words "tea tea" on her.

This place is amazing! I've been a couple of times, and I have never once been dissapointed. Staff is super friendly, food is super fresh, prices are reasonable. The only con is location. Sure, it's downtown, but not in the nicest part. They have an awesome vegetarian entree as well.

Pros: Veggie option, fresh, good tea selection, friendly service

Cons: Close to scary highway underpass

Stumbled on this place and what a find! The spicy chicken bulgogi (kind of a stew) was amazing, as was the Friday-only Lemon marinated salmon. Very reasonable, to boot!

Pros: Fresh taste and quality

Cons: potential to be crowded

I love Koriente! The lunch value is amazing with free salad and Miso soup. The dishes are delicious and fresh. The owners are very nice and you should go check out the beautiful garden they are cultivating across the alley. Highly recommended!!!

Pros: Tasty, value and fun

Cons: NONE

Great environment, great food, and great service! That pretty much sums up Koriente. I would recommend it to anyone looking for an inexpensive lunch consisting of good eats in a chill environment.
