Korea House, Longwood

Yesterday I had dinner at this Korean restaurant on the east side of 1-4 on 434. It's in a strip mall that could be the best ethnic food locale in the area if they could get a few more occupants and 86 the Cici's. It now houses Ali Baba, Sushin and Korea House. I had a noodle soup with seafood that started with a J but has been forgotten. It was $8. It was ENORMOUS. A ton of thick noodles and julienned vegetables (onion, carrot, green onion, zucchini). The broth was red and red hot. There was a decent amount of squid and octopus (they could have removed the cartilage from the squid more assiduously). It even had a shrimp and mussel. The place seats about 100. It has a very orderly, column and row flow. The ceilings are high. The walls are white. It has 5 cook top tables on one side and a "room" behind a half partition for large parties. Most tables were for four. The decor is appropriate for the region. The service was good. A little language barrier. They serve a typical Korean menu of stews, soups, roasted meats and rice based dishes. They serve complimentary sides. I had pickled, yellow radish and Kim Chi. All in all it's probably the most complete Korean option in Orlando. Lunch specials on the weekdays.
