Bee Won, Dr Phillips

I had lunch at this Korean restaurant in a strip mall on Dr. Phillips Blvd near Hiawassee the Wednesday before last. I had a Golbi Box for $11.95. It contained short ribs, salad, kim chi, bean sprouts, potatoes, turnip, miso soup, rice and a fried dumpling. The traditional sides represented all taste profiles - spicy, savory, sour, etc. They were fine. The soup was not watery. The dumpling was good. The let down was the short ribs. It was the most expensive option and was not really worth the extra expense. Korean short ribs are just never very good. And at $5 a pound in the market, they aren't really an extravagance worth the extra price. The place was clean. It seats about 90. There were five others dining there - 2 Koreans. It seems to have been an old beer garden in a previous life. The decor is mainly wood. The service (1) was a bit slow. I can't really find anything about it that would make me want to return. The $2 can of Coke was a bit excessive.
