Neighborhood Eatery, Downtown

I grabbed a Koagie to go yesterday at this American cafe with a Korean slant. It is on N. Magnolia in the corner spot that recently was a Middle Eastern and a pizza place and a cheese steak place. The Koagie is a bulgogi inspired cheese steak. It cost $7.50. The beef was good. Thicker than steak-ums and thinner than usual bulgogi strips. It's the perfect thickness. I'm not sure if they shave it or not. The meat had no gristle or fat like in regular bulgogi. The flavor was ok. It came with sauteed onions and some kind of cheese. I think the menu mentioned a garlic sauce. The roll was about one half of a spongy long roll. They did stuff that half though. The menu is smallish. Cheese steaks, some Korean platters, sausages, finger foods. They had a steal of a Korean platter that came with an egg roll and soda for $9. Loaded fries were $5. They had Korean soda for just over a buck. It has been open since March. They didn't do a thing to the place. It looks clean and has a nostalgic Fifties decor left over from one of the previous iterations. It has seating. It is only open during the day and I think during the week.
