New Go Hyang Gip, Orlando

I had dinner at this Korean restaurant on Oak Ridge Rd on Sunday on my back from the airport. It doesn't have a sign in English that says the name (just Korean restaurant). It was pretty damn good/authentic. I had Bibimbap for $11. It was a bowl of vegetable covered with a fried egg and beef. You mix in rice and Go Chu Jang (hot/sweet sauce). It was a big bowl. Enough on it's own. However, they served around nine platters of bon chon with it. Kim Chi, burdock root, bean sprouts, macaroni salad, broccoli rabe, etc. All good. They also have two types of fire grills. I have always been told that the "real deal" places have wood fire grills. The menu has more seafood than I usually see. They have all the classics. Soups, short ribs, sliced beef (I'm blanking on the name - still jet lagged). The place looks like an old McDonald's, but, the inside is decorated in wallpaper and shutters that have Korean characters (letters) on them. It seats around ninety. They have a patio. It was pretty full for eight on a Sunday. Lots of Koreans and Chinese and even round eyes. They serve alcohol. Service was lightning quick. They have been there since 1982. Maybe the best Korean in town.
