Can’t-miss Korean At This Gem On Rideau Street

This restaurant on Rideau St. should be your new stop for Korean dishes like Bulgogi and Bibimbap

For food explorers one of the great joys of the hunt is finding that little-known hideaway, that year after year delivers its traditional cuisine at a high level. The food may appear modest but it hits all the right notes in both taste and quality and the pride of the people behind it.

No one would really consider Rideau St. a place for hideaways, but driving up and down that road, you know very well how hard it is to see anything. You just don't have the luxury of driving slowly enough to take it all in. It is for this reason that in the next editions I'll be talking about a couple of Rideau St. takeaway places that are worthy of your attention.

Food Mood: Korean Kitchen opened its doors in 2017 and has been supplying locals and shoppers with savoury and well-prepared Korean street food six days a week (closed on Mondays) from their tiny location at 178B Rideau St., just steps from Dalhousie.
