Where to Savor K-Drama Deligts in Orlando, Florida

If you've ever been captivated by the scenes in K-dramas where characters indulge in steaming bowls of Jajangmyeon, Korea House Restaurant on E. Colonial Dr in Orlando is your real-world ticket to this delightful experience.
Jajangmyeon, a noodle dish adorned with a rich chunjang sauce, diced meat, and vegetables, is a staple in K-dramas. It often makes an appearance after a day of strenuous activity, like moving into a new place. The tradition of eating it on the floor, with newspapers as makeshift placemats, stems from the practicality of the situation—furniture hasn't been set up yet. This humble dish has found its way into the hearts of Koreans as a quick and convenient way to nourish moving staff and helpers.
Accompanying Jajangmyeon, you'll often find Jjamppong (a spicy seafood noodle soup) and Tangsuyuk (Sweet and Sour Pork). These dishes, collectively, form a trinity of flavors that exemplify the Korean-Chinese culinary tradition.
The Korean style Chinese menu offered at Korea House Restaurant possesses a subtly distinctive taste compared to its Chinese origin. It's characterized by a mild flavor profile that caters to a wide range of palates.
In South Korea, the convenience of Jajangmyeon delivery extends even to remote areas, including rural regions and islands. While you might not be able to order the exact Jajangmyeon you've seen in K-dramas, Korea House does an exceptional job with this beloved dish.
During my visit to Korea House Restaurant, I had the pleasure of savoring Jajangmyeon, Jjamppong, Shrimp Kanpoongi, Chicken Kanpoongi, and Tangsuyuk.
Among these delightful options, the Shrimp Kanpoongi stole the show with its burst of flavor and succulent texture.
Beyond the allure of K-drama delicacies, Korea House also boasts a selection of traditional Korean dishes like DOENJANG JJIGAE (fermented soybean paste stew), YUKGAEJANG (spicy beef soup), and SOONDUBU (soft tofu stew). And for those seeking the interactive pleasure of grilling, their K-bbq offerings are sure to satisfy.
For an authentic taste of Korean cuisine, frequented by locals in the know, Korea House Restaurant stands as an exceptional choice whether you're drawn by the nostalgia of K-dramas or simply seeking a genuine Korean
dining experience, this establishment is sure to leave your taste buds delighted and your heart satisfied.
