When he asked in Korean why the menu and the recipes were so different from what he had grown to expect, the waitress replied in English in a hushed voice so that the other customers wouldn't hear, "Sorry, but we aren't in Seoul." #2,

Some of them are ok but he/she missed a lot of the better ones. BTW, if anyone recommends WooLaeOak to you, he/she does not know what Korean food is supposed to taste like. Holy s**t, it is by far THE worst Korean restaurant I've ever been to. I tried it in both Chicago and NY (Dont ask me why I fell for it the second time. As Bush would say, "Fool me once..." Oh whatever). I know it's supposed to cater to non-Korean customers, but come on! Even Taco Bell tastes like authentic Mexican compared to what WooLaeOak is supposed to be. I would seriously look the other way if some Korean nut job beat the living crap out of the owner/chef for "disgracing" the Korean culture.

That being said, this article is a truly challenged introduction to New York's Korea towns - one giveaway being the writer's apparent inability to get much beyond HanGawi and "Woo Lae Oak" in the resto recommendatons.
