I haven't been to Korea House in probably over 10 years. Mainly because I don't live in that part…read moreof town anymore (since 2012) but I found myself that way with my kids. They wanted Korean food and that was the only one nearby. It's exactly how I remember it.... The same hole-in-the-wall, small restaurant but very packed with tons of customers. My kids shared the kalbi and I ordered the sweet and sour pork. I mean this in a good way, but Korean food (no matter the restaurant) always tastes the same. The only time you know when you have problem is when it tastes drastically different than what you're used to. I've had very few bad experiences with any Korean restaurant. What I personally look for is consistency in flavor and Korea House let that expectation. And because of that, it's as good as I remember and as delicious as I remember. Highly recommended.

I am so glad I made it to Galbiya for some authentic Korean food!

Sadly I rarely take photos of takeout food (I need to do better about this!) We got dumplings, ramen, and pork Bibimbap. The owner was so friendly and shared they make homemade kimchi which was fabulous and may have been my favorite thing. The bibimbap was a close second though, it was so flavorful and delicious. I couldn't stop eating it! The dumplings were also fantastic. The only thing I wouldn't order again is the ramen, but I think it's just because they do so many other things better. The restaurant is continent and in a strip mall, with a good amount of tables. I'd really like to dine in next time so I can get the true, full experience. I can't wait to come back!

Be sure to walk through the blue door, if you plan to dine in. When you walk in you'll find close-set tables, a dimly lit, hidden gem feel with hums of conversation, shared plates, and Soju flowing at the bar. Give the grape soju. So good! The portions are generous and can easily be shared. For apps we ordered the dumplings and banchan & kimchi. Both were great choices and light enough to not fill you up before getting the main courses. We really wanted to try the Hedo Bap(only available Mon-Thur) but they ran out prior to us ordering. I highly suggest getting there between 5-6 to ensure you get to try it.

But highly specialized foreign cuisine like Indian, Vietnamese, or in this case Korean, is typically found in the big city. It doesn't just happen in random places. One would think those can't exist beyond the suburban reaches of a heavily populated area. And they preferably occur in a neighborhood with a significant ethnic population that guarantees the demand for authenticity. When I saw the phenomenal online ratings for Fat Tiger, a greatly heralded Korean joint on the periphery of the Nashville metropolitan area, way out in the countryside by city slickers' standards, I wondered if it was too good to be true. Were these ratings inflated, or was this a hidden gem people need to know about? The only way to discover the truth was to drive myself out there. Boy was that drive worth it! Fat Tiger is legit! While my standards are unreasonably lofty after eating copious dishes in South Korea on several occasions, the recipes made at Fat Tiger passed down from a Korean grandmother are spot on! Yes, it's true, some of the best Korean food in Middle Tennessee is all the way out in Dickson County!! Thank heavens for crowd-sourced review sites finding spots like this! On their recommendation, I went with the jaeyook bokkeum that I'd fallen in love with on an outing in Seoul. It's thinly shaved spicy pork marinated in a gochujang rub, pleasantly spicy but not so hot that you couldn't enjoy it. That was absolute perfection! The meat was so tender, the flavors so rich and complex without overpowering, the sauce in just the right portions. And you get so much food for the price! Now I just need to return to sample the rest of the menu! I see you, Bulgogi Loaded Fries!

From the moment my husband and I stepped up to the elaborately funky barn entrance to explore the charming sights/vibes/smells inside, we were both immediately hungry for all the fatty good fun promised within that fabulous menu. The sweet staff were all such a pleasure as well, especially the kind young lady who offered me a sample of the exquisite turnip green soup because I mentioned it looked good...and it was! We ended up sharing the FANTASTIC shrimp burger with fries and the equally delightful seafood pancake, which was one of the best I've yet to try. And how about those awesome dipping sauces that same sweet staff brought us for our first tastes? It only enhanced the excellent flavors and textures of our dishes! Soooo glad we happened to stop by on our way out of town and soooo willing to make the trek back if we're close by there again--what an awesome eatery and a pleasant surprise! Also, if Guy Fierri hasn't made his way here yet he NEEDS to like yesterday, because it's just the type of perfectly unique stop you'd see on his Flavortown adventures: HINT-HINT!!
