So Im gonna start the posting off with some eastern flavor. A little while back a Korean restaurant opened up on Garfield place in Park Slope Brooklyn. Im always Down for new Korean food, especially if I dont have to shlep out to Queens to get it. On top of this the place opened up with a favorable write up in the times dining section, and some good user reviews on NYmagazines website. The first thing you will Notice is that Miom is nicely designed, fusing traditional Korean elements with crisp modern lines and materials. The second thing you'l notice is the balding Korean man in skinny jeans and a sport coat sipping a Martini by the door. Dont be scared this is the owner, dip past this herb and go to your table or he will try and engage you in broken hip talk.
FOOD: I ordered Korean style ribs and White Kimchi. Let me say that Moim is not at all an authentic Korean dining experience. The foods have been extensively modernized and westernized, that is the spice has been toned down and the soy-sauce has been thrown on. Thats not to say the meal isnt good. Each dish was well prepared, and I especially commend them on their perfectly cooked ribs. However some of their other dishes, such as their kimchi, were just so far from what Korean food should be that it was insulting. The place aint cheap either.
Overall no endorsement. Go to Queens for the real thing, Koreans practically own parts of that place.
