Ko Modern Korean in Newtown, PA

Posted byXsivjoshPosted inUncategorized

It seems that I have reviewed Ko many times in the past. I guess I posted it on Facebook or previous blogs. We have been going to Ko as often as possible since it opened as a spin-off of Oishi. Last year it was the first place I ate indoors after recovering from Covid. The food is consistantly delicious. The service has been off a bit lately because, like every other place, they can’t get enough help. Nonetheless, lots of people are piling up at the door, dieing to get in for the great meals and are willing to suffer the slower service. I can tell you the food is never lacking in quality, quantity, or flavor.

As usual, I forgot to take a picture of my first dish. When they delivered my Oishi Spicy Soup I got very excited and dug right in. I made sure to share it with Barb and my friends, Mike and Lynne. Everybody enjoyed the intense flavor and agreed it was very spicy. Then Mike pointed out I forgot my picture and laughed. If you love spicy soups, this is a dish not to miss at both Ko and Oishi.

I’m in love with these pork belly buns. The buns are light and fluffy. The pork is sweet and soft and melts in your mouth. I split this order with Lynne who also fell in love with it.
With dinner they include a small salad with a ginger dressing.
This Bourbon Manhattan was served cold and was well made. My cocktail photos are usually taken after I’ve taken a sip or two. Or three.
Lynne enjoyed her Lychee Pear Martini and let me photograph it at the half point.
Barb got her usual, the Chicken Gopdol Bibimbop. She gets hers with brown rice which hardens at the bottom of the stone pot for a crazy good crisp finish.
Mike filled up in candy bars earlier, but couldnt resist the Beef Buns.
Both Lynne and I ordered the Spicy Pork Gopdaol Bibimbop. She had hers with brown rice and I had mine with white rice. We both chose to have the fried egg on the top.
Lots of healthy veggies and yummy cellaphane noodle hidden in the Bibimbop.
As we were leaving I saw this beautiful dish of vegetabke Temporo passing ny, so I took a picture. Just because I wanted to.

KO has been the top Korean restaurant for me for several years. Their ”modern” tweeks on Korean food are a treat. The manager, John, is always looking to please his customers and keeps a close eye on everything going on.

When you are going to be in Newtown, be sure to reserve a table. It’s great fun and great food.
