Tasty, inauthentic Korean

hautepanda from 11215 | Posted on 4/16/07

I've never been to Noo Na; I just called in an order over the phone. The woman who took my order was warm and friendly; the food arrived promptly. I am not Korean so I can't tell for sure, but this food did not taste like anything I have ever had in Herald Square. The pork bulgogi was bright-orange, sweet, and sprinkled in sesame seeds and tasted more like some diner's recreation of Korean food. The soon du bu (sp?) was wonderful and hot, generous with the clams and seafood. It came with a very small container of sides - the beansprouts were flavorful and lightly crunchy. The prices were expensive for Korean, but in line with prices for this neighborhood. I was hoping for at least a Dok Suni, but I'm glad to have any Korean in the neighborhood at all.
