Ko Modern Korean Cuisine - Newtown

KO is a Knockout! We have dined here many times and the food is always first-rate. We love the Gopdol in the hot pot with rice and vegetables and some chicken. Service was a little slow on a recent Saturday evening. I guessing a server did not show up. It was fine for us because we were having a good old time eating and talking and, yes, drinking, too.

Went here yesterday, I got the dinner bento (with beef bulgogi, meat dumplings, white rice, and they mistakenly put the veggie temp. on my dish but corrected my order right away and gave me the side of dynamite shrimp) and WOW! So delicious, I feel my pics don’t do a justice to how amazing it actually was. I tried my friends bao pork belly buns, and Korean fried chicken wings (not pictured) as well but WOW!! EVERYTHING was so delicious!! Will be coming back for sure!! Food: 5

This restaurant used to be one of my favorites, but it has really declined since Covid, which is disappointing. I would love to see a change in the menu, as it could use some excitement—there are too few options for Korean cuisine, even though the food is actually quite good! The service is another matter entirely, but I understand the challenges. I hope to see this place thrive again in the future!

It's truly unfortunate that this restaurant, which has such a rich history, is set to close soon. The owners let greed get the better of them; they had so much potential, yet they invested all their revenue into a new location, leaving management in shambles. All the best staff members have left, and the food just doesn't taste the same anymore. Everything has taken a turn for the worse, all because of poor timing and greed. Sometimes, you have to learn the hard way.
