Wisconsin and Minnesota are two states far from the Korean peninsula; but in Lawrence, the respective streets house the only Korean restaurant in Lawrence\u2014O Caf\u00e9. Located off Sixth Street, the ‘hole-in-the-wall’ is anything but small, with its bold flavors reverberating in popular dishes found across the Pacific, and a price incomparable to the amount of food accompanying your meal.<\/p>\n

Korean side dishes, complimentary with your meal.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

In Korea, a main course isn\u2019t without its banchan<\/em>, or side dishes. While O Caf\u00e9 is consistent in offering a variety of sides catering to the American palate, there\u2019s a frequent rotation in choices. For this occasion, dishes were received: pickled radish, potatoes with jalapenos, and the infamous dish associated with Korea\u2014kimchi<\/em>, in both cabbage and cucumber form. While the portions are small and split between guests at the table, it\u2019s the equivalent to an \u2018all-you-can-eat\u2019 buffet without the added cost. The healthy appetizers are the perfect introduction to your meal.<\/p>\n

The dish of the evening was the bulgogi<\/em>, marinated beef simmering on a cast iron plate, complete with mushrooms and onions topped with sesame seeds, a bed of rice, and lettuce leaves to wrap the meat in. It\u2019s a popular alternative than using regular utensils to eat\u2014and if you\u2019re a fan of heat, don\u2019t hesitate to ask for a side of ssamjang<\/em>, made of hot pepper and bean paste.<\/p>\n
