Soora Korean Restaurant

So Soora is the kind of place that would satisfy the cravings of locals among the targeted ethnicity, but not much else. You know, the "local Korean place". All the dishes we've got (egg jjim, galbitang, oyster pajeon, soondae, bibim mul naengmyeon and kimchi intestines) were quite casually tasty, at a comfortable price, and definitely very Korean. That being said, none of them impressed in any meaningful way, and if you're used to Korean cuisine, then everything was pretty much as expected. C-tier it is. The banchan might feel a bit "Americanized" as per my friend's sentiment (seriously, tomato...), but let's be honest. This is Detroit, and if a place is about to go "full Korean", none of y'all are even gonna eat it. All of the chili-based dishes (kimchi, bibim mul naengmyeon, etc.) had their spiciness toned down quite a bit from "Korean hot" as well, but the flavor was still there. The naengmyeon broth was also a little bit sweet. Aside from that, perhaps the only things worth talking about food-wise are how the oyster pajeon didn't actually have much oyster in it, but you won't notice it just casually dining because of how savory the pancake itself is. The honeycomb tripe was also boiled a bit too hard for my liking and had too much of a chew. I also found the restaurant quite cute, despite the initial threatening aura upon arriving at the scene. TL;DR Korean in Detroit. Come if authenticity is what you seek.

My wife and I went here for a lunch date. The service was quick and friendly. We were both impressed with the immense menu choices. I am happy to say there are great price ranges that should fit most. On average pricing is moderate. We started with pan fried pot stickers, which were prepared perfectly, and were quite tasty. For entrees my wife had the fried prawns and I had the pork stew. Both were wonderfully spiced and prepared. We had plenty to take home for a second meal. Exceptional food and service. Highly recommend!!
