riverside korean

i had gotten so many good recommendations about riverside korean that i had been dying to go there for months. finally i got the chance with beth a couple nights ago.

riverside korean is this tiny little place in covington that serves some awesome korean food. the menu is very lengthy but beth and i both had a serious craving for some dolsot bibimbap so we were boring and just got that.

i forgot to take a picture of our food before we mixed it so here is a random pic i took in NY last weekend when i was dreaming of korean food just in case you don't know what it looks like

of course, it comes with all those delicious little pickled vegetables so we did get some variety with our rice and veggies. the best was this spinach with a spicy sesame garlic sauce... oh my god. i wanted more and more.

beth with our food. i told her she had to be in this pic to prove that i'm not some nut case making up friends for my blog readers. so there, skeptics!

i remembered later that eric had raved about this spicy tofu dish and i had wanted to order it and totally forgot. i was also really tempted by the jab chae noodles so i will definitely be back to try those.

we got the corn tea to drink with our meal and it was really good. i mean what you see is what you get, corn tea, but just try it, it really goes with the food as beth said.

service was fine and unmemorable. the atmosphere is really cute and tiny. you can sit at a booth or at one of these little community tables:

we kind of wanted to sit here but they were reserved for private parties

the prices were really reasonable and there was no wait (i guess since we went during the week). so overall really good and pretty much your only option unless you want to drive your ass out to mason for some korea house (which is awesome and you should definitely go there).

ok, i think i am finally caught up on these damn posts! thank the lord.
