Sample Menu

Suras

Suras translated in Korean as “a King’s Feast”, there is no better term to describe this delectable masterpiece. A stock of vegetables, fruits and wine is simmered on low heat for hours before adding a choice cut of ribeye known as Kalbi. Then the stock continues to simmer for an additional two hours during which time all traces of oil are removed by hand. The result is a medly of vegetables, fruits and meat that simply melts in your mouth. In fact, the beef infused with all the flavors from the stock is so tender we guarantee you can cut it with your fork, literally. If you can’t, we’ll pay for your entire meal, no questions asked.

Elements

Elements is a dish consisting beef, rice and five varieties of vegetables prepared with a Korean cooking method called ‘dechim’, which involves a light blanching of a vegetable which is then is hand tossed with a wide variety of seed oils, vinegars, wines and spices. Traditionally, everything is brought together with a spicy sesame/red pepper sauce, resulting in a fiery Korean favorite known as ‘bibimbab’. For those who prefer a milder variety, a wasabi soy sauce option is available.

Rolls

Rolls served at Koriente are expected to be one of our best sellers. Intended to be a side dish or an appetizer before a meal, each six piece roll will be priced accordingly. A twelve piece roll with two piece Jun(A Korean pancake) will be available as an entree option as well.

Grape Tapioca Tea

Grape Tapioca Tea is one of the specialty teas that will be available at Koriente alongside the basic four tea options of Jasmine, Green Tea, Cassia Tora, and Oolong. A carbonated grape tea prepared with shaved ice, this light refreshing tea is a perfect complement to the flavors present in most of our entrees. Peeled and seeded grapes are used in place of tapioca to add another layer to this concoction.

Other teas that will be available in our specialty section include Honey Ginseng, Cinnamon Citrus and Yuja among others.
