Newtown Korean Restaurant

My in-laws have been raving about Newtown Korean Restaurant for ages, and they finally treated us to dinner so we could experience it for ourselves. And honestly? It did not disappoint.


From the moment we walked in, the service was warm and welcoming. The dining room has that comfortable, homey feel that makes you want to settle in and stay awhile. Portions here are known to be generous, so we ordered family-style and shared everything.


Our dinner lineup included kal biseafood pancakefried shrimpfried mandoo, and a deep-fried whole chicken

Before any of the mains even reached the table, seven small plates of banchan arrived to tide us over—each one delicious and fresh.


Every dish had something to love, but the kal bi and seafood pancake were the clear standouts for me. 

The kal bi was tender and flavorful, and the pancake had that perfect balance of crisp edges and soft, savory interior. The fried shrimp did seem like the premade frozen kind, but my boys devoured it, so no complaints there.

All in all, I can absolutely see why my in-laws enjoy coming here so much. Good food, friendly service, and a cozy atmosphere—it’s an easy place to relax, enjoy a meal, and feel right at home.
