It's funny how many people comment on the DC metro Woo Lae Oaks and how good they are. I think this is because Woo Lae Oak is the only mainstream Korean restaurants in the area...but the food is mediocre at best. Woo Lae Oak NY is the one to go to if you want Woo Lae Oak. Unfortunately I can't recommend any other Korean restaurants in the area since when the food is good, the service lacks and vice versa...usually it's the service that is
My best advice would be to try to befriend a Korean and get invited for dinner
