Trae Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 Is Houston's Korea Town in Spring Branch. I went through that area last week, and had to pick up my cousin at the Spring Branch Head Start. After you make that right on Longpoint, you see a lot of Korean owned businesses. So, is that part of town Korea Town? I actually like the area better than the Chinatown along Bellaire Blvd because of the tall, shady trees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeebus Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 I think it's called Little Seoul, but yes: Long Point between Bingle & Gessner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been looking for Korea Town since I've gotten back from Daegu. Only thing close to it that I've found so far is across the stree from Sharpstown Mall (one Korean video rental store, a Korean grocery store, a Korean restaurant, and um, that's about it). I'm still studying Hangul, and REALLY want to find the community to perhaps find a tutor so I can get proficient. Thanx a million, yo! 20,000 Cool-point bonus to Trae and Jeebus!

How many Seoul Garden restaurants are there in Houston? Is there one downtown, too? (by the way, OYE to the breadmaker!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNiche Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 How many Seoul Garden restaurants are there in Houston? Is there one downtown, too?Not a clue. I've tried other Korean places, but this is the only one that I go to repeatedly. Other places are more expensive or seem less clean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
worldlyman Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 any recommendations on a "user friendly" korean restaurant for beginners? i've wanted to try korean cuisine for some time.Nam Gang (or something like that) just at the left hand side of Gessner going N as you reach Long Point was pretty friendly and tasty and quite good.

Bul-go-gi...love the stuff!Try Aireerang restaurant right next to Chase Bank(Bellaire and Corporate). Huge building. You can't miss it.

Ptarmigan Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 Yup, it is Korea Town. I know that as a Korean myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metro Matt Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 Houston has a Korean town or "K town" for short, but a suprisingly small Korean population over all when compared to Dallas which has its Korean area concentrated in Irving along Royal Lane near I35.

Houston is the diverse and international city in Texas. Houston, as a whole, as more Asians than all of DFW by over 30,000. That is with us having 500,000 less in population.

That is with us having 500,000 less in population.Houston's Asian population is larger than DFW's, no doubt, but its not as diverse as one might think. There are a lot of Chinese, Vietnamese, Phillipino, & Indian in Houston, but thats about the extent of it. The Metroplex has more Laotian, Thai, Cambodian, & Korean than Houston.

Trae Posted July 20, 2007 Author Share Posted July 20, 2007 And Houston has a larger Nigerian population...look we can go on about this, but Houston is the most diverse metro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metro Matt Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 As a whole, Houston is the most diverse metro in Texas if you were to include ALL race & ethnicities, but thats neither here nor there you're getting off the original subject now so I'll stop.

totheskies Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 I have to admit, I stumbled upon the Korea town in the Metroplex is very impressive, but I believe the Vietnamese community is much smaller than Houston and coastal Texas. Different strokes for different folks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rail Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 Your wrong there man.Trae, Metro Matt has it right about Dallas. It's Korean population is far bigger and more established than what you'll find in any other Southern city except Atlanta (which had close to 30,000 in 2000). I remember visiting Dallas in 1991 with my mom (I was only 8 at the time), and was astounded to find Royal Lane to be almost a carbon-coby of Buford Highway, which even in the early 90's was quite established. Royal Lane probably still looks like that today, but if Dallas' Korean community has done like Atlanta's, it's spread out tremendously since then.Houston's no slouch though in the overall Asian department, that I'll give credit to.
