The Details on Woo Lae Oak
Save Money:
Most of the appetizer menu is offered in two sizes; the smaller size is an economical way to graze, Korean tapas-style.
Where to Sit:
Be sure to ask for one of the tables with a grill if you want Korean barbecue.
What to Drink:
Wine offerings are limited, so try a small bottle of soju; a vodka/sake-like spirit, this version is made from barley, sweet potato and tapioca.
The Extras:
The chef's "special dinner" of eight courses for $40 is a relative bargain and a great way to try a variety of dishes.
Smoking Permitted:
