Shout Out to Koriente
I got an email last week from the owners of the new downtown Korean restaurant Koriente. I've not had a chance to sample their food yet, but they look like a very vegetarian and vegan friendly establishment. Here's what their email said:
I was on your blog and just wanted to give you a heads up about our restaurant, Koriente, if we're not on your radar yet. We're downtown on 6th and Sabine and we try to do healthy, fresh, home-style Korean food... meaning everything from scratch, no MSG whatsoever, ix-nay on any more sugar than necessary. And it tastes a lot better than it sounds. We've got tons of vegetarian/vegan items on our menu, so you should swing by and try out some of our food.
I looked at their menu on their website, and the vegan Ka-re and spicy noodles both look really good. They also have soy milk bubble tea. Yum! I hope to get down there in the next week and write up a review. If any of you have been there, please let me know what you think.

Koriente was absolutely awesome!
I went there during their lunch hour
and their complimentary Korean-style pickles were so spicy and tasty. Perfect for cleansing your palate in between bites and goes so well with the food.
The salad was beautiful too, with such bright colors mixed in with an oriental flare.
Even though the food is fast food, the atmosphere of the restaurant - tres cool, and the service and the presentation of the dishes make it hard to believe that.
I highly recommend Koriente!!
