Korea House Restaurant, Tucson

This Asian eatery on busy Speedway Boulevard has served fine Korean food for 15 years. It doesn't look like anything exceptional from the outside, just a typical Tucson brick building surrounded by dusty parking lots, but once you step inside, you're immediately transported into East Asia. Eastern imagery abounds here. Seating is available on chairs as well as on mats (for those of us that know how to sit cross-legged). Booths with curtains drawn provide real privacy, if that's what you want. The favorite dish here is Beef Bool Gogi (barbecued beef). Vegetarian choices are also available.
