A New York Times bestseller and one of the most praised Korean cookbooks of all time, you’ll explore the foods and flavors of Koreatowns across America through this collection of 100 recipes.

This is not your average “journey to Asia” cookbook. Koreatown is a spicy, funky, flavor-packed love affair with the grit and charm of Korean cooking in America. Koreatowns around the country are synonymous with mealtime feasts and late-night chef hangouts, and Deuki Hong and Matt Rodbard show us why through stories, interviews, and over 100 delicious, super-approachable recipes.

It’s spicy, it’s fermented, it’s sweet and savory and loaded with umami: Korean cuisine is poised to break out in the U.S., but until now, the cookbooks have been focused on taking readers on an idealized Korean journey. Koreatown, though, is all about what’s real and happening right here: the foods of Korean American communities all over our country, from L.A. to New York City, from Atlanta to Chicago. We follow Rodbard and Hong through those communities with stories and recipes for everything from beloved Korean barbecue favorites like bulgogi and kalbi to the lesser-known but deeply satisfying stews, soups, noodles, salads, drinks, and the many kimchis of the Korean American table.

If you LOVE Korean food and want to make it at home I used to live and work near a major metro Koreatown, and I miss the food! This book has been a godsend with enabling me to make korean food at home that matches my experiences in Korean restaurants. I’ve since made many delightful bowls of soup, kimchi far better than what I can buy at the nearest Hmart, and my pajeon is awesome.

Creative Korean cookbook with a story you can read This actually inspired me to try cooking Korean. I have since decided to leave it up to the people who know this style better than me. This is a cookbook that you can actually read. I enjoyed it, then gave it to my son who is a Chef. If you want to cook Korean this will give you all the basics and then some.

Get your Bibimbap on Been on a major Korean food kick thanks to this cookbook. The braised tofu recipe is the best tofu I’ve ever eaten, and I’ve eaten a lot of tofu. The sesame spinach is simple and perfect, a staple. I make it turn my back for a minute and it’s gone. Beautiful photos and writing. Highly recommended.
