Goro Ramen
A stunning contemporary ramen house in OKC’s Paseo District, Goro has quickly become a city staple since it was founded a decade ago. The restaurant is helmed by Jeff Chanchaleune, a two-time James Beard Award finalist, meaning Goro’s emphasis is on both stunning flavors and wonderful hospitality.
Start with crispy gyoza – chicken dumplings with chili vinegar – or something more familiar like Brussels sprouts, Tokyo hot chicken and the Goro house salad. If you’re dining in a group, don’t miss the Nikumans (steam buns) with coconut shrimp, chicken, pork belly and tofu to choose from.
The star on Goro’s menu is, undoubtedly, the ramen. A new option is the Green Chili, with Tori Paitan broth, green chile miso tare, crispy pork belly, roasted tomato and blistered shishito peppers. Other highlights are the Battleship Curry with rich chicken broth, curry spice and chicken meatballs, as well as the Yasi with vegan broth, tofu, mushrooms and fried shallots. Visit Monday for the birria ramen option. Don’t forget desert, craft cocktails, plus wine and beer!
Seoul Pocha
Situated on NW 23rd Street in OKC, Seoul Pocha serves up traditional Korean cuisine in spades … alongside some karaoke fun for the whole family.
Begin with treats like fried seaweed rolls, garlic corn cheese, fried calamari, dumplings or a steamed egg bomb (lightly seasoned, fluffy steamed eggs).
Ramen options are ample, from spicy chicken to Japchae with pork. Next up is the mouthwatering Korean style fried kitchen and katsu, as well as tteok-bokki – rice cakes simmered in a spicy, sweet and savory sauce. Warm up with spicy tofu, as well as seafood soup or clam mussel soup, then enter into the stir-fried portion of the menu with bulgogi, stir fried spicy chicken with cheese, or the class chicken teriyaki. End with Korean pancakes, and wash it all down with traditional soft drinks plus unique cocktails.
Tikka Kabab
If you’re looking for delicious, traditional-with-a-twist and budget-friendly Mediterranean fare in Tulsa, look no further than Tikka Kabab.
Highlights at Tikka tend to combine beloved classics with American favorites. Take, for example, the tikka cheesesteak – grilled tikka in a Philly-style Hoagie with cheese, seasoned onions and bell peppers. There’s also the kebab burger – from-scratch kebabs topped with cheese, tomato, onion, pickle and lettuce. You can also grab classic gyros, burgers and Philly cheesesteaks, too.
Don’t forget the sides. Enjoy fried okra, onion rings, fries, grilled pita, samosas or falafel. And, of course, your meal wouldn’t be complete without some baklava to enjoy as dessert.
