GANGCHU – Korean
A modern Korean tavern on North Nebraska Avenue in Tampa, with private karaoke rooms behind the dining room and a bar stocked with soju, makgeolli and global spirits. The kitchen covers the core - beef bulgogi, soy garlic fried chicken, kimchi pancakes, beef mandoo, tteokbokki, bibimbap, kimchi fried rice - and adds chicken katsu and spicy jaeyook for good measure. It handles a quiet two-top and a full party equally well, with parking right alongside. Dinner first, microphone second.
