Cafe Duck Butt the place to go for Korean tapas
The Korean restaurant and karaoke bar to hang out at nowadays is Cafe Duck Butt in Kakaako. Consider it a Korean tapas place to wind down with friends and $1 songs.
The new ownership has taken a progressive stance on Korean food. Popular items include poke, Korean-style fried chicken and my favorite, tripe. You might also want to try the Korean tacos, offering a choice of bulgogi, spicy pork or chicken, marinated with Korean chili soy vinaigrette and romaine slaw and cilantro. Happy hour is from 5 to 8 p.m.
