Seoul Garden

Seoul Garden offers some of the Dallas area’s best Korean barbecue, in part because red-hot coals fire the grills at every table instead of gas.

Stratos Bar & Grill

Stratos dishes out what it calls “global Greek cuisine.” This means Greek specialties with a smattering of Mediterranean staples. For example, made-to-order fettuccini Alfredo and pastitsio, sharing table space with gyros. Patrons can watch and/or take instruction from belly dancers and salsa dancers Thursdays-Saturdays.

This rather unusual indoor sport combines playing jai alai, basketball and hockey while operating a bumper car, age requirement of nine-years or older, height requirement of four feet.

Kimchee is killer. Plus, the huge flat screen in the front of the dining room broadcasts Korean dating game shows; at least we think that’s what […]
