Ivy Tavern · Providence
Ivy Tavern is a Hope Street neighborhood pub owned by a Korean family, and its bibimbap with beef bulgogi has become something of an open secret among local cooks. Diners come in for the usual pub menu and stay for the one dish that reveals who is actually running the kitchen.
Den Den Korean Fried Chicken · Providence
Den Den Korean Fried Chicken double-fries its chicken to order near Brown, offering either a soy garlic or a spicy sauce alongside Korean pickled radish on the side. It has become a crowd favorite for people looking for something other than a standard buffalo wing, open daily from eleven in the morning to ten at night.
Gift Horse · Downcity
Gift Horse opened as a seafood comfort food restaurant with South Korean influences from chef Sky Kim, who built the menu around banchan side dishes for ssam lettuce wraps and a seafood pancake with housemade gochujang. The Downcity room blends a Korean pantry with a seafood-forward menu that stands apart from Providence's other Korean kitchens.
