It’s a very brief menu – barely half a dozen options on a typical night, each dish artfully illustrated in colored chalk on a blackboard spanning one wall of the narrow dining room. The house specialty is “KFC” wings, the K standing for Korean. Great Ramen and Rice bowls. Only 20 seats, it fills up quickly and there's almost always a wait. https://www.facebook.com/MkokkoDurham/
