Koi Fusion

Have you ever thought, “Should I go to Seoul for my vacation or should we zip on down to Zihuatanejo? I wish there was a way I could do both! Unless you have a large budget, combining these two places might not be possible…

One cool way to get to enjoy both cultures is to head over to one of the local Portland Koi Fusion trucks. Koi Fusion is what happened when Bo Kwon, the child of Korean immigrants, grew up in America and learned how to blend the food of two different cultures. After learning of the wild success of a Korean food truck in LA, he correctly guessed Portland needed one as well, and voila! If you’ve never tried a Korean-style burrito, just wait to you get your hands on one. Choose your protein (short rib, chicken, tofu, pork or bulgogi). It’s then mixed with Korean seasoning rice, cabbage slaw, cucumber, cilantro, shredded cheese, bean sprout, and salsa and topped onto a flour tortilla. The mix of flavors is brilliant. If you want to switch up the way you do party food, order a batch of Seoul sliders made with meat, tillamook cheddar cheese, wasabi mayo, cabbage slaw all loaded onto a tiny bun.
