From a press release:
“TaKorean, known for its combination of Korean inspired flavors with a Latin American twist, will open its fourth location in the U Street Corridor of Washington, DC in the early spring of 2017.
Located at 1301 U Street NW, TaKorean will be situated in the heart of the historic U Street District. “The 14th and U Street area is home to so many of our customers,” says Mike Lenard, Founder and CEO. “We couldn’t have found a better place to continue growing the TaKorean brand.”
TaKorean has enlisted Edit Lab at Streetsense, a local firm known for their visionary and authentic work, to design the restaurant. Design Director Brian Miller says, “We’re excited to be working with TaKorean on refining the store design we developed with their first location and making a shop that fits U Street. We’ve done many projects in this neighborhood and as
it becomes more of an all-day destination it’s great to see more quick service options. The
new TaKorean will be bright and open, adding more material textures and colors to their
established palette.”
TaKorean continues to look for opportunities to open more locations in the DC metro area. “We are growing at a pace where we can sustain our high quality operation and continue to
offer new opportunities for our team members,” says Lenard.
TaKorean’s U Street restaurant will offer its healthy, balanced, and customizable menu of Korean inspired meats, tofu, an array of slaws and vegetables, house made sauces and toppings. TaKorean is proud to continue partnering with local producers, Running Byrd Tea Co, Capital Kombucha, Captain Cookie and the Milkman, and local breweries.
