Oh Man, TaKorean Closes Today on U Street

By Prince Of Petworth


1301 U Street, NW

Off this one hurts. From TaKorean:

“TaKorean will be closing its U Street location this afternoon. This particular space wasn’t the right fit for the business at this time. We continue to thrive at our three other locations in DC and we recently expanded to Philadelphia in the newly renovated Bourse Food Hall. We will continue to look for other growth opportunities in the DC metro area in 2019.”

This TaKorean opened in April 2017. Previously this space was home to U Street Cafe and Mocha Hut before them. Updates when we learn what becomes of the space.
