Jae is missed!

Woo jung in ayer or New jang su in Burlington

Westboro is closest but they skimp on their food. For me, as a Korean it tastes like home but that doesn't mean it's good. Home good can also come with being cheap and inconsistent but still be good. so keep that in mind.

If you want some quick bibimbap, tutti frutti on gold star is better than choose and mix by a lot.

If you want some quick wings, go to capn Louie in the auburn mall. It's the Cajun boil place.

The Y around this region is great. If Worcester doesn't work, there's one on rt 20 towards the other side of Shrewsbury too and they have an amazing facility

Ichibon in Cranston RI

I mean if you want a quick Korean meal I suggest the Tuti Fruti location across from the Home Depot. It’s pretty good and cheap

We tried the Y and Worcester fitness and finally wound up at the JCC. They have the best aquatic program in the city. Kelly, the aquatics director, does a lot of the level one classes and she is absolutely amazing with young kids.

I really like Arisu in Leominster

Don't knock it 'til you've lived it. It's very easy to get accustomed to traffic with Chinese characteristics.

Wong Dynasty in holden - great food, you'd have to look up who's playing and when

Worcester Fitness

Korean American checking in. Not much of my people’s food out here, sad to say.

Woo Jung in Ayer is the best option outside of Boston/Allston. My Korean dad is ultra picky when it comes to Korean restaurants here. But he enjoys it very much. My brother lives in LA, a Mecca of Korean food, and he still dreams about their jjamppong.

Westboro Korean is authentic but not the best. It’s ok and close by. I’ve only been there a couple times despite living maybe 10 min away. So take that for what it’s worth.

Sapporo is not authentic but good for Chinese/Japanese style food. The previous owner was a family friend and the food definitely changed from Korean to Chinese-influenced dishes after he sold it.

Woo Jung in Ayer, MA. A little out of the way, but absolutely amazing, authentic family owned restaurant. Very highly recommended.

I'm a lot older than most people on Woo Reddit and haven't lived in Worcester for a long time but am sentimentally connected. I'm probably the polar opposite on most issues discussed but still enjoy the Worcester news. My memories go back quite a bit and Worcester has always had these people who stand out for one reason or another. Many of them became urban legends of sorts and you could write a book about the stories that made them legends. Each story had a life of it's own and was embellished a little with each telling. So however humble, these folks all had their fifteen minutes of fame and you're not fully dead when someone still remembers you.

Yup. Burger joint is the last place I’m going for food. The whole concept of going out to eat (for me) is centered around getting something that is a serious pain in the ass to make at home, or trying something i’ve never had.

Yup. Hangover sucks as does broth IMO. Haven’t been to this place but poorly run restaurants deserve to be replaced.

Oof 😮‍💨

I know lol, I wish I could be more specific but I can't. He just has one of those faces that you don't forget. He was also loud, like you would always hear him talking with others in the neighborhood loudly in Spanish and laughing like he was having the time of his life. He had a lot of energy

I was just messing with you. I do this to my parents all the time. I try to tell them not everyone who speaks Spanish is Spanish. I have lots of Hispanic/Latino friends and they think it's funny/sad that people call them Spanish.

I don't think so. From what I know this kid didn't do any drugs besides actual weed. But still I'm sorry that the guy you mentioned passed....

I don’t know if they’ll allow it but if you are really dead set on finding him I would look at that as a lead and go to the target and try and ask employees or something idk you probably won’t get any information but it’s a lead.

Not Spanish lol sorry I meant Hispanic. The kid obviously looks like he's white but you would always see him around the Puerto Ricans and he would speak Spanish so I guessed that he was Hispanic/Puerto Rican.

Yeah I totally understand what you mean by main south being a community back then. Ever since Worcester started getting bigger and busier I feel like people stopped caring about others the way they did. A lot of people thought this kid was a junkie or in a gang but from what I know he was just going through some shit. Probably had mental issues or something similar, you would always see him around main south during the day and walking around by night and some people would just assume he was homeless or a crackhead. I managed to talk to the kid once when I saw him working at the Target on Lincoln Street, I didn't get his name but he seemed like good people. That was a while back though and I haven't seen him anywhere since. I just hope he's doing okay.

Westboro Korean is excellent. 10/10 recommend.
