Origins of Tapas
The Spaniards are credited with the concept of tapas and they have established a proud history of preparing tapas variations. The word “tapas” is derived from the Spanish verb tapar, “to cover”. The idea would be to cover the table with an assortment of tapas that is intended to be shared and enjoyed by a group of friends or family. We have adopted this theme to create Barn Joo as a tapas restaurant.
Interesting Fact about the Origins of Tapas:
King Alfonso X, el Sabio or “the Wise One” advised Castilian taverns to serve wine accompanied by something to eat, so that the clients would not become swiftly drunk.

Barn Joo strives to be more than a traditional Korean restaurant and we are always looking to prepare innovative dishes that are unique to our restaurant. Organic ingredients of a high quality, also play a significant role in bringing out the desired taste that we want to provide for our restaurant’s guests.
