Korean Culture Connection in Omaha, Nebraska






There is a small yet spread out Korean culture in the Omaha area. Following are some resources to get connected to the roots of this quietly proud group. I’ve lived here for over thirty years with a full-blooded Korean mother. I’ve had the fortunate experience of eating home made gourmet style Korean cuisine. She’s had to make do with what is available at the oriental stores.

The more one is around a culture, the faster they’ll learn about it.
