3 Country Bistro Woburn

As the name implies 3 Country Bistro in Woburn are serving Thai, Japanese and Korean food. This is another restaurant that doesn't have a website, but the menu can be found here. Doing it this way doesn't show their lunch specials. The lunch menu seemed to be identical to the dinner menu with lower prices and a few added lunch specials.

They are on Main Street in Woburn so parking can be sparse. There is a big communal lot behind the restaurant.

The inside is small but was impeccably clean, and the heat was on.

Lunch comes with a miso soup that was actually tasty. It also comes with a big metal soup spoon.

I started with the Asharhi Cucumber Appetizer ($7.95). "Tuna, salmon, yellowtail and avocado, rolled in thinly-sliced cucumbers and served with ponzu sauce". The cucumber wasn't that thinly sliced, but it was a nice dish, and the ponzu sauce was good.

Next was the Okdol Bi Bim Bab ($10.95). "Assorted seasoned veggies and your choice of meat with cooked egg on top. Served with miso soup and rice". Half of the egg was overcooked, and the other half was raw. The chicken was dry. The Gochujang was tasty without being too spicy. The rest of the dish was fine with nicely cooked veggies and properly cooked rice. The trick here is to mix everything together except the bottom layer of rice.

When the socarrat has formed on the bottom, scrape up all the rice and mix it into the dish. Now you have nice crispy bits available.

The chairs have been taped up, and the paneling is scratched as are the walls. The service was very friendly, and the waitress had everything under control even when they got really busy. I have had their Chirashi ($16.95), and it was excellent and a good value.
