| The Kal-Bee: Pembroke's Korean-American restaurant is simply wonderful. Whether you order a Korean dish or the meatloaf, make sure you start with a platter of kim chee.

| They always come back. New Pembroke eatery is making Giles County a destination for traditional Korean food.
More people are making Pembroke a destination, even driving from as far as Roanoke and Floyd, to try traditional Korean dishes at Kal-bee. It seems the food is creating a buzz, attracting people looking for something a little different when they dine out.

| A slice of Korean heaven in downtown Pembroke. The Kal-bee would be great even if it was only a very, very nice downhome restaurant serving fried chicken, country-fried steak, meatloaf sandwiches and the like in a friendly way.
Yep, they've got your country-style favorites -- green beans, mashed potatoes, corn bread. And if that's all you want, believe me, you can have a fine meal.
But the Kal-Bee is so much more because it's run by a Korean family who will set you up with fantastic American food.
. . . .
Now I don't want to pretend to be a restaurant reviewer, but let me just say that the yuki (fried dumplings) are fantastic. Even if you don't want to try a Korean entree, you owe it to yourself to order up a batch of yuki as an appetizer.
. . . .
Bottom line: Of all the New River Valley's unexpected treasurers, the Kal-Bee is one of the most unexpected. Now that I know it's there, I can't wait to go back.
