It's approaching two years since we learned Downtown Grand Rapids would be home to K-Rok, a Korean restaurant/karaoke bar. It's actually been three years in the making. I don't know about you but I was very excited to hear about this and have been anticipating its open. But now, I can't help but wonder, will it ever open?
The concept was created by the owners of Emonae, a Korean BBQ restaurant on 28th St. in Cascade Twp. K-Rok was set to open last March but was delayed by the pandemic. Then they revealed their new grand opening would be this Thursday the 15th, but that's not happening either. They shared the unfortunate news and issued an apology on their Facebook page, revealing staffing and shipping issues put a hinder on things.
