^Yup.

Atlanta clearly #1. Dallas clearly #2. Houston clearly #3. And then Austin #4.

Beyond that it can be debated but the differences are negligible.

Atlanta's Korean community is HUGE.

In terms of metro areas as a whole:

1. Atlanta
2. Dallas
3. Houston

In terms of "Koreatown" within the metro:

1. Houston
2. Atlanta
3. Dallas

All 3 have a designated Koreatown, or atleast area. But even though Houston's Korean population is smaller than the other 2, the Koreatown in Houston is bigger and a more predominant Korean concentration.

Absolutely ridiculous. Thats not true at all. Houston's Koreatown does not have a larger concentration of Korean businesses and I challenge you personally to prove it does.

I would gladly personally meet up with you and go to Longpoint Dr and Blalock. Then High Hines Drive. It's something I've already done and would do again

The businesses are on Royal Lane, not Harry Hines.

And I asked for proof of your claim, not to take a ride with you. Tell me how many Korean owned businesses are in each. Also, tell me where Houston's Korean spas, bars, and radio outlets are. Atlanta and Dallas have all the above.

Comcast in Metro Atlanta also carries Korean TV networks / channels. Don't know how common that is elsewhere in the country?
