Summary:
There are a significant number of Koreans in Uzbekistan. Many of the Koreans there today are descendants of Korean immigrants who were deported from Russia in the 19th century. Even a lot of Koreans under 30 who have adapted after migration do not speak Korean, they still strong ethnic ties. In New York, there is a Korean-Uzbek restaurant called "Cafe at York Mother in Law. The food is predominantly Uzbek or Korean, not really a mixture of both.

Thoughts/Emotions/Observations:
I like how the Koreans made an attempt to preserve their culture, despite all of their journeys. They were able to keep it alive after their deportation and when they ended up in Uzbekistan. The Uzbek-Korean restaurant indicates the Koreans and the Uzbeks have made an attempt not to coalesce their food since the article stated that most food in the restaurant are either Korean or Uzbek, but not really a mixture of both. I appreciate their efforts to keep the types of food separate.
