Sinabro, Korean & Noodle House Opens in the Third Ward

A Korean & Noodle House Just Opened in the Third Ward

Sinabro’s menu features bokki, ramen, stir-fried udon noodles and more.

Third Ward-ians know this space (316 N. Milwaukee St.) as the former home of Coquette Café – most recently Fool’s Errand. Close to two years after Fool’s closing, there’s a new tenant up and running – Sinabro, Korean & Noodle House. The name Sinabro is from the Korean phrase that means “slowly but surely without noticing.”
