Koo Zee Doo Delivers Portuguese
Posted by Foobooz on November 23rd, 2009
Lari Robling has a better Northern Liberties experience than Craig LaBan did at Kong when she visits Koo Zee Doo, a Portuguese BYOB.
With its emphasis on sausage and seafood, Portuguese cuisine isn’t known for being vegetarian-friendly, but Gilberg does manage to make this soup vegetarian as well as offer a fried corn porridge with fennel, fava and green beans that is vegan.
Me, I’m going for as much of the chorizo sausages that Gilberg can get from his source in Newark, N.J. He gets many products from Portugal – such as the olive oil and sea salt – but the meats are as authentic, fresh and sustainable as he can get.

Good but not great. heavy, savory, very affordable and friendly. Some of the appetizers especially the shrimp and mushroom turnovers should be avoided. The entrees were very good. The steak and duck rice were excellent.

i’m with mazza. i went on friday and the staff was very friendly (even as my group was loud, slow, and did i mention slow? but they were great about it) and the food was great. It was heavy in general, but delicious.
I also agree with jeff that the shrimp turnover wasn’t up to the par of the rest of the meal. But those entrees were awesome and the squash and chestnut soup and the goat cheese were appetizers on par with the entrees. isn’t it normally true that entrees can’t compete with the appetizers? lol.
i will be back. many times.
