I am African American and I ate korean food for the first time a few weeks ago!. I had the Kalbi/ Galbi (korean barbeque ribs basically), and it was delicious!. In fact, I hope to eat more this weekend! Lol
I also enjoy the kimpab! (Basically rice with vegetables and beef wrapped in seaweed!.)
Those are pretty generic Korean foods and I have heard many people say they like Korean barebeque!.
You could also just let him pick something that looks good or which has tasty ingredients!. For example, I really like cucumbers, so when I eat at a sushi restaurant, I will normally try to get something that has cucumbers in it!. Or something that sounds interesting (like the White Dragon or Rainbow rolls)!.
So give it a try! I am sure he will enjoy the experience and appreciate you trying to broaden his palette!. :)

If he's an omnivore, definitely order kalbi (Korean short ribs)!. They're not spicy and they don't have any wacky ingredients, but man, are they good!.
In addition to this "safe" entree, I'd definitely encourage him to try the ultimate Korean food- kimchi! Even if he doesn't like it (very likely), at least he can say he tried it!. Everyone really ought to try kimchi once in their lifetime, right!? :)
