Restaurant Review #6: Dweaji Sanyang (돼지사냥) Samgyeopsal

So I’ve been in Korea for a while now and honestly I’m a bit over the whole fried meat thing.  One samgyeopsol (삼겹살) joint taste like another to me anymore… but then there’s Dweaji Sanyang (돼지사냥) .  It’s downtown, just a stones through from the Daerungwon tombs and if you’re looking for a different experience [...]

It’s been a little while since I’ve updated the links, so here’s a run down of a few websites and blogs I’ve dug up in the last month or so.
If you’re new to Korea or want to learn more about Korean food, my friend Pete hooked me up with a link to TriFood.com. It’s focus [...]

Restaurant Review #4: Cheonghakdong (청학동) BBQ Duck Restaurant

If you’re into Korean food but you’re tired of the chain restaurants downtown or student samgyeopsal (삼겹살) joints in Seonggeon-dong, there’s a little road running between the two that’s probably just what you need.  On a 3 block strip there are about 20 Korean restaurants and I haven’t been disappointed yet by any I’ve been [...]

Restaurant Review #2: Hwangjanggun (황장군) Galbitang

If you’re in the neighborhood of Seonggeon-dong for dinner and not really in the mood for the same old samgyeopsal (삼겹살) (grilled pork), try out Hwanjanggun (황장군) sometime.  This place has been a favorite of ours years.  Yeah, I know I throw that word “favorite” around a lot, but we go here about once a [...]

Tips for Tourists Part 1: Seonggeong-dong (선건동) Nightlife

As for restaurants, samgyeopsal (Korean BBQ) is huge here along with dakgabli (spicy chicken stir-fry) and any other Korean cuisine that’s grilled, cheap and goes well with drinking. The variety is descent though and includes a few foreign joints too. If you’re not in the mood for Korean, you can try Japanese (Izakaya, Robadayaki, etc.), Chinese (Chin Chin, China Cook), Italian (Gratzi & the new Gratzi Hoff) and Vietnamese (Oranee).
