What makes a good mom and pop restaurant?
This meal was filled with 정 and deliciousness. Recently I was asked this questions, “What makes a good mom & pop restaurant in Korea?” When I first arrived here it was one of the most perplexing things for me and I never thought I would ever be good at it. Everything looked the same and I couldn’t deduce what was good and what was bad. I felt helpless when it came time to pick a place to eat. My solution, just start walking into any place I saw and just…

Dr Yoo Chinese Take Out
When Dr Yoo’s Korean restaurant announced they were offering Chinese take-out I wasn’t very inspired to try it. Just being honest. When restaurants decide the are going to offer something completely different than what they do in order to meet market demand, it’s usually a complete train wreck I don’t want to get involved in. Plus, Chinese food in Korea is often the worst. However, after a while, the word on the street was solid enough I decided to go give it a try. Peer pressure totally works on me.…

Zip (delicious meat near AK Plaza)
For years now, I’ve been looking for a samgyeupsal restaurant near AK Plaza that made me want to come back. I’m not saying I haven’t eaten meat downtown town and thought it was fine, but none made me dream of a return trip. (Yup, I’m a meat snob now. I never even saw it coming.) Not until now. Which is why taking a vacation is so important. With more time to meet up with friends and just chill out, I found the motivation to give the city center one more…

The Big Bite
Quite frankly, because The Big Bite advertises themselves as a family style restaurant I’ve been avoiding eating there. Usually, at these type of places, there is nothing on the menu that I’m interested in and I only eat there out of obligation to try the place. However, I’d seen that they had a Caesar salad so I decided to just see what kind of craziness would ensue. Despite my negative attitude, The Big Bite was a pleasant surprise. We ended up not only trying the Chicken Caesar, but also the…
