City Guide Review: Tamarind (Seoul)
I have eaten both lunch and dinner at Tamarind restaurant and found it delicious both times. I don’t believe a reservation is needed, though at lunch the restaurant seems a little more busy. For lunch, I had grilled steak with rice, which was only around 10,000 won. For dinner, a friend and I split Course C which consisted of a green curry soup, a springrolls salad, fried shrimp with lemon sauce, Vietnamese-style chop steak, and beef pho or fried rice as the last course.
The Voice
As we descended the dark stairwell, the hum of a thousand angry bees rose to greet us, setting my teeth on edge. We opened the door at the bottom of the stairs, squinting in the blinding light as an ear-splitting squeal blasted in our faces. Upon our entrance, the small circle of adults squatting on the floor paused momentarily and nodded to the curious strangers before resuming the cacophonous din.
