City Guide Review: Venus Kitchen (Seoul)
At Venus Kitchen, a restaurant tucked into a Hongdae alleyway, indie electronic jazz wafts through four floors of laid back southern Japanese vintage design. The food is a high quality bargain, and the scene is an unpretentious chance to experience a unique cuisine. Part Japanese, part Hawaiian, all delicious, Venus Kitchen specializes in Okinawa/Southern Island Japanese dishes.
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.
City Guide Review: Yaetmat Seoul Bulgogi (Seoul)
Bulgogi (불고기) ranks up there with foods like kimchi and bibimbap on the list of Korean foods that are well-known to foreigners. Bulgogi is marinated, thinly-sliced beef that is usually grilled with mushrooms, green onions, and glass noodles. With its rich and savory flavor, bulgogi is a safe bet for those who aren’t a fan of spicy food.
