Donburi (돈부리)

Donburi (돈부리)

There are lots of things on the menu, mostly okay, but just skip past it all and go straight for the salmon dishes!

bibigo (강남 삼성타운점)

bibigo (강남 삼성타운점)

For a fast, fresh, and even healthy lunch, try this bibimbap served in a hot stone bowl. While the dish itself may be familiar to many, the bibigo experience is worth a try.

김대감봉평메밀촌 교보타워점 (Bongpyeong Memil Chon)

Naengmyeon, the chewy Korean cold noodle dish, does a great job of beating the summer heat, but by now you may be looking for something new. If you are looking for a similarly cold lunch and like the taste of buckwheat noodles give this makguksu a try!

Expats in Korea know how hard it can be to find decent sushi. This looks promising: one of Japan's famous conveyor belt sushi chains has opened its first location in Korea.

Taco Rico

Taco Rico

Back when I attended college in Southern California, tasty, cheap Mexican food was everywhere. In Seoul, 10,000km from Mexico, we are not as lucky. When you do find good Mexican fare, the prices take some getting used to! Still, when I need my taco fix, Taco Rico is it!

The Butcher's Cut

The Butcher's Cut

It wasn't love at first bite, but this Gangnam burger joint (with ties to Smokey Saloon) has been getting better and better since it opened last year. Its back-to-basics burger almost satisfies my burger craving. Almost.

땅 (Tang)

Not your average Vietnamese restaurant! They aren't authentic, but then, they don't claim to be. Call it Vietnamese-Korean fusion.

부일갈비 (Bu-il Kalbi)

부일갈비 (Bu-il Kalbi)

This is a kalbi restaurant, but actually, we have only tried their kalbi once. Rather, we go for the 냉면 (cold noodles)!

강남교자 (Gangnam Gyoja)

강남교자 (Gangnam Gyoja)

Located in Gangnam, but at the end of a less-than-inviting side street, you won't find this restaurant unless you're looking for it. But this is my "mom-approved" place to get a taste of the famous 명동 칼국수 (Myeong-dong hand-made noodle soup) without braving the crowds (and stressed-out servers).

타누키 돈부리 (강남CGV점) (Tanuki Donburi)

타누키 돈부리 (강남CGV점) (Tanuki Donburi)

Donburi (like the Korean 덮밥) is a simple meal: just a bowl of rice with toppings. But oh, the toppings! Tanuki Donburi is not only our favorite donburi place, it is one of our favorite restaurants, period.

무봤나 촌닭 (Mubanna Chondak)

무봤나 촌닭 (Mubanna Chondak)

Although saddened by the disappearance of our local Kyochon Chicken, we were intrigued by the egg-themed chicken restaurant that appeared in its place. The funny name ("Did you see the radish, Country Chicken?") only heightened our interest, until one day, on a whim, we gave it a try. One bite and we knew we'd found a new favorite restaurant. (Sure enough, we've visited many times since then!)
