New Seoul Garden Restaurant
A rare sight (and site) in many cities, but one that is slowly increasing, is that of the Korean restaurant. A relative newcomer to the western dining scene, Korean food incorporates all of the charms of Japanese and Chinese food, as well as an impressive number of its own. Korean food is known for its spicy broths, thick noodles and meaty dishes, all of which are expertly served at The New Seoul Garden. Specialty dishes include bi-bim bap, a rice, vegetable and meat dish – often featuring a fried egg – that is suitable at any time of day. Add kimchi, a tangy side of pickled vegetables, and you’re good to go.
