Korean Comfort Food

Kimlee Topokki



Whenever you walk around the neighborhoods in Seoul, you'll eventually come across street carts serving up what I like to call Korean Comfort Food. Although there are many of these places, most of them serve up much of the same things. This Seoul restaurant serves many of the same things as these street carts, but found in a brick and mortar location in Gangnam. It's located off exit 7, one street over and provides the option to either sit and dine or take things to go from their to-go window. We ordered the tteokbokki, and a fried rice dish between  my friend in I. I knew that the food itself would taste pretty typical because these types of foods are easily found everywhere, but this particular restaurant had a weird flavor. The food didn't look too fresh, and for some reason the fried rice was way too oily. I wanted to make this post so that whoever comes across this particular article doesn't make the same mistake I did. I would not recommend this place. But it may have been because we ate there on an unlucky night.
