|

Russian Gostiny Dvor is a Russian Restaurant that was recommended by my Russian friend Elena. Now she says that this is one of the few authentic Russian Restaurants in Korea. It�s over by Dongdaemun Stadium Station Exit 7 (Sorry my mistake.) [The name of the station has been changed to Dongdaemun History & Culture Park] and this area is like little Russia

After reading that, I'm definitely heading there tonight for dinner.
What are the directions to getting there exactly? |

Go out exit 7 (it's actually kind of hard to find it, the track area was under construction).
Make a u-turn on your right side. Take your first left down the small alley. The building will be in the alley on the left side. 2nd floor, yellow sign. |

It's NOT cheap, but well worth it. |

Obviously. Any issue with my directions?
I liked the beef stroganoff. The borscht was good. Pelmeni was good. Salmon...not to my taste. Nice beer on the menu as well.
A bit disappointed at the lack of pirozhki. I guess I'll have to find a nice uzbek place in the area. To tell the truth, it's a bit intimidating talking about restaurants around there because there's not much English or even Korean signage, and they seem to vary a lot in quality. |

I wish these blogs would have pictures of the exterior. Would really help finding/remembering these places. Anyways I'm 90% sure I've been there (if not there another Russian place out exit 7) and it's really good. Try the caviar pancakes. |

I think that I went there once before with an Uzbek friend. If I recall correctly, the food was fairly good. Nonetheless, I still prefer the Russian Uzbek restaurant up the hill and around the corner past the foreign store in Itaewon. |

It's a small sign out in front.
Next time, have a kvass.
Oh, and if a customer doesn't know much about Russian food, that's ok. The staff is helpful and friendly. |

Yeah, I love those places. That's definitely a great area for food.
I love the Kazakh restaurant, the Uzbek restaurant, and the classy Russian one in this ally with the beautiful chairs, the kvass and good food. I love Central Asian and Russian food. It's definitely one of the top for me in terms of the cuisine. We're lucky that Seoul has good Russian food. |

a chilled half litre of russian ice isn't a bad thing to have with a meal is it? |
