I know its in the Hamra/ruwais area but have been unable to locate it. Can someone give me good directions? perhaps coordinates on google earth?

I used to eat there quite often but it was so long ago that I can't even remember what street it was on. What I can tell you is that every Korean in the city congregates there. Also, there is a Korean market next door. I think the wife runs the restaurant and the husband, the market.

Southern end of Olaya near the Holiday Inn and Computer Souk is one called Korean Palace. Fairly good place.

K, I hope I haven't got my embassies or consulates mixed up when I describe this but if I have you can look on a map of Al Hamra and see what embassies are situated a few blocks behind the Sofitel to the left....
It is not on a side street off Palastine but it is not to far away. If you are starting at the US embassy drive away from the sea past Soloman Fakeer Hospital and turn left just after Al Hamra Sofitel.
Drive up that road and then you will turn left onto a the road where the Iranian Embassy (I hope it is the Iranian one but I am not sure... there is an embassy/consulate landmark) is situated.
Drive just past it and turn left on the side road. You should see a small hospital a few blocks (2 or 3) on your left.
After the hospital turn left. A few houses (maybe 3) you will find the restaurant. It is a double story house and the gate should be open.

If you are taking a taxi just tell them to go to the Iranian Embassy in Al Hamra and then direct them from there.

I am really bad with directions. Wish I could be of more help!

I had the phone number coz I got lost but I don't have the number now. I will try get it for you. Much easier if you can phone the restaurant..
