I'm not in Korea yet, but I found a couple very authentic Korean restaurants in my area. I just don't have any clue what to order there. Last time, I had a Pork and Kimchi stir-fry that was mighty good. What should I try next time I go?

I cant help with what meat to try, but you can't go wrong with plain simple bibimbab.


I would also recommend trying anything with ojingo (squid) in it.


Come to think of it anything served in a Dolsot is usually prettyt damn good.

I love food in korea so much, its heaven. Eating out is always so much fun and cheap, so much better than Britain. I love Bulgogi, Bim Bap, Bipimbap, Kimshi, jin ramyen. I get fat in korea! As for trying new things out, ask the waitress or waitor what they recommend?!? Just pick something random, ini mini minie mo? [/u]

Any Galbi, kimchi, ramyeon noodles, Mool ning Myeon, and the stews are divine.

Beef galbi/kalbi all the way. It's gotta be complete with the lettuce leaves, garlic cloves which I can barbeque and dwenjang sauce to dip the meat in.
You walk away reeking of barbequed meat (both your hair and breath), but it's worth it.

I do like other Korean foods a lot, but none of them deserve mentioning in the same post as beef galbi/kalbi.

Didn't we just do this?

I don't mind bibimbap sometimes, or bulgogi/galbi -- especially with 갰잎 (sesame leaves). Dwenjang or ssamjang on the meat is also nice.

Kamjatang!! Gotta love that pig-spine soup.

Gop-Chang is also pretty good (fried cow/pig intestines).

I also like Golbengi, Jokkpal and other quick-style stuff like odeng, ramyen and mandu.... Korean food rules!

I have no real preference but my girlfriend REALLY likes gochu.

My favourite is bulgogi. The other day they added squid to it (school cafeteria), which I didn't enjoy so much. Pork and squid together just doesn't make much sense to me, but that's my personal preference.

Bulgogi is excellent, and one of my favorites in the summer is nangmyeon (ice-cold buckwheat noodle soup). Other recommendations include hopang (red bean buns) and buchimgae (meat and vegetables pressed together in a batter - I've also heard this called 'Korean pancakes' by Korean students in the USA).

If you can find a place that does "shabu-shabu" go for it. My favorite style is a spicy broth with loads of mushrooms, to which you first add thinly sliced beef, then handmade noodles, then fried rice. It's quite a meal. Apparently it's more of a Japanese meal than Korea, but it's still pretty popular here.

매운갈비찜 (spicy beef stew) is one of my favorites. Not too complicated.

Soo Yook

Its boiled dog meat without the soup.

Sundubu, but it's gotta be spicey.
