I stole it off the interweb:

Originally I found it by doing a Google images search:
'Korean flag babes' and then going to the second page of results. |

Actually at last count there are at least 5 korean restaurants in dublin now and a few fusion places. A couple opened up on capel street in past while.
Pretty good value especially compared to the overpriced japanese places like yamamori, aya etc. The soju is 8euro a bottle now though which is pricey but 5 or 6 bottles between 2 people= about 20quid each and gets you far more nicely pissed than the equivalent of 20euro worth of pints would! |

I like the hop house pub. Besides having a cool name, you can just get beer there if you like. Are there any other korean beery places around?
Edit: they just asked me to leave. |

I went to a Korean buffet place on Capel Street last month. It's called BonGa (www.bonga.ie). Food was ok, but kinda cafeteria style. The tempura was excellent though, as was the meat. No real jjigaes though which was a bit disappointing. I took the family there and they really liked it even though they mostly don't like spicy food. It's around 20 euro a head I think. There is also a noraebang upstairs that sounded quite busy.
I brought some mates to a galbi place on Parnell Street which was good. I spoke Korean to the waitress so we got free kimchi all night. And a "birthday" cake. Food and 2 beers each came to 16euro. You can't beat that in Dublin, and my friends loved it.
I've also been to that Korean bar with some students once. It was quite good as far as I remember (which isn't much). |

I met my wife in Winnipeg--I invited my Korean (fotb) neighbors to our church's Thanksgiving dinner, and they brought her along to translate. I gave her a ride back home through blowing snow in my 1980 VW Deisel Rabbit. The motor was so noisy we spent the entire hour-and-a-half yelling at each other. 7 years later, we haven't stopped.  |
