Well...usually Korean fare is 5000-8000 for lunch. I think 5000 for a set is reasonable in that sense. Quality and taste is questionable though.

Nothing here or any other place can beat the horrid fries made at the restaurrant I worked at when I was 16 (dishwasher). The owner somehow thought that darker was better when it came to deep fried foods. The fries were virtually black and preseasoned the instant they came out of the fryer. No joke, he would use the same deepfryer to cook chicken breast and bacon as he would the fries. I only ate the pizza there.

Let's face it. Korean's are beginning to get fat!

There's hardly any P.E. in public schools in the country. I hardly make it to a gym because of my office job.

Where are Richard Simmons or Billy Blanks when you need them?

Actually, there have been fat Koreans around for quite awhile!

There's a thread about it somewhere on this board - New York Fries

They're in COEX mall food court, aka Fast Food Haven, aka the Greasy Spoon Wink
