You can get Baltika in Korea. I have it when I go to the Uzbek cafe in Seoul. They even had Balitka 9 when I was there a couple of weeks ago.

Where is the Uzbek cafe? Please tell all - subway stop/hours of business/food/prices etc.
Thanks

Get off at Dongdaemun Stadium station and take exit #11. Follow the road for a couple of blocks and you'll start to see Cyrllic signs. Head right down one of the streets and you'll come across the Uzbek cafe I go to. It is on street level with a little patio like area out front. Various garbage recovered office chairs sitting around. There are some other Uzbek places in the area.

Not sure of the hours.

Standard Uzbek cafe food - plov, cutlets, kooksi, pelminey, shashlik, non, samsas.

Plov is 5,000, soups 3,000 (I think), salads 2-3,000, shashlik 5,000 (2 skewers). I usually pay 10-15,000 for a full meal there.

There's an Uzbek restaurant in Incheon as well, but I haven't been there yet. A Russian/Uzbek restaurant in Daegu, and reportedly Uzbek places in Ansan.

Sorry, no idea. I think there's a sign that says Uzbek Cafe in Cyrillic, but I'm not positive.

I presume this is the one your refer to.

More Russkiyes use it than Uzbeks I would suggest.

Nope. I was just there a couple weeks ago, so it'll probably be awhile before I head back and get a name / picture. There's a hof across the street that's black and called American Hof, or something like that.
