Just got back from a restaurant that was recommended to me near Juan Station (Incheon) called On the Map.

The owners are American and their amazing food is worth the trip out there. I had a pulled-pork sandwich and my friend had the taquitos; both were like home cooked meals from back home. The owners pride themselves on being NON-FUSION.

I also saw on the menu that they had dishes like pad thai, amazing desserts, vegetarian choice,etc.. The owner told me she grows her own rosemary for the rosemary lentil soup. Everything is made from scratch and their prices are really reasonable.

They have a shuffleboard and projector wall screen for sports events, etc. too.

To get there: Juan station exit 8, take first left, first right and it's just down the side street to the left (the first or second side street, can't remember), 2F.

Sorry for the plug, but the owners are so nice, and their food so yummy...happy eating!

I'm thinking about making a trip down there just for that. It's been almost 5 years since I've been to the Juan/Yeonsu area

When you say the prices are reasonable, what do you mean?

Oh ;(

Not bad, I guess, but I was hoping for another 3k won for a 6inch sub + soda like the philly cheese thread. 12k won for dinner? i guess it's worth it once in a while.

3,000? C'mon, get real. Cheapskates should stay home anyway, they usually spoil the fun.

12,500 for two taquitos and three ramekins of cheese, sour cream, and guacamole? That's a little pricey.

I will check this place out; hopefully they have sticky white rice and kimchi side dishes.

What exit do you take?

No, seriously. there's another thread about philly sandwiches at 2500 a pop, 6 inches no less. Obviously that's a rare deal, but 12500 is average-mite higher than average price for a single meal, in my opinion.

of course, i'm a cheapskate when it comes to food: i tend to eat mostly cheap korean/chinese.


still waiting on an answer if that philly cheese place is open. someone's gotta know..

Please post here after you eat there with info on what you had, how much, size, taste, etc. I'd like to give it a try but it's like a 3 hour trek from my house.

I checked out On The Map and loved the food! I wanted to try many things, but ordered the hamburger and made my friends order the pad thai and the rosemary lentil soup and shared. The cheeseburger was 8500 and served with lots of potato chips and a real dill pickle! The soup came with a big salad and is 12500, totally vegan. The chicken pad thai was a large serving and was also 12500. There is also a brunch menu and is served all day. They mentioned they were getting beer on tap soon and going to be showing hockey, football, rugby, etc. on their new projector. Great mood and I'll be going there again soon!
