What is Russian cuisine like? Is it mostly meat-based?

Oh, and thanks for the link.

The main course is vodka and borst.

why anyone would purposely look for Russian food is beyond me

it's so bad that the line for the first mcdonalds there had over 30,000 people

Good list.

I'm a bit suspect though for 2 reasons.

1. Just because a restaurant has cyrillic script on the front doesn't indicate that it is Russian, infact it is usually a Koreanized version of something that may vaguely resemble Russian food.

2. I'd say the Dongdaemun "Russian" establishments are out numbered by the Mongolian ones about 10 to 1.

Don't forget about this one, Gostiniy Dvor

The restaurants are not Mongolian in the Dongdaemun. They are generally Uzbek (2) and Kazakh (1), and there is one that is more Russian styled restaurants. All of those restaurants carry Russian food. So, you have a Central Asian-Russian cuisine at those places except for this one that is more of a Russian restaurant and also serves stroganoff.
