Hi,

I don't know if this question goes here or what but here goes! I read this article about a North Korean restaurant in Daejeon called Pyongyang Moran Bar. The article is can be read here http://www.nytimes.com/2006/05/25/world/asia/25korea.html?ex=1306209600en=d428e1fffd5eb4d6ei=5088partner=rssnytemc=rss

I just wonder a. is this place still open? b. has anyone been there? and c. where exactly is it in Daejeon? I'm heading up to Daejeon this weekend and would love to check it out.

Any help on this would be appreciated. Thanks!

I once went to the HQ of a company which supplies North Korean restaurants with ingredients. The owner -- a NK defector -- for some reason wouldn't tell me where I could find those restaurants. Very strange.

Still there apparently. Daejon, Seo-Gu, Dunsan 1-dong.

So I went to the bar yesterday. The only thing North Korean about it was the beer and the pictures of Kim Jong Il. Apparently, since the writing of that story, the North Korean cook left. Crying or Very sad

I guess I'm going to have to go somewhere else for some North Korean food.

Not the NK stuff. It's quite good.
