A Korean restaurant chain in China (primarily Shanghai), and with one located a few blocks away on Huaihai Lu, I will be going back to Pankoo. The kimchi was actually good (was already going vinegary at last few Korean places I tried). I had paejan and a chigae, though I did find none of the wait staff recognized the Korean names. About ~20rmb for the dishes

Korean BBQ place next to COEX. It's apparently new and huge (two story), with complex ventilation systems at each table. Delicious and seemed business/tourist friendly. Yum.

Work dinner at Korean restaurant in Gangnam near COEX. Typical banchan (side dishes), pajun and meats, but what I loved was the dondon-ju (unfiltered soju), my favorite Korean drink!

Tofu House
Wednesday, May 9, 2007
Dinner with Rosabel
I had dinner with Rosabel at one of my local favorites, the Tofu House on El Camino. Totally bare bones cafeteria with white walls and seemingly no decoration, but the Korean food is good and cheap.
The menu is really simple -- tofu bowls, cold noodle bowls, BBQ, or bibimbop (rice in stoneware with all sorts of stuff on it). There are several different kinds of each of them. From my few times there and what I've heard, the tofu bowls and bibimbop are the best, BBQ not that great. My current favorite is the dumpling tofu bowl, which has meat dumplings and mochi type rice cakes, along with the tofu soup. I go for the medium spice, and still end up pretty sweaty by the end of dinner. Rosabel had the mushroom tofu bowl which looked good as well, and she went for the spiciest.
No beer here btw, just soft drinks, tea and water.
The best thing about Tofu House (and maybe Korean restaurants in general) are the unending banchan, or side dishes of kimchee, cucumbers, bean sprouts, potatoes, spinach, etc etc. The service is not necessarily fast, but you can always ask for more refills of any or all of the side dishes (we went through three dishes of cucumbers tonight).
Final bill was $20 for the two of us, $24 with tip (they don't take Amex). Awesome, cheap Korean food.
