Korean Fusion Restaurant

Some friends and I went by car to a traditional-meets-modern Korean food restaurant, otherwise known as "fusion".

An excellent lunch, though you have to enjoy vegetables to appreciate most of it.

We had the $26 per person multi-course serving (the lower-priced one), which I will present in pictures (note that the introductory salad and first two noodle dishes were consumed before I remembered to take pics; also, note that the individual dishes you see--those between the soup and the rice--are servings for 3 people):

Mushroom soup with a baked bread cap

"Water" kimchi (no hot pepper sauce; instead, a vinegary brine)

Mini potato/veggie mix pancakes, spicy and not

Raw tuna atop kimchi

Cooked octopus in medium spicy sauce with noodles

Beef and potatoes

Yogurt shrimp atop creamed sweet potato

Acorn jelly, sesame salad, greens, anchovies

Aged, cooked kimchi

Soup and rice



Afterwards we were escorted onto the enclosed patio to enjoy cookies and coffee/tea/sweetened rice water:




All in all, one of the best lunches that I have had in a long time.  Next time I would choose more of the "tradition" over the "fusion", but the meal was satisfying and well worth the price.
