Fodor's Expert Review Hangaram

A great option for beginners to Korean cuisine, Hangaram is a small restaurant away from the Myeongdong center that specializes in hanjeongsik (full course Korean meals). The set menu with dried yellow corvine and the lotus leaf rice are two popular options, but the highlight of the meal, regardless of what you order, is undoubtedly the banchan (side dishes); visitors rave about the japchae (stir-fried glass noodles) and cucumber-peppers tossed in doenjang (soybean paste). There is a homemade feeling to each dish and the staff are welcoming and friendly. Come hungry as the portions are incredibly generous.
