Rob13 Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 I read somewhere, all the Korean restaurants in Cambodia and many in Europe are North Korean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yellowboat Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Was always curious as to where the North Korean Embassy is in Thailand. Being a vegetarian will pass on eating at the restaurant . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have also been to North Korea twice so wanted to see how 'authentic' it was. According to them the food is good as is the entertainment (live music and dancing) I'll definitely go at some point.

ESCAPIS Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 I love all sorts of cuisine. still, the best way to determine what food it really is, is to sneak a peek at who is really cooking. i have found from experience that authentic cuisine is indigenous to its nation.

Deli Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 If the food is authentic, than they will probably have empty pots and pans, as well as plates. Maybe some NGO care package ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruisemonkey Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 I worked in South Korea for six years. There's no such thing as good Korean food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phkauf Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 I was told in Cambodia that the North Korean restaurants were fronts to distribute counterfeit US$ (since it's basically the currency in Cambodia). Apparently they are never busy and yet never go out of business. Seems plausible since N. Korea is generally considered to be the biggest source of the high quality counterfeit currency.

I think it's the best food South Korea has to offer. Not just the food but the whole experience that comes with it. The friendships and bonds you make while having your food. Unless you're a total social retard, dinner in Korea is almost like going to a nightclub in terms of making connections, friends, girls you name it.

mike324 Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 My Korean friends says its one of the best korean restaurants in Bangkok. N Korea wants good reputation so generally all the food and service at their restaurants are tops, that is unless you don't like the taste of it...which is not really their fault Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickJ Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 When the TV show Don't Tell My Mother was in N.Korea. His hosts treated him to a mussle clam bake in a parking lot. They doused the whole lot in gas and lit it. Wonder if those are on the menu. I wouldn't spend a Satang in a N. Korean restaurant. That's kinda like buying a sweater from a shop knowing a slave made it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
