| - I lived in Korea for two years and I lived off of Korean food from small hole in the wall diners. If anyone has been to Seoul, you can find Kimbab Chonguk, a Korean diner chain. This is the closest thing that I've found to it! The atmosphere, decor, and best of all PRICE, are just like what I experienced in Seoul. The food was amazing; I had kimchi jjigae with a plethora of sides. It tasted just like Korea :D
However, Korean food newcomers be warned, this place does match the Korean atmosphere that you'd find in Seoul. Your waiter will most likely NOT ask to see how you are doing, refill water, or bring you additional sides. This is not because they do not care about you, it's simply because that's how it's done in Korea. YOU MUST ASK for refills and/or additional items. Some may say "Oh, well they're in Canada and they should change accordingly". If you want the overbearing restaurant service that you're used to, go down the road and pay twice as much your Korean meal.
The only downside is that soju Korean vodka, is ridiculously expensive T_T
Anyway, if you're looking for some truly authentic (and inexpensive) Korean fare, check this place out!
