We recently visited 은하수 with my foreign boyfriend, hoping to enjoy an authentic Korean dining experience reminiscent of Seoul. However, this visit left us with mixed feelings.The ambiance was less than ideal on a warm day as the air conditioning was not turned on, and there was a lingering smell of a wet kitchen cloth throughout the restaurant.

Condiments are free and you can ask for extra if you run out. Pricing is mid range and quality and taste is excellent. Free street parking after 6pm Mon-Sat and...
