HAN CUP — Restaurant in Essen

update 14.04.2025: unfortunately the take away version of the tteokbokki is really small. I didn't even get any 어묵 / fish cakes inside, only 떡 / rice cakes.

For this price you can go to a decent restaurant that cooks your food on the spot. I order 1 bulgogi for myself, another dish for my gf and some fried chicken as a side dish, and end up having to pay more than 50 euros for it which is crazy. They really have...
