We recently dined at Nammoon Korean Restaurant on Nami Island and had a delightful experience with the food. I ordered the 도토리묵밥 (acorn jelly in cold broth), and my husband had the 돌솥 불고기 (bulgogi in a hot stone pot). Both our meals were delicious and full of authentic Korean flavors.

Choices on Nami Island are quite limited, and overall, this place...

There is acorn jelly salad and bibimbap. I chose bibimbap,warm and fulfilling and healthy for my tummy. Korean vegan food is the best vegan food. They should offer more vegan options in Korea and mark it so we can find...
