Angeori Bakgeori — Restaurant in Seogwipo-si

Eating here was a pretty fantastic experience. The venue is fairly low frills, but welcoming. Staff aren't necessarily up for a chat and will plonk down the English menu, written on a couple of pieces of cardboard. I use the word menu lightly, it only has a few food options and a handful of drinks. But the food they do have is well worth it.

The main attraction is the set menu of four main dishes: tofu soup, steamed egg, grilled fish and pork. On top of that they bring about 10 complementary dishes ranging from pickled seaweed to kimchi. All pretty great! Wolf it all down with a beer and Soju and you'll be in a happy place. Best part is the price, cheap as chips with the whole experience costing less than $30...

There are only two menus here - vegetarian (8000 won) and non-vegetarian (9000 won). I got the non-vegetarian option. The main dishes are fried fish, boiled black pork, steamed egg and bean paste stew. Your table is then loaded with banchan galore - beansprouts, coleslaw, seaweed, padilla leaf, anchovies, cucumber, burdock root, vermicilli. I think many people come here because of the amazing variety of banchan at the price point. Best of all, you can get refills on the banchan. Overall, I enjoyed...

I'd call it a "cheap and cheerful" kind of place. Definitely not for carnivores - the amount of pork and fish for two people is very tiny. There are a lot of little plates with various vegetables, and something resembling scrambled eggs, so you won't leave hungry - but we've had better meals in Korea. Mind you, they were 4 times as expensive. So, prepare for a relatively simple meal that's very affordable and you won't leave...
