I think the translation for this one is:
"with the Go-koryo king"
A mini history lesson: before Korea was Korea, it was the 3 kingdoms of of Shilla, Go-koryo, and Baekjae. The kindgom of Go-koryo actually fell in 668 AD when Shilla unified the 3. This unified kingdom eventually became Korea many many years later.
Well first of all, I loved the copper bowls that they served everything on and the copper silverware. It did make it seem kind of royal.
The menu was pretty typical. We got 2 orders of "nemg-myun": spicy and regular. Perfect for a summer day- though I've been warned by my acupuncturist that cold foods shouldn't be eaten in the summer.
One dish that I'd never had before was the raw beef rice bowl. It's like bibimbap with raw beef and egg. Slimy....
Well I'm no longer curious about that one. And with the Koreans protesting mad-cow-disease-laden American beef, we did make sure this beef came from Korea.
The final dish was bulgogi. This dish is typically grilled on a pan, but at this place, they made it kinda soupy. It's not too pretty in the photo but it was yummy.
To find this restaurant, go to the neighborhood by Hong-ik University and find the reproduction of the clocktower in Prague. Then turn the corner towards the big street after gawking at this faux-strosity.
