Korean Food at Emart

Before we moved from Anseong, we wanted to blog about some Korean food. One of our favorite places to shop is Emart. There is a food court there with a wide selection of food, so we thought we would give it a try.




As with many restaurants in Korea, the menu is at the front of the restaurant. There are plastic models of each dish on display with the price and number. This is actually a terrific idea, as you can see what you are eating. After you choose your meal, you tell the cashier what you want, and it's automatically transferred to one of the kitchens. When your order is ready, your number flashes on a display.




I had the bulgogi and my friend had the champong. Bulgogi consists of thinly sliced beef in a broth accompanied with onions and various other vegetables. The side dishes are kimchi, Korean radish, and black beans. The champong is a seafood soup which has oysters, squid, mushrooms, and various other vegetables in it. The side dishes are of radishes, kimchi, sweet and sour chicken, jajangmyeon, and fried rice.




Both of these meals were 6,000 Korean won each and tasty. Most Korean restaurants, this one included, has a water cooler with metal cups housed in a sterilization machine.

In conclusion, the food was fairly decent, and the price was quite reasonable. I would certainly eat there again.
