Right From The Seoul

Living in another country has its perks - experiencing a different culture, taking part in the sights and possibly learning a new language! And while this is all great fun, you need to find food places that remind you of home~

In the little town of Ramstein-Miesenbach, I came across Seoul Restaurant. While the main cuisine is Korean, they also serve some Chinese and Japanese dishes.

I decided to go with the Spring Rolls with Duck meat for the appetizer, Beef Bulgogi with mixed vegetables for my main entree and Green Tea to wash it all down.

The tea arrived first and -culture shock- I came to notice that a packet of sugar came with it. At another establishment where I had ordered Jasmine tea, that place had also served my tea with a packet of sugar! Very interesting - I suppose the Germans don't favor the raw taste of tea? I love a nice blend of sugar and milk with my Breakfast tea, but never would a dare to sweeten up my Green or Jasmine tea! Regards, the tea in itself was sufficient to my need of a warm beverage.

The Spring Rolls came soon after. Not as much of a Duck flavoring as I was anticipating, but enjoyable nonetheless. Sweet and sour sauce was served alongside and added a nice little kick to the overall taste.


The Beef Bulgogi with mixed vegetables was by far my favorite part of the meal. The taste of the beef was right on the money and I simply couldn't help myself! It was exactly what I had hoped for~ The side dishes were equally satisfying and by the end of dinner, no take-away bag was needed!

To add to the appeal of this restaurant, I'll have you know that I revisited this place a second time to try out some other dishes! Thus far, this place definitely gets a thumbs up from me. Especially if you're like me - living away from home for a while - and craving your regular dosage of quality Korean meals. And like I mentioned earlier, they also serve some Chinese [Read: Spring Rolls with Duck meat is most likely derived from this cuisine] and Japanese dishes. While not the most elaborate, it's a nice additional feature.

A word of advice though, if you're lookin' to go on a weekend, be forewarned that the establishment is quite small [Capacity of around 50]. On the first go, I went on a Sunday evening and there wasn't much of a crowd. However, on Saturday evening, they are rather busy. So either get there early or possibly expect to wait a bit. Either way, hopefully you'll leave with a full stomach that was worth every euro!
