Nostalgic BBQ spot
Fancy the genuine Korean way that you can wrap the meat in a lettuce leaf in a steamy bustling environment? Then look no further than BBQ 7080 as you will feel transported to the old style Korean BBQ eatery attached to the gas station. But the gasoline barrels here are the crafty round chairs that let you store your coats and bags, avoiding the greasiness and smell.

As authentic as the restaurant appears, there are offerings of real Korean specialty BBQ food like pig skin, pig and beef intestines and so on. And also delightful are the wide assorted appetizers in small plates and also cold seaweed soup which is best to go with the piping hot grilled meat.

Cheers for chicken
Looking for something more interesting for post-work drinks? Why not a Korean style bar like Chicken HOF & SOJU in Tsim Sha Tsui and drink up with some wonderful seasoned fried chicken? This yummy comfort food is available in original, soy sauce, and sweet and sour flavors. Snacks of crackers and cabbages salad are served throughout the night. Alternatively, head to Mix & Rice for a cozier environment to enjoy nicely presented fried chicken with sticky, sweet, spicy red sauce. Same as HOF & SOJU, the Korean brand beer or stronger distiller Jinro are available to give the ultimate Korean experience.

And in the run up to coldness in town, perhaps you need more ideas beyond all the run-of-the-mill hotpots. Spicy Andong in Mongkok has something for you for it has just emerged not long ago as the first eatery in town to offer Andong jjimdak, the famous Korean family dish of a whole chicken simmering in a soup made with leeks, onions, potatoes and spices. Sweet, spicy, and salty, the chicken pieces are meant to be flavorful but better still are the cellophane noodles which absorb the best of the stew. Yet, OpenRicers generally find it leaves much to be compared with that in Seoul.

Noodles cravings
Korean noodles dishes have a lot to offer, making a good contender to the local Cantonese counterparts. That’s why while cold noodles have been refreshing in summer; it is no less enjoyable to slurp some hot noodles to fill your stomach. For an all-day quick fix, you will like the casual fast food chain Hungry Korean that serves up Chapchae, spicy ramen noodles in soup, and Korean army stew, which are fair value for the money.

And Chef's Noodle is a newly opened international franchise from Korea, offering its very own noodles topped with generous and colorful ingredients of eggs, spouts, fried tofu, meat, chives, and beef broth. And tucking into these delicious noodles is for a good cause as the restaurant operates as a social-enterprise in Hong Kong.
