Read guide →Korean cuisine (hansik) is built around balance — fermented sides (banchan), a steaming bowl of rice, and a main dish that changes with the season. Meals are served all at once rather than in courses, and sharing dishes at the table is the norm. The depth of flavor comes from slow-fermented pastes like doenjang (soybean) and gochujang (chili), which form the backbone of soups, stews, and marinades across the country.

I just had my first taste of Log House Dakgalbi. It's been a while since I've had old-fashioned dakgalbi, and it's so delicious. The seasoning is just right, and the flavor is truly delicious. The fried rice is also a huge hit. I had a great time.
