This comment I’m going to make is to help you and your readers, not make any negative comments about your abilities. It is more natural to say (food name) baego juseyo, not (food name) baego. Since Korean generally follows the SOV unlike English’s SVO, the verb baego should come after thr noun of the name of the food.

We weren’t either vegans or vegetarians yet when we visited South Korea but I remember loving so much Kimbap, so healthy and delicious! I wish we had this very handy guide back then 🙂

In reply to Claire. @Claire: I'm excited for you! If you have an ipod touch or iPhone check out some Korea apps. There's Korean Food and Korean Cuisine (from KBS) and both have pictures if you ever get into a bind and need to point at pictures too. One or both are free. I have a post in iPhone apps for traveling Korea somewhere on here also. I can add the link when I get to my computer later.

Hi Christine! Thank you for this post. I had some difficulty ordering food in Korea when I went there two years ago with some friends as I don’t fancy kimchi that much. I am preparing for my solo 10-day solo travel to South Korea in March 2013 and I’m reading and browsing helpful blogs. This is helpful for me memorizing or rather saving a picture of hangul translation of kimbap- i think that would be my source of survival :-). Thanks a lot, have been reading your travel blog and I’d be getting most of your inputs for my 3D/2N in Jeju as part of my 10-day travel. More power!!!

In reply to Tom S. @Tom: Haven't tried the Rabokki but sounds like a diet killer and yet, carby good! I'm a fan of Soon Dubujigae. Bigtime! When I visited korea for a job interview recently, I spent half my week at those shops. In Daegu I just go to Kimpasa. No real preference yet. =)

Great post, Christine! I’ve got an orange restaurant guide over on my blog, too – they’re necessary in order to decipher the tasty goodness on offer!

Kimbap Naduri and Kimbap Nara are my favourites – never really liked Kimbap Cheonguk, their menu simply doesn’t cut it!

I could just do with some bibimbap right now, or donkasseu, or ohmygod rabokki (the ramen with ddeokbokki), with a roll of tuna kimbap on the side. Ahh 배고파!

So jealous! Wish I could find more healthy, cheap and quick stuff in the US.
