Don’t trust at first sight the appearances of the little restaurant in the main street of the Eaux-Vives. Go inside and you will never regret it! The setting is really warm, with subdued lights at the back and the posters on the walls are lovely. The owner is extremely friendly and so are the waiters. The meals are delicious and the waiters will explain to you each of them if you have any questions. You should try the cucumber alcohol which is very original! Even if the meals are maybe a little more expensive than in other restaurants, they’re worth it. You should try the “Menu Asadal”: 2 starters, then the Bulgogi as the main dish and a coconut ice cream for dessert. Divine! My friends love to come back here. Details about this spot (Show on map)

@DPG: Is that to say that “the European standard” is better than how an average Korean might eat? As for stuff that is made at home being served in the restaurant, when it comes to ethnic food, I don’t know about you but I prefer to try the authentic version, which would be hard to find in a place like Geneva where there is not a huge Korean population outside of mostly visa students. Sure, there are certain things we eat at home that we can’t and shouldn’t expect to find in a restaurant but you sound kind of pompous. And the cost of everything in Geneva is expensive so why would a Korean restaurant not be? It’s not on the cheap side in North America either, especially the meat dishes (definitely not the BBQ meats). And seeung as how it’s a rarity, I believe the laws of supply and demand are at work here, and yes, the ingredients are not easy to come by in Switzerland.
I am supposed to visit there this evening. Great to find Korean Restaurant in GV.
Wow, a Korean restaurant in the middle of Geneva! That’s pretty amazing. I knew that there’s a lot of Koreans living disseminated around the world, but Geneva never came across my mind as a place to find a Korean restaurant. I like the outside decor of the restaurant. It seems to blend in with the surroundings pretty well but still has a slight Korean touch to its bleacher, door, and windows. But, the name seems a bit weird for a restaurant. The name arrives from either an old Korean legend or from the name of the capital of ancient Korea. Either way, quite irrelevant to eating it seems.
Anyway, I hope the quality of the food they serve live up to the European standard, because many Korean restaurants are owned by small families and meals there are cooked pretty much home style and may seem a bit out-of-place to be served in restaurants. And, it’s a bit odd that a Korean restaurant would be expensive compared to other restaurants in Geneva. I guess it’s because they have to fly in some ingredients they can’t find in Europe from elsewhere (which I guess would be a lot of stuff).
