Nearly in every country there is at least one best Korean restaurant, which offers dishes of  traditional cuisine.  Various combinations of sesame oil, soybean paste, soy sauce, salt, garlic, ginger and, most importantly, chilli pepper, give korean food its distinctive spicy taste. But we know this food by its delicious meat dishes, one of the most famous of which is korean bbq (barbeque).Korean barbeque is usual item of menu of any best Korean restaurant. Crabs, mussels  porridge, noodles "nanmyon", pork and duck will be offered to you in the  most fashionable and best Korean restaurant "Gimganwon", situated in the hills with the same name.  Moreover, you can taste here pelmeni - small parts of  forcemeat, wrapped in thin layer of dough. Only here one can order national Korean alcohol- tincture on blueberries. Before visiting  a best Korean restaurant, be aware of the  fact, that bothcooking process and utensils serving on the table have their own rules and rituals. 
In a traditional korean restaurant people eat, sitting on small cushions ricght on the floor( in winter it is warmed up), so you will have to leave your footwear at the threshold. In the centre of  tables , which are  for about half a meter, there always stay a frying pan. These pans are mostly used by visitors, who cook food by themselves, without any help of  waiter or chief-cook. Coming in the best korean restaurant, be ready to have only two personal bowls- with rice and soup, while other food you will have to eat form one big public plate. The thing is that Koreans have no sequence of  changing meals, so you can start with everything you want. Moreover, in best korean restaurants you pay for your order only, and other dishes, like salads, sauces and rice are free! Moreover, if some of this food suited your taste, the plate wil be refiled as many times  as you want. The same is with korean steakhouses and pubs- you pay for alcohol and appetizers are stayded by the restaurant.  Isn`t it  nice?
Many korean dishes are more convenient to eat using sticks. For this purposes rice is always  balled up, cause it is not a garnish there but something like bread for europeans.
If you got accustomed to more traditional european manner of eating, you are always welcomed into "Ontchjongang Buffet"a best korean restaurant . It is a regular buffet, all the products of which are grown in the fields beside the restaurant. Here you can taste cuisine of both Koreas -South and Noth.
But if you are eager to impress someone or just to practice your culinary skill, I advise you to cook a korean bbq, that which is served in best korean restaurant. There is no dish taster and simplier in cooking , than this.  Take some  meat  (mutton is preferable) and make incisions on depth of about 5 mm. The secret of Korean bbq is in the sauce: in a big saucepan mix soy paste, garlic, sesame and  ginger, put there the meat and let it stay in refrigerator for a night (don`t forget to turn them from time to time). And then you only have to fry or grill it and savor your Korean barbeque. Bon apetite!
