What is it priced like in Korea? Here most of the Korean restaurant's are
pretty pricey including my favorite one which I took Michael to on his last
visit out this way. Here most Korean places (other than happy teriaki) seem to
cater to only Koreans with the occaisional round eyes venturing in. Most Menus
are in Korean and only some of them have english listings included.

the fish cake was tan colored (which made me think of tofu) and flat cut into
small ribbons about an inch wide and less than 1/4 inch thick.
