Side Dishes in Korea

Why do we get served so many each meal? 

1. Background Information 

One of the most appealing things about eating out in Korea is the unlimited free refill on the side dishes, known as banchan. 

This practice is deeply rooted in Korean history and character as a nation 

2. Kimchi 

There are hundreds of different types of kimchi, but the signature cabbage banchan is offered at pretty much every restaurant. 

Koreans have for generations been storing vegetables in pots to ferment so that they will have food available for the winter. 

3. Common Banchans 

Other than kimchi, there are bean sprouts, cucumber vegetables, and sesame leaves pickled in soy sauce. 

Some of the more luxurious Korean restaurant sever egg rolls, tteokbooki, and ganjang gejang. 

4. Banchans At Restaurant 

Eating at a Korean restaurant is always an exercise in how to maneuver all the dishes to actually fit on the table. 

It is not uncommon to receive 3 or more different banchan dishes alongside the main course that you order. 

5. Homemade Banchans 

During a kimchi-preparation event called kimjang, a large amout of kimchi is laid out for all members of the family work on. 

This practice is less common these days, but parents still like to prepare kimchi and distribute it to their children as a show of affection. 

6. Why Are Banchan Unlimited? 

One reason is that white rice was much more expensive than kimchi and banchan during difficult times in the Korean economy. 

It was too expensive for restaurants to give refills of rice, but in order to make sure you were full, they offered you a second helping of banchan. 

7. How Is Banchan Served? 

In order to reduce operating costs, some restaurants have suggested limiting or removing the unlimited banchan options, which many Korean people weren’t happy about. 

To meet in the middle, many Korean restaurants these days have adopted a self-service system in which you can eat as much as you like, but you have to approach the food station and fill your own bowls.

Korean BBQ with my mom and my only daughter as a post-birthday celebration at Gen Korean BBQ in Concord, CA.

Ok, since the cook's husband doesn't want to come to the restaurant anymore to watch the front, tending groups of 30 alone became a challenge now and now I have to collect money too from the korean tourists for additional consuption (beer, ramyeon etc...) all while I only speak the obscure mix of korehunglish.

With my co-worker (who also only speaks korehunglish), we tried to convince the cook that please please at least leave the kitchen for 5 minutes to help us collect the money while we are drowning in 60+ people.

Cook: NO! NO WAY! THERE ARE PEOPLE OUT THERE! They will talk to me!!!

Honestly, I've never related to someone this much.

Must Try Fried Chicken Brands In Korea

Kyochon:

The most popular fried chicken brand in Korea. Try their Red Combo to taste the spiciness from Korean red pepper.

Ne Ne Chicken:

Ne Ne Chicken’s must-try is their Snow Wings and Green Onion Chicken. The thin sliced green onion makes the oily chicken more delightful.

BHC: 

BHC’s best menu is Prinkle without a doubt. Prinke is packed with sweetness and savory flavors. The sweetness is coming from the cheese powder and the sweetness from the dipping sauce. 

BBQ: 

BBQ Chicken’s golden Olive fried chicken and their classic Sweet & Sour Sauce chicken gets well-loved by many. Tasty seasoning and the crispiness will satisfy your big fried chicken crave. 

Goobne: 

Goobne is a healthy option since all of their menus are roasted. Locals’ all-time favorite is Galbi chicken and Korean pepper chicken. Locals love having a bowl of rice with galbi chicken.
