Oh Mok Theh
These days, the artsy Insadong area is bustling with newly renovated and newly built buildings. Among them is the cool new shopping center called SSamzie Space. At the top of this funky complex, there’s a colorful and serene Korean restaurant with glass walls. From the restaurant, you get scenic city and mountain views. This place doesn’t have an English name and can be recognized by the Korean sign at the top. The Korean Name is Oh Mok Theh.
Usually tourist areas serve second rate tourist food, but Oh Mok Theh has really tasty delicious food with prices just slightly higher than a typical Korean restaurant. This restaurant is famous for stone pot dishes like Bi Bim Bap. Since it was hot out, I had a refreshing bowl of Mool Naengmyun which is a cold noodle dish in Beef broth. It was full of flavor and actually had a spicy kick to it. That was perfectly balanced out by the nutty flavor of sesame seeds. After all the shopping and sightseeing has been done, Oh Mok Theh is the perfect place to chill out and have a meal and beer. $$ (Ssamzie Space, 4/F, 38, Gwanhun Dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul)
