Dae Jang Geum
Named after one of the most popular Korean soap operas to air on Taiwanese television, Dae Jang Geum, which opened in 2004, is an unpretentious, simply decorated establishment that offers a wide choice of Korean dishes. You'll find barbecued pork, beef, chicken, fish, and mushroom items (priced from NT$300 to NT$350); special sets for four people (NT$990 or NT$1200) and two people (NT$600 or NT$680); plus various cheaper dishes for individuals, such as baked rice with or without cheese (from NT$150). Soups start at NT$90. The service is friendly; as the waitstaff place a long-handled spoon, a pair of flat metal chopsticks, a bowl of soup, and small portions of pickles to your table, they'll remind you that you are very welcome to help yourself to more pickles if you wish. Soft drinks are NT$20 each; a large bottle of beer costs NT$100, while a bottle of Korean liquor will set you back NT$220. Menus are in Chinese and Korean; the restaurant is located near the intersection of LinSen and DongNing roads.
