Seoul Garden is my favorite restaurant in K-town. There are restaurants of equal quality but at higher prices. For around $18 per person, the 6 of us shared 6 dishes plus plenty of pan-chan (traditional Korean side dishes usually given as complimentary). The doenjang jigae (a tofu soup with vegetables), the BBQ squid, the Galbi (cooked tabletop), the marinated chicken (cooked table top), the duk boki (rice cakes in a sweet and spicy red pepper sauce), and the seafood bibimbop (a rice dish in a stone pot) were all tasty. The bibimbop was a little bit wetter (sorry if that's not a word) than it should be but everything else was great.

We were all stuffed but decided it was fair to have dessert if we walked there. We headed down to Cafe Brama, a place Lon and I had gone to before with another group of friends. This time, there was a live band playing. We had a crepe with fruit and vanilla ice cream (which I loved last time) but the crepe wasn't as tender this time and there was way too much sauce this time which made it too sweet. Still good but not awesome.I also remembered them having one of the best capuccino's in town and by leaps and bounds, the best smoothies. 4 people had smoothies: strawberry, strawberry banana, pineapple, and blueberry. Everyone raved while exchanging glasses to try different flavors. To me, the blueberry was the winner and I'm thinking about walking over tonight to get another one. Seriously, you'll laugh at the idea that you ever drank Jamba Juice. ...and the cappuccino's still great too!

It's really hard to find a cafe with really good products these days. With the super hospitable service, I can't figure out why they're not always packed. I'm planning on trying them for brunch too.
