I really enjoy going to restraurants that server Korean food, but there aren’t any restaurant
like that in my local area. That restaurant is away from my house. The main colors of the
restaurant will be wood, yellow and white. It is decorated with meticulousity crafted Korean
meterials and craft along with a spacious and comfortable space. On the menu, there will be
dishes like kimbap, bulgogi and kimchi fried rice. My favourite food is a Korean mixed rice
dish called kimbap. And the staff is very friendly because they always smile and help
customers when they need service.
