Korean Gold
A friend who went to the World Cup in South Korea told me that the Koreans are rather like the Irish – they can’t play football, they like good fun and they drink too much. This may explain why Han Yang is the most exuberant restaurant on Parnell Street. Long and narrow, it has the smiliest staff on the planet, picture menus and plastic dinners in the window. Cheap! Go with a gang, and sit at one of the round barbecue tables. The gas cooker in the centre is where you grill your own platters of thinly sliced meats. Or order from the kitchen: we liked the ojingeo muchim, fried squid in a spicy noodle salad. They serve fine beers with funny names and rice wine at ridiculously competitive prices. Particularly recommended for birthdays.
