Korean Food in Kiev, Ukraine

Come join us in Kiev, Ukraine for a delicious Korean feast as we visit Arirang Restaurant (아리랑). Having not had Korean food in nearly half a year, we were craving some of our favorite Korean dishes, and we were absolutely over the moon excited when we found out Kiev, Ukraine had a number of places to choose from. After doing a bit of research we decided upon Arirang which was just a few metro stops away from where we were staying in Kiev. All in all we ordered the following dishes: 1) Kimchi-Bokkeum-Bap (김치볶음밥) Korean kimchi fried rice 2) Sundubu-jjigae (순두부찌개) Korean tofu soup 3) Pajeon (파전) Korean pancakes with scallions and seafood The food was quite authentic for the most part and the coolest thing was that we got a generous amount of Banchan (반찬 - 飯饌) including some of our favorites like Kimchi (김치). Overall, we'd highly recommend Arirang for anyone with a craving for Korean cuisine in the Ukraine.

We haven't had Korean food in ages. Ages! Ages! We were actually racking our brains and thinking like when was the last time and we believe it was in Pokhara, Nepal. Which is months ago. Months ago. That is half a year ago. So when we came to Kiev (Kyiv - Київ - Киев) and we're kind of here for a little while. Yeah. We actually researched online to see if there was any Korean restaurants. We've been craving it for ages. Uh huh. And we found one. There is actually one that is quite highly rated. It is Arirang (아리랑). Orders have been placed and I don't think they're going to be very many surprises. We have our favorites. We tend to order the same things over and over again. But we do get six free little dishes. Side dishes. Banchan (반찬 - 飯饌). So excited. And one thing I did order a little bit different that I normally tend to get Dolsot Bibimbap if I haven't had it for a while but I ended up getting Kimchi-Bokkeum-Bap (김치볶음밥) which is the kimchi fried rice. And yeah, we ordered mandu as well. No! We got the pajeon (파전) instead. Oh right. We got pajeon (파전). And I got sundubu jjigae which is what I always get. I just love my tofu stew. And you know it is like August here. It is getting a little bit chilly in Kiev (Kyiv - Київ - Киев) so yeah. Oh, that was so much food. So so much food. Yeah, we did a pretty good job I think finishing the mains. We polished off the mains. We put a really good kind of struggled with the side dishes. We put a good dent in the side dishes. Yeah, we didn't finish them though. But yeah, we are done. Defeated. Time it is time to ring the ding dong. Ding the ding da dong. Well, well. What a beautiful way to end the meal. They brought complimentary watermelon which I think might supak in Korean. Correct me if I'm wrong. Isn't that pumpkin? No, hopak is pumpkin. Oh, okay. A lot of paks in there. Yeah, anyways, it came to 491 which was $19 USD and I thought that was great value because we got three main dishes, we got tonnes of banchan (반찬 - 飯饌). Tonnes of side dishes. We forgot to show you, I had Georgian red wine and we also got a big thing of tea to share. So yeah, that is pretty good. I mean we're talking about like nine something a person to have a really nice authentic Korean meal here in the Ukraine. Yeah, that was awesome. I would come back here again for sure. Highly recommend this place. The name is Arirang ((아리랑)). Arirang tata. Tata. Bye.
