Korea is a hot food destination these days for food lovers not only for fine dining but for all the variety of street food that is so popular with locals and visitors alike. Specialty one dish restaurants serving Samgyetang (whole baby chicken stuffed with ginseng and glutinous rice simmered slowly for hours) and Mandu (Korean style dumplings served with kimchi) abound.
