Im planning on going out to eat at a Korean or Japanese restaurant next weekend

I dont know what to order in a Korean restaurant? Ive only eaten it one time, it was a Korean barbecue, when they bring this hot metal thing to your table and you cook your own meats, any other suggestions?

when I go to Japanese restuarants I like to eat the bento box combination

what would you order?

JAPANESE~! I order all sorts of things, ahh. *droools*

I haven't been to either one. Haha

I haven't been to korean restaurants, but the japanese restaurant I went to was very good. I order shrimp bombs.


-- Thao

i never been to a japanese restaurant before ..
but i went to a korean one with my cousin :] they had a lot of little side dishes & we ordered some beef thing.
it was yummm .. though the chopsticks annoyed me -__-;; i couldnt use it properly!
it was metal and pretty flat compared to the normal asian ones..
i was so unko -___-;;

Japanese restaurant...teishoku is always good

Both are nice, but I like Japanese restaurants a tad bit more~

japanese restaurant! they have much more delish foooood.

well, honestly i prefer both... korean food are so yummy just like the japanese foods... although japanese restaurants are mostly seen than korean restaurants...

i think i know what you're korean dish you're talking about

it's called samgyapsal(sp?). usually you wrap it with a lettuce leaf and then put either oil, or the hot sauce

i love both, but i prefer korean food.
many dish u can taste..
i lik ebibimbap, kimbap, tokpogi, galbintang, kimchi cigae, guksu, campong, n many other dishes

It's difficult finding a dish to eat at a Korean restaurant if you're a vegetarian.
If not, then why not?

Personally, I prefer Japanese restaurants because of the ambience (in most cases)
and I find the food more aesthetically pleasing, not to mention the taste.

I mean, Korean food is good and all but I feel sometimes, it's too heavily marinated
with sauce and everything starts tasting the same after a while. Korean food is too
spicy and red =X

I like korean style chinese food, like jajjangmyun and tangsuyuk @_@ my two favorites =D~

korean restauraunts are good to eat with a lot of close friends ^^ you all share and have a lot of socializing going on...
japanese food is too little and not as friendly? does that make sense? @_@;;

KOREAN! Just order anything as long as it comes with GOOD TASTE UNLIMITED SIDE DISHES!
I want!! I WANT!

Both are good, though at Korean restaurants people have difficulty choosing out a meal that'll fit their tastes because the first thing that pops into non-Koreans minds are BBQ and kimchi. So, they usually only order that.

I think Japanese cuisines fit the American taste bud better.
Unless you have a Korean friend that can introduce you to other fine Korean dishes.

T_T I wouldn't be able to decide!

both sounds good. I usually go to Japanese, and been to Korean bbq once, so I'd personally like to try more authentic Korean food.

My friends love japanese food so we tend to go to japanese restaurants more, but I prefer korean food since I can't eat any meat that's raw... I did swallow a raw oyster in one of the kimchi dishes once accidently though, and I almost threw up afterwards since it was slimy and squishy when it was moving on my tongue..

Sorry! But Iam more of a japanese!

I really love eating those raw foods. They are really delicious!!!

japanese - at most places u can order korean bbq there too
at korean restaurant there aint much variety imo

thats a hard decision, i love both types.
i would get:
korean restaurants- beef tongue(really good!), the regular beef ribs, orchapchae (vegetable noodles)
japanese restaurants- sushi!!!lol, salmon teriyaki, or zarusoba.

i guess for me it depends on what i'm in the mood for.
ooh topped a page.
mmmnow im hungry..lol

kimchi chigae = good

i like korean style chinese restaurants too. ja jang mien = good

korean restraunts
are the best

when you go there,
order the bulgogi
(:

JAPANESE please hehe

order yaki udon!! =D itx the best

Japanese restaurants! I love most of what I eat there!

For Korean restaurants, I only mostly order kamjatang(sp?).

If I had a choice, definetely Japanese. I love the food much more than korean food

i havent been to a korean restaurant
so i guess japanese...

I agree, japanese food is a lot more mild than korean food. I was watching an episode of anthony bourdain (s/p) when he was in new jersey, and he want to a korean restaurant and the way he explained the difference was that korean food is like japanese food with balls, lol

anywho, it really depends on what your craving. I would say wait until the day you want to go out. If you feel like eating more mildly flavored (but still delicious) food, then go to a japanese place, if you're craving something with more of a punch, then go to a korean place. Just ask the waiter for help on what to choose, they are really happy to help you pick something suited to your tastes.

On a personal level, I say go for the korean restaurant! I love the flavors in the food (both strong and mild), japanese food usually leaves me wanting something more, lol

Both~ Japanese food is like very seafoody..
then Korean food is very warm (:

i think it's easier to find good korean restaurants than good japanese restaurants. not really just because i live near a lot of korean restaurants, but because that's just the way it is. it's easy to get mediocre sushi or ramen or whatever... but korean food is pretty consistently good, even if you're going to some hole-in-the-wall restaurant. i label a japanese restaurant as "good" if at the end of the meal i'm not wishing i had gone for korean food instead. but usually with japanese or chinese or thai food, i'm thinking that i wish there was kimchi. but on the japanese side... i love very, very fresh sushi.

I haven't been to either of the two.But my cousin keeps saying that japanese foods are quite yummy...I've tasted korean foods, I loved it!^^,yeeah yeah!!I keep seeing new korean restaurants around!Oh my I have not been to any of them yet! Oh by the way I've tasted a japanese food..sushi!People say it's a weird taste..NoO..it's so yummy!Now I'm craving for it!

I've only been to a Japanese restaurant [[which I went to for the first time on the 19th]], so i'll say that. But i wouldn't mind going to a Korean restaurant one day.

((When I went to the Japanese restaurant they were playing all Korean music though which I thought was odd but cool haha. I recocnized all the songs which made me happy though [and got me weird looks from my friends who think it's weird i like music not in english when i said "homg i know this song! xD" after every song came on haha]))

Japanese restaurant! I like both, but I love japanese food! YUMMM =)

hmmm thats a hard decsion but id have to go with korean food and id order dokpoki and bulgolgi!! YUMMY!!!!!!!

i dun think i know japanese food. when it comes to the two countries' food, i eat korean food more...watching dramas also help...LOL...you really wanna try like all kinds of food the koreans eat...and just recently i got addicted to tteo-bokki [i dunno how to call it in english]. before i couldn't stand chinese noodles and tteo-bokki, but now things have majorly changed...LOL...

still dun like kimchi soup thou'...><

I like restaurants that have half the store for Korean & the other half for Japanese.

Korean food love <33 I tend to like salty foods more. As much as I like Japanese foods, they do tend to have a more plain style, which is good for some foods <3

i've never been to a korean restaurant, but when I go to japanese restaurants, i like to order oyakodon which is rice with chicken and egg and other stuff. but i like mild and sweet foods.

japanese restaurants i find are more formal settings whereas korean restaurants are more cosy and warm and loud
it is very hard to find a Good Japanese restaurant as to have good japanese food u need fresh ingrediants and fast skillful chefs who don't handle raw meat too long just to make it look good
korean food i find is all premade so there is no worries in having raw meat being handled with by the chef for 15+ minutes
overall i prefer japanese restaurant more but in a country where its hard to find good chefs I'd stick with korean food

japanese. korean restaurants make you smell bad afterwards. not a good place for dates.

japanese restaurants.
It's because I have been in those restaurants all of my life.

And I'm really bad with spicy and extreme sweet food so korean food isn't my taste.

i like this one japanese restuarant thats owned by koreans

Japanese food is good, but it isn't exactly...satisfying? I don't know. It tastes good, but it doesn't feel like a full meal--more like a snack or light lunch.

Korean is much better for dinner because its so warm and inviting. Believe it or not, most Koreans don't eat stuff like kalbi and dukpoki every day--a usual meal consists of rice and small side dishes with some kind of light soup. And I don't know what you think, but in my opinion Korean food is much lighter than most American foods. In fact, that's the main reason we have trouble adapting to western diets.

i order jjajangmyun hehe or gamjatang lol
but yea wen i go to restarants we usually order the same thing where we hav to cook the meat ourself and stuff yea
ive never been to japanese restaurant before but i think id rather go to a japanese restaurant than a korean one
the service sucks they r all so rude! - well the restaurants i go to lol

Tough choice, I like them both... I guess I'll say Japanese.

i have no preference between this 2, cuz i LOVE BOTH!

Korean food~ It's probably just because I eat Japanese food a lot so I've gotten sick of it. And I love how a lot of Korean dishes are spicy.

JAPANESE food es muy delicioso!

Japanese food is good ^-^; Korean food is okay... I don't like that many foods other than yakiniku.

I like japanese more because I love fish!
Sushi, salmon teriyaki <3
And I love the bento box presentations ^^
