Martin D. Ciao: Got Target'd at IKEA? Where you started shopping for things you don't need but felt compelled to buy them? IKEA made returning easy. To start the process just get a number and wait for a minute or 30!
Martin D. Ciao: The breads here are as diverse as the PB in Korea! It even has the Sugared Glutenous Ball which is gluten free! Love their Coffee Bread! Don't forget to ask for their Happy Point card, use 4 discounts
Martin D. Ciao: What is not to love about In-N-Out? You can get a Double-Double, Cheeseburger, French Fries, and soft drink for under $10 (after tax)! So much more satisfying than getting a sandwich.
Martin D. Ciao: Great food court option at Incheon Airport. Whether you are here waiting for friends to arrive, seeing family off on a trip, or just bored, K Street Food offers great varieties of food options.
Martin D. Ciao: While Kang Kang Sulle is a franchise, it is the best as their meat is top notch Korean beef. KBBQ might be expensive for everyday dining experience. However, they have other tasty individual options!
Martin D. Ciao: Cafe Lien's is located right outside Lotte Department Store. Great place to people watch while enjoying good cup of coffee, especially when it is cooler at night.
Martin D. Ciao: ATMs on 1st floor and banking services on 2nd. You can exchange foreign currency here even without an account. Just make sure you have your passport and in 20mins for paperwork. Ms Jeong very helpful!
Martin D. Ciao: Surprisingly good Korean-Chinese food! Their jjambbong was spicy and tasty. It'll leave a lasting delicious taste in your mouth after you take a sip of that soup. Great service too! Located top floor!
Martin D. Ciao: More and more restaurants opening! Definitely a huge plus for the residents of Irvine. I recommend Tang190 for their beef ribs soup and Caffe Bene for coffee!
Martin D. Ciao: Similar to its American counterpart, TGIF has burger, pasta, ribs, and drinks, but at a premium price. Perfect place to impress your date on the first day.
Martin D. Ciao: Other than the normal setups of supermarket items, this huge Emart has everything, including abundance of food court choices, Gongcha, Uniqlo, and many other fashion brands. Why go to chaotic Lotte?
Martin D. Ciao: This is the most fancy Chinese Chinese restaurant in Seoul. The food was perfectly balanced between Chinese traditional dishes and Korean tastes. Beijing duck was good but my favorite was appetizers.
Martin D. Ciao: Right inside Bonjour, the patron for the cafe can also enjoy the plentiful seats and beautiful scenery. The coffee was strong and the ice cream was delicious, but the costs are double than in Seoul.
Martin D. Ciao: Look at those pictures! The restaurant is cozy but it serves great and satisfying dishes! Eat in and they'll give you bunch of "service " dishes, including rice at the end for you to mix in your stew!
Martin D. Ciao: Very interesting, but well appreciated, location for an "ecological" park, on top of the roof! Accessible from 6th floor of Lotte Department Stores, the park has live animals and shades with seats.
Martin D. Ciao: School Food offers unique takes on Korean food. They position themselves like kpop, taking on familiar dishes with Korean flairs. The quality is okay if you don't mind the fusion styled cuisines.
Martin D. Ciao: Located at the 9th floor of Lotte Department Store, the cafe serves coffee, limited cakes, and shaved ice. Plenty of seating makes this place a great place to hang out with friends after long walks!
Martin D. Ciao: This is Paris Baguette Cafe, which is a tiny bit smaller than the regular bakery. The air condition here is strong, great news for hot summer day. However, only 14 seats available, so come early!
Martin D. Ciao: If you like panchan, the Korean side dishes, this place is for you! For only ₩9,000 per person, you get almost 20 side dishes, with free refill! They also provide jeyookbokkum (spicy bulgogi) & soups!
Martin D. Ciao: I really like this Trader Joe's because of its convenience. Also, the staff are all so helpful and willing. Love the alcohol section, it has my favorite beer, Hoegaarden!
