Seoga & Cook is a Korean restaurant that has steadily been gaining recognition for its creative menus, both delicious and at affordable prices. I'd seen branches all over Seoul but only had the chance to dine there recently for my birthday last week. The menus are comprised mostly of Western foods like pizza, steak, pilafs, salads and such; but more important than the foods themselves is the way in which they are served. Seoga & Cook is known for its "Hansang" menus, which literally translated means something like "a full meal on a table." Simply put, it's a set menu served on a tray with all the plates built in, in portions perfect for sharing. In my opinion it's the perfect combination of Western food and Korean culture. We Koreans like to share food from the same plate/pot, instead of ordering individual menus to keep to ourselves. It's how most of our foods are; you'll know if you've tried.
This is the pork hansang, which includes a pork steak, salad, shrimp pilaf, chips, sweet corn, pickles, and an assortment of sauces. All for 29,800 won, which really isn't that bad!

The food is not phenomenal but I had nothing bad to say about it (except that perhaps the steak was a little bit rubbery for my taste). I'd give it about 8.7 stars out of 10. The drinks were also large enough for two people to share, and served in a cute jar. The Hansang menus let you try a little bit of everything, which is best for indecisive people like me who could never be satisfied with just choosing one menu to eat for the entire meal. The restaurant is large and spacious, with an open kitchen. Definitely a recommended restaurant for a casual night out!
