The best is yet to come, as each mouthwatering dish is accompanied by a variety of everyone’s favorite part of the meal: Korean banchan (side dishes).

General manager Jandy Lee mentions that New Shilawon’s banchan is made in batches daily so that it is fresh every day for customers, including its homemade kimchee.

Don’t forget to order a nice, refreshing complement to your meal with any one of New Shilawon’s unique drinks, which include domestic and imported beer, and house-made soju.
