There are a few. Gyoza, for example. Korean meals aren't
organized like Western meals. You need to expand
your provincial outlook.

Sad, if you can't get through a meal without alcohol.
As George pointed out, desserts are not an Asian concept. Stupid
round-eyes.

I think the soups are meal-sized portions. Maybe Mags will
have more intel on this after she goes.
That said, the prices seem a wee bit high, but most of the Korean
restaurants around here are small Mom & Pop places.
If I were going there, it would be Spicy Pork for me. If I didn't
feeli like spicy food, I'd get bulgogi.
For me, though, it's all about the banchan. A good set of
banchan makes or breaks the meal for me.
