Restaurant Review!
Cabin Oak l Hongik l Seoul
In Seoul, pubs are often called Hofs. I have a theory that it’s named after a good old German Hoffbrau. I love hoffbraus and I love pubs so that makes it a pretty good combination. The common food at these places is fried chicken and beer. Cabin Oak, which is located in the fashionable university district of Hongik, serves barbequed chicken for a change of pace.
The chicken is cut into pieces and then smothered in a sweet, spicy sauce with rice cakes, macaroni, and squid. It’s not your typical sauce as it has raisins and has the more complex sweetness you might get out of something like baked beans. The heat though, was all Korean. It was good though because nothing gets you drinking beer like heat.
Hongik itself is a really interesting neighborhood with a real university feel and lots of bars with live musical acts. The one thing I do know is that whenever I go back, I’ll be sure to hit Cabin Oak.
