Yokosuka Food Corner - Blue Street and Beyond: Kun San Seoul Korean - YFC Historical Archive

Kun San Seoul is now closed. Below info is kept for history.

Kun San Seoul is a new opening up on the 9th floor of More's city next to Yokosuka Chuo station. The last place located here, an attempt at Hawaiian, didn't last too long and hopefully this restaurant will last longer. The name is Kun San Seoul, which by the Kanji means "gold mountain." As your coming off the escalator at the 9th floor it will be right in front of you.

We went during lunch on the weekend and it was not busy. They have a number of set menu options, most of which include are the Korean "Bibimbap" rice dish in a hot stone pot. The menu, which has English and Japanese, calls this "baked rice." Bibim means mixing and the bap means rice. This will arrive in a very hot stone bowl in which you'll hear the rice sizzling and crisping up nicely. You will mix it up after it arrives at the table to cook that egg yolk you see along with the other ingredients on top of the rice.

The set lunches include a small salad, a little kimchee cucumbers, soup, and the drink bar. The drink bar was quite well stocked and that's where you found the soup as well which happened to be egg drop soup today. Drink bar included pear juice, cold corn tea, iced coffee, and yuzu lemonade for the cold options. It also included the hot teas: corn tea, yuzu tea, and chinese tea. Yuzu is a very aromatic Asian citrus fruit that you'll see in all kinds of food in Japan but I was surprised to see it used in two drinks at the drink bar. The yuzu lemonade was very good. When I discuss plum wine - or umeshu - in another post I'll share some more about yuzu umeshu which is one of my favorite drinks in Japan.

For kids there is a fried chicken side dish, gyoza, and french fries. The french fries are coated with dried salted seaweed and were served hot and slightly crispy. The deep fried chicken looked very good (see picture) and tasted good too. It was served with sauce and dried seaweed on the side.

They'll give you a point card when you leave good toward some discounts after a few lunches.

Some day we'll go back for dinner and try some more dishes, but in my opinion lunch was good and we'll be back again.
