I went to chunju hanilkwan (i get army stew and potato pancake) and yuchun during this past visit to LA! I feel like I’m not 100% up to date on everything now though hahaha

Come back hehehe

I went to Chunju Hanilkwan and Yu Chun while I was in LA this time!

SO much more expensive 😩😩😩

@@bykchoi Do you have LA recs?

Definitely!

Hahaha glad you agree !

Korean American just means I’m American but of Korean descent! So I’m American by nationality/citizenship :)

@@bykchoi thanks for that. Sorry final question as your reply was really unexpected. I understand if you don't reply (a reply from a KZfaqber is rare so thanks again).... How did your family line cease to be Korean citizens also? The Korean nationality act states that Koreans aquire citizenship automatically at birth: Article 2 (Attainment of Nationality by Birth) (1) A person falling under any of the following subparagraphs shall be a national of the Republic of Korea at birth: 1. A person whose father or mother is a national of the Republic of Korea at the time of the person’s birth; 2. A person whose father was a national of the Republic of Korea at the time of the father’s death, if the person’s father died before the person’s birth; 3. A person who was born in the Republic of Korea, if both of the person’s parents are unknown or have no nationality. (2) An abandoned child found in the Republic of Korea shall be recognized as born in the Republic of Korea.

Hahaha I’m not sure how it all works. My dad was a US citizen when I was born and mom had a green card at the time. I’ve never had a Korean passport/citizenship. What an interesting topic though! :)

@@bykchoi fascinating stuff. depending on your date of birth you might actually technically be a Korean citizen too as the right for children to be Korean was extended to mothers (second paragraph): A child born overseas beginning June 14, 1998, to a father and mother who became naturalized (or never had Korean heritage) before the child’s birth, the child DOES NOT have dual citizenship. If either the father or mother was a Korean national at the time of the child’s birth, the child IS A DUAL CITIZEN and the birth must be registered in Korea.

Ignore that, I realised you are older 😂 It seems at least there is an easier visa path for descendants of Koreans so the link is most definitely still alive! 🎉

I mentioned in the intro that this is a limited list! Please share your recommendations :)

I wouldn’t call them “tourist traps” but definitely some are very hyped up and all are quite overpriced! Definitely want to explore more in Flushing. My favorite spot so far is Arirang for kalguksu :)
