Gracias, Brazilian Tragedy
I’ve been lucky to hit up a lot of good restaurants doing reviews for this site. Sadly, to quote Q, all good things must come to an end. I have seen the dark side and I hope to save all of you from it. A while back I had heard there was a Brazilian steakhouse in Ulsan. Wonder of wonders! Brazilian steakhouses are magical places and the idea that I could go to one here, well, I was...
Read MoreGrappa Pizzeria and Pub – Now in Dong-gu!
By Todd L. Greene Taking its name from the strong, white-graped digestivo (liqueur), Grappa has just opened facing the seaside, separated only by a small garden plot from KG Western Pub. From my conversation with Viviana, they had a previous location in Samsan-dong. Upon entering, one first notices a large poster in the back of the restaurant bearing both the name and a picture of Julia Roberts enjoying a slice of pizza. Then, the chalkboard menu catches your eye...
Read MoreYoungsang Cafe and Gallery
There’s a neat little place in Namgu, that might be of interest to anyone who is in to art, photography or especially cameras. The place is called Youngsang Cafe (영상카페). It’s been around since 2006 and has seen many alterations to its décor and menu, but there are some constants which make this place absolutely worth visiting. First, Youngsang offers a nice quiet place in which to enjoy a cup of tea and read a book or maybe do...
Read MoreSpero Spera Crepes
Joining the ever-swelling ranks of brunch-type restaurants in Ulsan is Spero Spera. Serving both sweet and savoury crepes, Spero Sparo is a good place to go to grab a light lunch or an after-dinner treat. The entrance is right next to the Frypan, leaving room only for a tiny kitchen for the crepe makers. Upstairs, however, is a large seating area, with windows overlooking the street, and both air-conditioning and open-air seating. The menu includes a small selection of...
Read MoreToolbox 2nd – Amazing burgers in Shinae
A few years ago now, a great little restaurant opened it’s doors in Ggotbawi, way out in Dong-gu between the HHI and Mipo shipyards. They were rumoured to have awesome hamburgers, but I was never able to catch that place open. I was delighted to hear they’d opened a second location in Seongnamdong (Shinae/Old Downtown) recently, as it’s much closer to home for me. Located right next to the JJ’s Bar alleyway, Toolbox 2 offers a selection of 9...
Read More!Pop Factory!
This week I was fortunate enough to discover Pop Factory, a relatively new, hip Italian restaurant. After our fist visit, my friend Aaron and I think it needs to be shared with the waygooks of Ulsan and visitors alike. It is located in Namgu Jeong, at the south end of the park (울산문화예술회관) behind the Ulsan Art and Cultural Center (and KBS building). It offers a traditional menu of pizza, pasta, wine, coffee, beer, and soda. It was recommended...
Read More면공장 The Noodle Factory
In the first weeks of my arrival in Ulsan I stumbled on to what has become one of my favorite restaurants for lunch: 면공장 The Noodle Factory. The Noodle Factory is a small restaurant on the busy street behind the Hyundai Department Store in Samsan-dong.면공장is owned and operated by Mr. Kim who also owns a second restaurant in the area. Though Mr. Kim doesn’t speak any English, his business partner Mr. Kang does. Mr. Kang is a familiar face...
Read MoreFinally, good Thai – Sarojin
I’ve always wanted a good Thai restaurant in Ulsan. Or in Korea, frankly. There are decent ones in Seoul and Busan, but the Ulsan offerings so far have been limited to Noodle Box and Pattaya, neither of which is any good. So praise his majesty Bhumibol Adulyadej that we have been delivered. You may have already noticed this place, as it happens to be just a few doors down the street from JJ’s. Not only does Sarojin offer the...
Read MoreGoh-bong Min Kimbap: The Best Kimbap in Ulsan
Let’s face it many people don’t touch kimbap unless they offered it by a kind co-worker or it is the only thing available at the time. For most foreigners, it is more of a snack than a meal. However, I have found a place that will knock your socks off! Still may be just a snack but a damn good one at that. Kimbap places are everywhere and let’s face it, they are pretty hard to tell apart. They...
