There's a great restaurant in Bristol, England which does North Korean cuisine, and you can eat there without supporting the DPRK regime since it's run by a lovely British-Korean family who came from Pyongyang 1-2 generations ago. Some good ass cold noodles

Have you tried North Korean food? No? Neither have the citizens

Theres one in Bangladesh. In the google location, the restaurant rated themselves 5 stars and wrote a big review essay praising Kim Jong Un on unrelated stuff

I just passed this restaurant the other day in Thailand

[bdbgh]

The one in Malaysia closed down after the North Korean assassination thing in our airport happened in 2017, apparently people were scared to go to the restaurant and business tanked.

I love the chain, I spread my joy to the world through this chain

Waitress: Here is your bill.
Me: I’ll pay by card
North Korea: *visibly distressed*

I ate at the North Korean restaurant in Phnom Penh, Cambodia - I can confirm the creepy dancing & songs, all of which were about how awesome NK & Kim are. I can also verify the prison vibe, especially since there are no windows in the building & the restaurant had bouncers for keeping the staff in. You weren't allowed to take photos of the performance, and there was a bookcase next to the entrance that had multiple copies of the same three books - all biographies of the 3 Kims...

So he feeds other countries but not his own people?

Geopolitics is wild. I've actually had some more North Korea-specific Korean dishes before, thanks to my grandpa. He's old enough to have grown up in "Korea" neither north nor south, and defected to South once the split happened. My mom's still trying to draw his life story out of him page by page, but he very rarely likes talking about it. I can definitely understand why— from contracting malaria and having no way to get medication to using his R&R time and stipend to try to track down his conscripted brother, he's definitely earned his late-life peace.

I love how this restaurant, which is supposed to make North Korea look good, really is just a perfect example of the country itself, trying to look nice and great but on the inside people are oppressed and enslaved like the waiters.

I love to see Gordon Ramsay come to North Korea.

I’m waiting for Washington DC restaurants to be opened in North Korea now.

[ERIK]

-"Worldwide"

-"Throughout Asia"

...?

"They can't just print more (Korean) Yuan" no they actually just skip a step and print counterfeit $US.

Nando’s is South African owned, but it serves Portuguese food. Yeah, figure that one out

[jonathanmacqueen]

That photo is from the restaurant in Phnom Penh Cambodia and me and my school once got invited to play Christian worship music there. Fair to say one of the most amazing and bizarre experiences of my life!

“13 waitresses escaped the location” is the funniest thing ive heard all day ngl.
