Wonderful that there are still Pyongyang restaurants open.

If you ever find yourself in Vladivostok, Russia, there's still one there.

You should try 平壤海棠花, on Chaoyangmen near the DPRK embassy. It is supposed to be affiliated with the embassy and is frequented by North Korean diplomats (you see them arrive in their dip cars and wearing pins).

😀 Excellent Presentation, Thanks Big!! 😃

There is one close to Dongdaqiao Station as well.

love the NK music background! From Sri Lanka !

Thank you for the food tour, due to rapid visa whiplash; it's always good to know where someone can get some Pyongyang/northern style Korean food abroad.

I tried to find, just wasted my time

Very nice! Food looks great in your video. I've been to two North Korean restaurants in Dandong, China. One of them was the "typical" restaurant that had women performers singing the "Trot-style" Pop Music during the dinner. The other restaurant was a BBQ "cook your own" style. Though that was over six years ago. I found it interesting that one of the restaurants had their kim chee rolled up into a "wad". Each person gets their own wad and peels off the kim chee and eat. Never seen it served like that before. I thought the food and entertainment on my experience were great... but I've never been to the DPRK so I have no reference to compare with. These restaurants seemed popular and did have a lot of local Chinese customers.

It was! I’m sure if I ate BBQ at the BBQ restaurant it would’ve been better. And a shame the first one wasn’t open. Also wish I’d have gone at dinner time to catch a waitress show..! Nevermind.

3:00 The song is called Are We Living Like in Those Days? by Pochonbo Electronic Ensemble. It's catchy.

@@ZoeDiscovers What's your favourite musical artist/group from North Korea?

There are nearly ten North Korean state-run restaurants in China

There's one I just visited last week called 母米粥 in Beijing as well! It's not advertised as north korean run, but all of the waitresses are north korean and extremely nice. Would love to know your thoughts if you decide to go :)

Hehe no worries. It is a bit odd at first..! I actually have a recent podcast episoe where I go over all of this if you're interested - the podcast is calle Discover North Korea and it should be episode 2! You can find it here in the podcast playlist or whereever you get your podcasts! I go into detail on my story from a few years ago up to now :)

Heading to Beijing in the new year. Been wanting to try the North Korean restaurants there. Where were the two that were open? My understanding was that the main ones are in Chaoyang District?

After seeing you eating so much, I now understand why you run so long distances 😂
