Nolboo Myoungga is a restaurant near Central City specializing in Chosun Dynasty cuisine. Embarrassingly, I don't really know what that means except that the meal you'll find here provides a bewildering array of ban chan surrounding a central dish. In this case, it's bulgogi. If you visit the restaurant's web site and click around the Flash navigation menu you'll see its location, different meal types, and the live entertainment.
If you observe closely you'll see that there are actually 2 sets of ban chan, one for each half of the table. The serving of bulgogi seems small for a party of four but by the time you pick through all the ban chan you really can't eat much more.
Diners sit on the floor of raised platforms. Wear your good socks because your shoes will be left far behind. You sit on floor cushions with no table in front of you. Your entire meal is arranged on a table in the kitchen and then brought out by the staff and set before you.
This is a close-up of gae ran chim, kind of like a savory egg custard.
