Snapshots from South Korea: Vegetarian Temple Food at Sanchon
I ate at Sanchon regularly when I lived in Seoul and worked in Insadong. The food really is amazing there.
Now I am back in NYC and back to eating at Hangawi once again. Yes, the cuisine they serve there is as close as you can get stateside. It is temple food, although it has a full menu and you have the option of ordering a la carte or a more set menu like at Sanchon. The set menus are not quite the temple food (I believe they use onions and garlic), although many similar dishes could be selected. It even has a transporting experience, complete with being seated on the floor.
It isn't quite the same, though. Without having to step from rock to rock over water, and without being forced to order the set Buddhist menu, it couldn't be. However, short of a 14 hour flight, it is as close as I get to going back.

Is it possible that the tap water could be a source of the shellfish reading? I know here in NYC there are miniscule crustacians that cause some strict Kosher families to avoid drinking it.
