True words are not pleasing. Pleasing words are not true.
Lao Tzu - Chinese philosopher, 6th century B.C.
In Korea there is no set order of courses, instead everything is brought to the table simultaneously and everyone eats what they want when they want. In the Okims we keep the western tradition of serving appetizer, soup, entrée and dessert in order. Should you prefer it Korean style, let us know and we will prepare your table.

The small, round mat patties are juicy, savory and coated in egg before frying. Their name can be roughly translated as "circular coin". They are popular choices for traditional holidays and familial celebrations, but also as an appetizer, a snack or as a side to a meal with a delectable dipping sauce.

The Japanese term Edamame roughly translates to 'stem beans’ and refers to the green soy beans picked while still unripe, or rather the dish prepared from them.
Bean pods boiled in salt water are tossed in chili oil and garlic or simply sprinkled with a dash of sea salt. The green beans are squeezed from their pods directly into the mouth, the pod itself however is not edible.
With their slightly nutty flavor and seasoning, they are perfect as a snack or appetizer alongside a cold, sparkling beverage.
Besides the intriguing flavor, this dish is appreciated on behalf of its low calorie count, high quantities of iron and calcium as well as good protein and fibre, not only by vegetarians and vegans.

Supremely tender salmon bedded on wasabi salad
If you fancy raw fish, you will love this dish. Salmon is a great source of protein and omega 3 fatty acids. Yeoneo (연어) is the Korean word for salmon while Jang (장) refers to the marinade made from soy sauce, rice wine, sugar, garlic, ginger, lemon and dasima. Tender salmon served on leek salad with a wasabi dressing, a combination of two components that compliment each other perfectly.

Unlike the normal kimbap roll, this one has the seaweed inside and the rice on the outside. That’s why this appetizer is also called "inside out" or "naked roll". Filled with surimi, cream cheese, yellow radish and egg topped with a savory sauce.
