Wood Nymph: Satisfaction Guaranteed!

Having moonlighted as an English tutor for Koreans for a couple of years, you could say that I’m pretty well versed in all foods Korean.  The most authentic you can get it would be when you eat at a student’s house.  When you stay at the academy for long hours, the lunch spread and the dinner spread is surely going to be Korean food, too.  Eating out, the most popular place for my students and their families is Wood Nymph.  Twelve years ago, it was just the establishment over at Military Cut Off.  A few years after, Wood Nymph, the Luneta Hill branch opened.
