If you want North Korean food, but not run by the North Korean government with the weird slavery shit, there's numerous Korean restaurants north of North Korea in Yanbian, Jilin/Changchun, etc. Just regular restaurants, mostly run by Chinese that are ethnically Korean.
- xeonmc 2y agoPerhaps a better term to differentiate it from regime-run ones -- "Ethically North Korean Restaurants"?
- ido 2y agoAre North and South Korea ethnically distinct?
- bikingbismuth 2y agoProbably not in any meaningful way, but I would agree the above comment they are ethically distinct.
- kadoban 2y agoYes. Why would they not be?
- throwaway290 2y agoEasier to just go to any of them in an actual Korea in Seoul.

- dmoy 2y agoMaybe? I dunno There's iirc <100k North Korean in South Korea, and >>100k in China, mostly Jilin province
- throwaway290 2y agoMore concentrated especially if they are mostly in Seoul
- dmoy 2y agoOutside of Yanbian maybe yea. There's like 600,000 Korean in Yanbian alone, a huge chunk of which are North Korean.
- throwaway290 2y agoThere are other reasons to avoid like https://x.com/Sino_Market/status/1810508441234067465 https://x.com/Sino_Market/status/1810508441234067465 / https://www.scmp.com/news/china/politics/article/3269808/china-launches-high-level-probe-after-paper-says-fuel-tankers-used-carry-cooking-oil https://www.scmp.com/news/china/politics/article/3269808/chi...
