Hantiok is a Korean restaurant in Anyang, Gyeonggi, serving Andong gukbap and Andong guksu in the Lotte Department Store Pyeongchon Branch food court. We ordered the Andong guksu set for 22,000 won and the Andong gukbap set for 21,000 won, with bossam, spicy pork, and dumplings. Verdict: a neat, filling stop while shopping, especially for the gukbap.
Yard is a two-story brunch café near Bomun Tourist Complex in Gyeongju, Gyeongbuk, with a seasonal flower field. I walked among blooming yellow cosmos and tried the guacamole open rye baguette and mushroom soup. Verdict: Yard makes a lovely Gyeongju brunch stop with flowers on the side.
Dongyang Baekban Gyeongju Hwangridan-gil Main Branch is a Korean restaurant in Hwangridan-gil, Gyeongju. My husband and I had tomato cheese dakbokkeumtang, egg rice, and pollack roe rice, and the boneless chicken stew's distinctive broth was especially memorable. Verdict: a great pick for quiet, room-style dining and inventive Korean food.
