Seoul Jib is a Korean baekban house at 270 St Asaph Street in the Christchurch CBD. A baekban is a full Korean meal set out at once: a bowl of rice at the centre, a soup beside it and a spread of side dishes. Every baekban comes with rice, soup of the day and seven banchan, and each person orders their own.
The menu includes dubu baekban, a tofu and vegetable dish in sweet soy, and a chicken broth baekban with hand-torn chicken, along with dak kalguksu noodles, seafood tteokbokki, yukjeon, and a seafood rice dish with raw prawns and flying fish roe. Fried chicken comes in four sauces. Today's banchan is chosen by the kitchen and changes daily, and the site says prices include GST and may change. Bookings can be made by phone or text. The dining room is styled on a Seoul backstreet, with shutters, hand-painted signboards and string lights.
