Mokpan

"Mokpan," an Asian cafe, takes its name from a popular video blog genre that originated in Korea, featuring people eating food on camera.

A new project from the creators of the "Uryuk" restaurants has opened at Sushchevsky Val, 18: "Mokpan" (named after the popular Korean video blog genre featuring people eating food on camera). The philosophy of the "Mokpan" cafe is to create a space where people can enjoy food and connect with each other. There is no room for loneliness or isolation here; everyone will find only friendliness and hospitality. The "Mokpan" menu features dishes from Asian cuisine, prepared with a unique twist.
