Parking On Weekdays/Weekends: Easy, though you may be better off parking your vehicle yourself, because the valet service moves at ITDC speed. Beware: The Ashok’s air-conditioning unit tends to pack up, especially when there’s a VVIP at the Convention Hall. It's the only Korean restaurant in the city, run by a Korean lady who's the wife of a research scholar, and judging by the widespread support it gets from the expat Korean community, there's no doubt that the food is authentic. Ask Mi Ran Lee, the proprietress, to help you get around the Chapchaes (potato noodles with stew), Mandus (momos) and Hae Mul Pa-Jeongs (pancakes with fillings), because for the first-timer, anything other than kimchi, is horribly confusing. Many of the dishes come with free accompaniments. The menu encompasses palatable choices for the beginner as well as for the adventurous.
