Sariwon is best known for its beef bulgogi. But more than their bulgogi, Sariwon is also home to many traditional Korean dishes.

3. La Famiglia Little Italy

    nice list, but just one point of criticism, the pictures are really noisy, looks like they were taken with a camera phone, and since the photos take up a lot more space than the small writeup, it makes the whole article look amateurish.
