Such a swanky and glossy mall, the IFC boasts several delicious eateries. As you leave the Metro, you can take lazy-day walkways and sail past cafes and shops on the way to the IFC. Once on Level Three, one can see that they cater more to the international palate by hospitably declaring a Chinese restaurant, “an authentic American Chinese restaurant” and offering cultural experiences in Thai, Mexican, Korean, Italian, sushi, and American fast food.
An OTB New Lunch promotion at On the Border drew us to try what could only be defined as Mexican Supreme within the borders of Korea. Delicious burritos, tacos, taco salads, fajitas, soups, chips, and fries are there for the choosing. Noteworthy were the monster-sized drinks with free refills. And of course, as any Mexican food connoisseur knows, the salsa is the deciding factor... it was scrumptious!
After we got our stamp from the OTB New Lunch promotion, we peeked at the many cafes situated throughout and noticed that there was even an Auntie Anne’s pretzel stand at the CGV theaters. The mall has all the choices to make an American feel right at home. We tried the tea with rose at Godiva. I have never had rose in a drink before and it was divine! I would order it again in a heartbeat.
*TASTY HINT: All the restaurants at the IFC Mall do not close for the 2:00 to 3:00 slump break, so you can have a late lunch.
DIRECTIONS: Take the Purple Line (5) on the Metro to Yeouido Station and take exit 3. Glide along the conveyor belts all the way to the mall entrance.
