Questionable American Comfort Food | Shy Bana 샤이바나 Gangnam

vibes

The diner-esque interior reflects American culture sensationalized through the eyes of a Korean person who's surely never been to America lol. There's a picture of a fat white lady and a neon sign that says, "Eat today, diet tomorrow".

We got the The Cheese Set that included a bread basket, Louis Cheese Spaghetti, Seafood Jambalaya, Original Mac and Cheese, and one drink. The dishes we ordered were in no way unique or astounding. I will say the jambalaya and macaroni and cheese were pretty enjoyable. However, the bread basket was forgettable and the spaghetti VERY mediocre. 

final thots

I enjoyed coming here purely for the novelty. They have sensational American dishes that are exciting to look at. If you want to carbo load, Shy Bana is the place. 

pros: large portions, unapologetic amounts of carbs and cheese

cons: kind of bland and not really "authentic"

what i recommend: seafood jambalaya

find it: Multiple locations including COEX (Samseong Station Exit 5) and Posco Building
