Difference between Korean and Japanese food as apposed to Chinese food?!
Answers: I love Chinese food and me and my friends are going down to the local Korean /Japanese restaurant tomorrow. Whats Korean/Japanese food like?
Well, Korean food - generally speaking - you'll pretty much always have a variety of side dishes - which include picked spicy cabbage (kimchi), salted small fishes, other salted or picked vegetables, and of course, rice. You'll find a lot of soups and stews in Korean cuisine, which is not surprising given its cold climate - very enjoyable.
-Some of the major dishes include:
-grilled meats such as sliced, marinated beef (bulgogi), beef short ribs (kalbi)
-Ginseng chicken soup stew (samgyetang)
-Kalbi tang (beef short ribs soup - usually not spicy)
-fried egg/leek pancake
-tofu stew (soontofu) - can have some minced or ground pork, mushrooms, or seafood in it - very filling, nutritious
-Bibimbap -rice bowl with vegetables, some beef strips, fried egg, and red pepper paste on top
-Mandokuk-pork/leek dumplings in soup, similar to Chinese shuijiao, but flavoring is different.
Generally, the food is pretty spicy - major key flavorings and ingridients include garlic, green onion, chili paste, sesame oil, capsicum, etc. Contrast this with most Japanese food, which tends to be milder in flavor. Korean food seems to have less seafood offerings than Japanese. Chinese cuisine has many regional variations so it's harder to generalize.
It is different sauces, really. Japanese food is not as sweet or spicy as Chinese food, despite similarities. Korean food uses more fish sauce. I recommend Teriyaki anything, if you're a chinese food fan. Yaki Soba is pretty good, as well.
OMG, If you haven't had Korean food yet you don't know what your missing. It is much better then Chinese.
Order Garbeie
They are pretty much alike except their own signature spices, as well as some of preparing techniques used differently and distinctively
i agree with free. korean food is soooo good.. if its your first time, ask what they'd recommend.

I lived in Hong Kong and Japan for five years and my husband is Korean so I've tried all three.
In Japan they go for delicate flavours as in sushi and seafood in batter (apart from wasabi and terriyaki of course)
Korean is spicy. Their specialty is kimchi. Any Korean restaurant serves that as a matter of course regardless of what you order. Try Bulgogi if you get the chance.
In China there are many variations because it is so vast. Dim sum is popular where I lived.
well just a reminder Chinese food in America aren't really chinese food that chinese eat in china
American Chinese food are made to fit American's taste
(whoa too much china)
However Korean and Japanese food in America are similar or same as their real food
I never had real chinese chinese food but
I think CHinese food are more greasier or grilled than both.
Korean food are spicy hot, and good
Japanese however is not spicy or hot and still good
usually miso soup and fish
