A reader comment on our New & Notable Grub Map tipped us off to a Korean fast-food joint on St. Marks Place that's just a few days old (keep those tips coming, people).
Seoul Station, run by a first-time operator, is still getting its legs (they'll be serving OB beer as soon as the license comes in, plus cinnamon and rice drinks), but the sandwich we tried yesterday (packed with a mouthful of veggies including pickled daikon and shiitake mushrooms as well as egg and your choice of meat or tofu on a toasted roll) held its own as a Korean alternative to the ones at Nicky's Vietnamese.
And here's a secret about it: You can order it with provolone. Not quite as successful: The al dente dumplings topped with sesame seeds. The full menu follows.
