Ashu
Mons, Belgium
The read// why locals go
Ashu opened on the Rue de Nimy as the first Korean restaurant in Mons, and it still works to a single food culture rather than a general Asian menu. The card is Korean comfort cooking: bibimbap, dakgalbi, kimbap and Korean fried chicken, the dishes a Korean kitchen is judged on rather than the ones designed to reassure. It is owner-run and stays at one location, which shows in the scale of the room and the way the menu holds its shape instead of expanding to catch every passing appetite. The Rue de Nimy is one of the busier local eating streets in Mons, and Ashu occupies the useful end of it — a proper kitchen at everyday prices.
