How far do you have to travel for good German food?

We had the opportunity to go out to lunch with our next door neighbors- Anna and John. We walked down to the main shopping strip and over to a little house- yes, a house- with a sign out front "Memories". It's a cute little wooden house with a porch- amidst alleyways, hotels, parking lots, vendors, high-rise apartments. Memories is run by a German chef and his Korean wife- they had a restaurant in Seoul, but rent became too high so they moved to Songtan. The Korean lady is the only waitress- so if there are too many people in the restaurant, she will just turn you away at the door because she doesn't want to fill any more tables. He hails from Germany an imports sausages, beer and mustard to fill his menu. Even authentic coasters from Munich (see pic)!! I ordered the Bratwurst, sauerkraut, and roasted potatoes- Evan ate an ENTIRE bratwurst and a couple potatoes. The sauerkraut was the best I've ever had- absolutely deee-lish! Or maybe that's just my crazy pregnancy taste buds talking...
Matt ordered a goulash stew- very tender and tasty with lots of paprika. His potatoes came mashed with bacon and butter... yum! If you ever feel like traveling to Korea for great German food, we know the place!
