I cannot parse what the word "being" is supposed to mean in this sentence from the article: "The menu and policies of this restaurant differ from its Asian counterparts, serving no dog meat or ginseng wine being and prohibiting photography." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.23.244.147 (talk) 20:50, 12 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Prices[edit]

Actually the Slate article only mentions prices in Cambodia (being in USD & expensive), probably this is different in say Thailand (whose currency is more useful internationally). --Soman (talk) 01:46, 30 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Possibly. One could qualify the article thus: "... dollars, at least in Cambodia", if that would not be an excessive level of detail. Sandstein 06:02, 30 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No photography[edit]

The article says that photography is not allowed. This might be true for some of these restaurants, but it is definitely not true for the one in Siem Reap, Cambodia. The 19 Jan 2012 article in the NY Times reads "You would not know that North and South Korea were technically still at war by the beaming faces all around, the loud applause for the North Korean performers and the frenzy of picture-taking afterward. Northerners and Southerners pose shoulder to shoulder, a moment of cross-border kinship captured with the latest South Korean gadgetry." http://www.nytimes.com/2012/01/19/world/asia/north-and-south-koreans-mix-in-cambodia.html?scp=1&sq=pyongyang%20restaurant&st=cse . I have not changed the article, but if anyone is maintaining this article, I suggest that this be corrected. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Omc (talk • contribs) 21:48, 19 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Cities[edit]

The article states that there is a location in Bngkok (or at least that one opened there) but that location closed in 2009. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.8.196.216 (talk) 04:05, 20 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Dodgy reference[edit]

I've added the information that the Netherlands branch is up and running again, but the reference I have for it is a blog post with the word "watch" in the title, so I have my doubts about its reliability. Can someone find some better refs? --Slashme (talk) 13:42, 30 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
