One can find the restaurant, Seoga & Cook (서가앤쿡), all over Korea. I had seen it before but had never been to until my co-worker, another Korean-American, recommended it to me. She described it as “a good place in Korea to get American-ish food.”
After going there, I’d say that that’s a pretty accurate description. They had American-style foods like pasta, risotto, and fried rice, but with a Korean twist, such as corn mixed in or sweet pickles as a side dish.
Locations vary, but the menu is often the same, and the atmosphere are trendy but comfortable.
All plates are priced the same at 19,800₩, but should be shared among 2-3 people.

Re: One can find the restaurant, Seoga & Cook (서가앤쿡), all ...
The new chain of the year in Korea. But I would not say their pasta is nothing like pasta in the US, and definately, not like pasta should be, or that you would find in say...Italy. It does, as you point out, have a Korean influence. As with ALL 'Italian' restaurants here, the small amount of pasta drowning in a sauce of something...just like many other ethnic dishes in Korea, is the norm. Stick to pizza here, if you are dying for something Italian!
