I have read about this place quite a couple of times before and noticed the good reviews. Hence I jumped at the chance to visit this place for dinner with my family. Luckily I called the day before to book a table because during our course of dinner, a few customers had to be turned away. They had no reservation and the place is fully booked till 9.30 pm. And that's for a thursday night.Even though the place was busy, service was still good and prompt. The wait staff was very happy to top up an
Even though the place was busy, service was still good and prompt. The wait staff was very happy to top up any of the side dishes (complimentary). The side dishes were all pretty tasty, especially the glass noodles and the kimchi, which is the more fiery type.
- The side dishesThe seafood pancake was crispy and delicious dipped in the accompanying chilli-sesame sauce. There wasn't much seafood given, just a few prawns.
- Seafood pancakeThe beef short ribs which came sizzling on a hotplate was tender, juicy and well-marinated with a delicious sauce. Do remember to eat them first else the last remaining pieces might start getting charred - unless that's your intention
- Beef short ribsWe ordered one of the signature dishes, the Suyuk. It is basically pork belly slices with a few vegetables on the side. The waiter enquired if this is the first time we are trying the dish. When we said yes, he proceeded to patiently explain the three different ways you can eat it. Basically there are different combinations of the types of vegetables/dips to go with the pork belly. Interesting. Quite a tasty dish. But since I'm not a particular fan of pork belly, this is not more favourite dish here.
- SuyukAnother signature dish, the dakgalbi (spicy grilled chicken) was really spicy but tasty. Tender chicken chunks are cooked in a special chilli sauce with rice cake and assorted vegetables. We opted to have the chef use the remaining sauce/vegetables in the hot pot to cook up a special fried rice (see photo below). Usually the chef cooks it on the spot by the side of your table. But because my young nephew was there, they cooked it in a further corner of the restaurant in consideration of safety.
- DakgalbiThe fried rice absorbed the delicious sauces and was very tasty. A highly recommended add-on option to your dakgalbi.
- Fried riceThe korean food here is pretty good, I'll say. Definitely will be back for repeat visits.
