Signature Dishes
I have heard of the bespoke korean restaurant at Amara hotel several times, including recommendations by korean natives. As with any other cuisine here, if a native recommends it it can't be bad mostly. I was glad to finally try out this place after a friend brought me here for my belated bday meal.The restaurant's deco and feel is a little like those of established chinese restaurant. We had lunch sets so I'm not sure if thats why we didnt get the free starters that authentic korean restaurants provide. Lunch sets are very affordable, mostly ranging between $10 to $25. I had a Kimchi soup and we ordered the onion pancake to share. The latter is really good!Just fyi the onion pancake came in one big pancake but the waitress cut it up for us in individual portions. A tad oily but very very tasty! Unlike other restaurants' pancake that taste bland and starchy, you can taste the spring onion in this. SUper like!I think i will eventually be back for the BBQ!Visit kopidiem.wordpress.com for more yummy reviews!

The FoodI ordered the The Kimchi-Jjigae ($15) spicy kimchi stew with pork rich broth with well balanced spicy and sour which comes with todu, clams and pork. Overall, the ingredients are fresh and portion is just nice.The ServiceAs I went on weekday evening, the restaurant was not so crowded and was immediately ushered to our table promptly.The AmbienceI like the cosy ambience and surroundings with comfy chairs with acceptable noise levelThe PriceReasonably priced at $15 for decent portionOverallI will definitely come back again and highly recommended to try this!

We dropped by Hyang To Gol one Sunday evening and the place was packed with Koreans and a couple of Singaporeans. Initial service was great but started to go downhill after we placed our orders. Iced water was not refilled, the wait staff had a sour expression on their faces (most of them at least) and alot of them had difficulty understanding what we were saying. It even took a long time for the bill to come. Food wise was decent and reasonably priced. Just that portions can be a little underwhelming so chow down on the plentiful side dishes or simply order more. If the service can be improved, I'll definitely be happy to go back.

We were surprised to find that the quality of the food seemed to have gone down, and the overall experience was just a little blah. The food's still above average, but we just didn't get the "oomph" feeling that we did the previous time. Maybe they do better during dinners. It didn't help that service that Saturday afternoon also seemed off, the staffs were extremely halfhearted and sluggish, and they could not have had a stonier appearance. It was like they all just got a shelling from their boss and couldn't wait to get off their shift. We didn't get any iced water until halfway through the meal, and our waters didn't get filled after that, despite the fact that the restaurant was barely occupied.

I got a korean friend to introduce to me an authentic korean restaurant.Service is good and the food taste marvelous!First time I am served with so so many small dishes for starters. It was even too much for me and my friend to finish them. In fact, alot of them are half eaten or barely eaten at all. Their kimchi is abit too sour for me to bear, but my korean friend love it.I ordered the ox tail soup, recommeneded by my friend, who is a soup lover. She told me that this soup is favourited by korean women because it is said to be good to maintain beauty. And it really taste good! Very smooth soup and sweet, but the taste is not very strong. Abit towards bland, but it's perfect for those who wants a simple healthy soup.Must try!
