Absolutely horrible!!! I suspect the positive reviews on Openrice and Google are highly dishonest.Details as follows: - 1. Horrible food - 100% inauthentic, tasted like a nasty parody of Korean cuisine. Here is a breakdown: - (A) I had the beef ribs as main. There were more tendons than meat, to the point where I had to spit out most of the meat. I gave up eating it. The meat was also severely under seasoned, and there was no Korean soy sauce on the side like in most (if not all?) Korean BBQ re

1. Horrible food - 100% inauthentic, tasted like a nasty parody of Korean cuisine. Here is a breakdown: -
(A) I had the beef ribs as main. There were more tendons than meat, to the point where I had to spit out most of the meat. I gave up eating it. The meat was also severely under seasoned, and there was no Korean soy sauce on the side like in most (if not all?) Korean BBQ restaurants.
(B) The salad that came with the set had no Korean element in it. It tasted like a salad in a Japanese or Western set. The sauce was also very sour. Simply unpleasant.
(C) The beef soup tasted normal, but there appeared to be quite a bit of MSG in it.
(D) The ginseng icecream tasted plainly strange. I could barely taste the ginseng, and the icecream melted really fast, which probably meant there was very little milk/cream and more water.
(E) The small plates: only the kimchi (which I presume were not even made by the restaurant) tasted normal. The pickled cucumber and pickled radish were Japanese style rather than Korean. Very puzzling. The lotus root dish had a strange sauce.
(F) The best part of the meal was actually......the coffee. It tasted normal. What a relief.
2. Poor atmosphere: the lights were so dim, the restaurant is even darker than the LKF bars nearby in the daytime. The bathrooms were even darker, to the point where I could barely use it. Is this a joke? I feel bad for the staff working there.
Overall, at this quality I suspect this restaurant will go out of business within one year. Fake reviews can only get you so far. Maybe you can fool people to visit once, but they won't return. The food quality is poorer than small Korean restaurants that charge under HKD100 for a lunch set.
If you don't feel like torturing your taste buds, please AVOID.
