The fried chicken’s meat quality is definitely one of the best I’ve had where the meat was juicy and not oily at all, while the skin was crispy despite chatting with my friends for a bit before eating. I suggest getting the half and half option if you want to try a lot of flavors but you have limited stomach space. We got 4 flavours in total: original, spicy, honey yoghurt, korean soy sauce. Honestly the best one is the spicy chicken- it had the most balanced taste of that iconic korean sweet sa
Though, the sauce of the two tteokbokki dishes we had were a little too sweet for me. The dish would could be better by adding more cabbage/ vegetables to balance out the heavy sauce. Another improvement they could make is replacing the rice crispies with something crunchier because you don’t get to experience the crunch of it at all as it quickly drowns into the abyss of sauce… The best part of the dish was definitely the bulgogi beef! I suggest only getting the beef tteokbokki over the gentlemen one.
The roaring boar (pork and rice) dish was really filling and flavourful. If you love a spicy meal go for this (but order a milkshake along with it; this combo is heavenly). The pork itself was lean and not too fatty (how I like it personally). But one thing they can improve is- give us the whole boiled egg! Why did we only get half a boiled egg as a side dish? I know it looks nice being cut in half but it doesn’t hurt to give us the other half as well 😂
For milkshakes we got 3: banana, taro, the white one (I think its vanilla). The banana milkshake my friend really enjoyed but be aware that the smell of this banana shake was very strong and artificial. The image was misleading because it showed a cup half the size of what we got (not complaining though because we loved the extra volume of milkshake that we got). To me, the taro and vanilla shake had the same initial taste. I’d say the texture was quite refreshing, where it wasn’t too heavy because it felt more like a slushy than the common feeling of drinking heavy cream when you get a dense milkshake. Sweetness of taro and vanilla was perfect and the drink was perfect for cooling down after eating spicy dishes. Just to let you know, we all finished our shakes before we finished our meals as well!
However, shaved ice dessert was quite lazy in the context of how its made and served as well! The waitress dropped our dessert’s ball of melon and didn’t have the courtesy to give us another piece or even acknowledge her mistake. Onto the actual dessert, they sinply bought a melon icecream popsicle and stuck it into shaved ice and called it a day. They could have put more effort into it honestly. The best part of the ice cream was the fruit: it was insanely fresh for a restaurant that doesn’t specialise in dessert imo.
However, the service overall was alright, especially when we first entered the restaurant we were greeted warmly and they even helped me stow my umbrella away.
The place was clean, spacious and aesthetically pleasing. Really loved the interior but sitting by the window could be a little hot especially when you’re eating spicy food.
To conclude, I would definitely come here again but only with at least 4+ people as the food is quite dense, heavy and filling!
Service: 7/10
Atmosphere: 9/10
Quality of meat: 9/10
Taste: 8/10
Hygiene: 7/10
Price: 6/10 (honestly for fried chicken the price shouldn’t be this high but for the others I’d say its kind of reasonable given the quality of the meat)
Side note: Sauces can be heavy, need to have moderate spice tolerance, definitely eat with a group of people to try out different foods (I wouldn’t eat any dishes on my own)
