So now that TST became the place to go to for Korean food, I’ve made it a personal goal to try a new restaurant every time I have dinner there. This time I just so happened to have seen someone post pictures of this place so I decided to give it a try with my friends.The location is a bit hard to find – near Jordan and hidden in a small building. Although we made a reservation we didn’t really need to as the restaurant didn’t seem too busy when we arrived.After we placed our order we were served

After we placed our order we were served some banchan -
Nothing in particular stood out to me. In fact, we all thought they too salty.We started with a galbijjim – Korean braised beef short ribs
My favourite thing about their version of it was the chestnuts I love chestnuts! Otherwise, a decent dish although I did find it a bit too sweet. The meat could also be more tenderNext up was the Dak Galbi – Spicy Chicken (but no rice cake)
Again pretty decent. They used thigh meat so the meat was pretty tender & juicy. A bit on the sweeter side as well and I would have preferred the vegetables to be cooked longer.We wanted to order something more unique so we also ordered a cheese ddeokbokki – spicy rice cake topped with cheese
Nothing with baked cheese on top can ever go wrong It went well with the rice cakes. The sauce was also very spicy! I loved it although some of my friends couldn’t handle that much heat.After we finished the food we were given a small glass of fruit vinegar to help with digestion. Pretty thoughtful of them!
Anyhow, food is not bad but I doubt that I’d come back. I haven’t tried many Korean restaurants in HK yet but I’m sure there are better ones out there.
