Recommending by my dear colleagues spending our work lunch at a hidden Korean restaurant. It is hidden along the main street with a dim entrance requiring walking down the stairs. Restaurant was spacious. Orders made via submitting a handwriting form to counter and making pre-payment. Staff were mostly Korean. Preferably communicating with simple English. They were so nice, so welcoming and very polite. Staff first served the appetisers, lotus, pickled turnip, kimchi and sprouts. Lotus was crisp
Staff were mostly Korean. Preferably communicating with simple English. They were so nice, so welcoming and very polite. Staff first served the appetisers, lotus, pickled turnip, kimchi and sprouts. Lotus was crispy and marinated with lightly sweetened savoury ganjang sauce; kimchi was authentic, spicy and savoury; sprouts were mixed with sesame oil lightly spiced.
We ordered four lunch sets to share.
The pork bulgigi was served decently and immediately after placing the order. Coming with a bowl of seaweed soup, smelling incredibly nice. Huge rice portion which definitely more than filling you up. Love the pork was thinly sliced and on a lean side. Absorbed all the marinade while still moist and soft. It was also stir fried with loaded cabbages and shredded carrots. Giving an extra crunch and sweetness. Toasted sesame was sprinkled which gave a strong nutty kick on every savoury bite. Absolutely delicious.
The spicy stir fry pork visually was very pleasing and appetising. The gochujiang used definitely was the secret ingredient here. Smell incredibly good. Pork used was again a thin cut, absorbed and coated so well with the sauce. Spicy, sweet and very savoury. Again stir fried with cabbages and sprinkled with toasted white sesame. Best to serve with white rice.
Soft tofu stew was more a vegetarian option. Silky soft tofu soaking in the kimchi sizzling soup. Squash slices and onions were served alongside. It was okay, nothing special.
Cold soup buckwheat noodle was authentic. A pretty big portion. Noodle was on a tough side that still sticking together. Always love the combination of vinegar and mustard. Whole plain light flavour instantly lifted. Shredded cucumber and turnip were refreshing. Whole dish was very smoothing.
Four small sides were also came together with the lunch sets. We picked the fried vegetables pork dumplings, chicken gangjung, sweet garlic chicken gangjung and seaweed roll.
Seaweed roll was unexpectedly served in deep fried. It was stuffed with savoury vermicelli. Even it was crispy, it wasn't my favourite. Personally didnt like the idea of deep frying vermicelli roll, a bit bland and greasy.
Sweet garlic chicken gangjung was very sweet and sticky. Not much garlic flavour. Chicken was moist. Little bit too sweet to me.
Chicken gangjung was the best among all. Spicy and little bite sweet. Crunchy batter fully coated the moist savoury chicken.
Fried vegetables pork dumplings were okay. Crispy wrapping but the sealing part was slight thick and tough. Stuffing was alright.
Food was in big portion and love that they offered combo for customers to try more. It was satiating to enjoy goodnesses all over the table during a work lunch. Really love they sprinkled toasted white sesame to almost all dishes. Staff were very friendly and observant. Even there was still half cup of tea remained, staff kept helping to refill during these rushing hours. Not bad!!
