i don't normally write reviews and stuff but thought we should because we used open rice to find this restaurant in the first place!so i thought it would be good to just give our fair and honest opinion because we realised some comments are quite old. me and my friend are from london travelling around asia and stopped by hk to see some old uni friends. Anyways, my friend really wanted to eat Korean and our hk friend said we should search it up on open rice so we did and decided to go there for
so i thought it would be good to just give our fair and honest opinion because we realised some comments are quite old.
me and my friend are from london travelling around asia and stopped by hk to see some old uni friends. Anyways, my friend really wanted to eat Korean and our hk friend said we should search it up on open rice so we did and decided to go there for lunch. plus it was really near our hotel where we stayed.
didn't have a hard time finding the place. there's only one korean restaurant on that street.
there was a person handing out leaflets right outside and glad we took one! because it had a FREE DRINKS coupon. wanted to get one each, but thought that would be pretty cheap of us, so we restrained ourselves.
the place looked alright i guess, it was clean, bright and korean pop music was playing in the background.
the decor was pretty cute. it had random art pieces around the whole place and the place wasnt too busy.
the menu was cute and PICTURES!! yes yes loads of pictures (what we foreigners like to see) but better still the menu was in english too.
we wanted to order grill but ended up ordering from the lunch menu instead. i got a bibimbap (my personal favourite) and my friend ordered galbijjim (braised beef on bone)
soon after the 7 side dishes came (free of course) and they were nice enough to refill some of those when we asked.
the food was really quick to come out. we were served nearly simultaneously, which doesn't happen sometimes in asia we learnt. and were happy we could start eating at the same time.
wish we took a photo of the dishes! my bibimbap was exactly like the one in the photo and the braised beef was delicious
i really liked how the food it wasn't too salty, or too bland. Normally we don't really finish the side dishes that are given to us because they are too over seasoned, but the seasoning was really great here. you could actually taste the natural ingredients
in all the meal cost us just over @110 for two people plus the free drink.
they didn't even take any service charge!!! wow. so we tipped them $20, would have liked to give them more but didn't have any more small notes. in london i'm used to tipping way more than that even for a meal i didn't particularly enjoy.
my hk friend said korean restaurants are pretty expensive, but i must introduce him to this one, cus i personally felt that was a bargain for good authentic korean food
they gave us 2 pieces of gum and loyalty card (the ones where you collect stamps for each meal thing) with our bill. it already 3 stamps on it. they explained one extra stamp was given as a' service'. and that if we collect 12 stamps, our next meal is free.
i must remember to give the card to my hk friend cus we'll be off to shanghai next week.
on the way out there were some framed autographs of local hk? korean? stars i guess. don't know who they were but took some photos next to it just in case and will probably ask my korean friend later.
overall, really enjoyed the meal. thought it was a bargain with the free drinks coupon, quality food, no service charge, loyalty cards
might go there again for grill sometime this week before we leave hk cus its so near to our hotel.
