lunch by myself - among one of the last korean restaurants on HK island that i have not tried - 2 to go!impressive! not only was i served the usual banchans a mini lettuce salad with a bit gochu garu (korean red pepper) came with the banchan. however i must note -1. white cabbage kimchi (the basic one) was NOT crisp - it was limp; i don't think they used coarse salt to marinate it (which they should have done) it also lacked the sweetness that promising kimchi delivers anyway. enjoyed the soup w
impressive! not only was i served the usual banchans a mini lettuce salad with a bit gochu garu (korean red pepper) came with the banchan. however i must note -
1. white cabbage kimchi (the basic one) was NOT crisp - it was limp; i don't think they used coarse salt to marinate it (which they should have done) it also lacked the sweetness that promising kimchi delivers
anyway. enjoyed the soup which was served with the lunch set, the usual daikon beef soup. broth was more clear than the same soup served in some other korean restaurants, which is better than expected.
ordered 2 lunch sets for myself:
1. stir fried spicy octopus ($49): not as greasy as they make it in other restaurants - awesome! it still has a nice touch of sesame oil to it. the portion was a bit small but hey, it is cheap. it was served with shredded raw cabbage and julienned cucumbers.
2. mixed bulgolgi meat platter ($65): i guess they don't have self-served grilling during lunchtimes. this came cooked. an assortment of meats - short ribs, pork slices, chicken fillet pieces, beef slices - were in the platter. good bulgolgi marinade, not too much garlic, right amount of sweetness, not overly salty, not too pungent. good!
i actually prefered the stir fried octopus to the platter although meat platter of course is more, um, nourishing.
environment is quite good - comfortable seating, OK spacious (but the celiing was quite low), good lighting, good upkeeping - but i had to wait a while to be seated; it was around 1PM on tuesday.
service was ok, but staff wasn't too friendly (for instance not replying when i thanked them)
will defintely come back but next time i'd have dinner here!
