Reviews & Ratings
This restaurant came highly recommended by many local Koreans, who boldly claimed it serves one of the most authentic and extensive Korean menus you can find in KK — and after my visit, I completely understand why.
The menu reads like a greatest-hits list straight out of Korean dramas, filled with familiar comfort dishes. What caught my attention immediately were the cold noodles and the pork blood sausage.
The moment we arrived, the space felt warm and homely. We were welcomed with six varieties of refillable banchan along with a comforting pot of steaming egg that set the tone for the meal. Oh yeah~
I want to try the mulnaengmyeon (usually available in korean bbq restaurant), featuring an icy beef broth that was tangy, clean, and incredibly refreshing, exactly what you crave after a hot day or a long working stretch.
Served with mustard, gochujang, and vinegar for personal adjustment, the flavours became even more lively with each bite. The slim buckwheat noodles were light and pleasantly chewy, satisfying without feeling heavy.
Topped with slices of pear, shredded pickled radish, cucumber and half of hard boiled egg with lots of toasted white sesame added a cooling sweetness that made the entire bowl feel revitalising.
To pair, I had the sundae, pork intestine stuffed with pig’s blood and thick glass noodles. The intestines leaned slightly overcooked, making them slight dry, but the flavour still delivered.
Personally, I preferred dipping it into chilli sauce rather than salt — it brought out a richer and more balanced taste. These two items you don’t often see done confidently unless a restaurant truly knows its roots.
My absolute favourite of the night was the osam bulgogi — pork and squid sizzling together on a hot iron plate. The sweet-spicy sauce was deeply addictive, especially when eaten alongside rice. Need more rice.
Mr. Hubby chose the classic sundubu jjigae, a spicy kimchi-based stew with soft tofu and egg. It was decent and comforting, exactly what you would expect from a traditional staple, taste familiar and reliable.
To end the meal, the service crews cleared our table promptly and served us with complimentary sikhye, a chilled sweet rice drink that ended with refreshing note, leaving a calm and satisfied finish without heavy.
The service crew were fast, attentive, and consistently polite throughout the evening, making the entire experience smooth and genuinely pleasant. This place absolutely worth every penny.
Kthxbye.
