| - Went the first time and it was a good experience. The second time not so well. This place has been really overhyped by social media and youthful Asians on Instagram portraying it to be the cool Korean fusion bar on willowdale. It provides a great drinking and loud environment with a variety of cocktails. It peeves me to write a negative review for a new hot trendy place, but it has to be done. I ordered fish tacos, kalbi tacos, spicy pork tacos, chicken tacos, creamy rice cake, kimchi fries+bulgogi, spoon pizza. These are basically what everyone has recommended to me over social media.
Fish tacos: came really bad and dry, surprisingly the waitress told us that it would taste "much better" with Tabasco sauce meaning it probably wouldn't have much taste...and it didn't taste that good and they costed 4 dollars each. 1/10
Kalbi tacos: they came in two minutes after we ordered them. Meaning they were probably made for another table as a wrong order and given to us. Ridiculous, as they were cold and soggy. The first time I came here they were amazing however. 7/10
Spicy pork/chicken tacos: they were whatever, wouldn't order again. 5/10
Spoon pizza: a concoction of mashed potatoes, cheese, and kimchi and eat with a spoon for like 10 dollars. Not my cup of tea. 5/10
Creamy rice cake: doboki slathered in Alfredo sauce. For 10$ you get 15 rice cakes, aside from the price it's actually pretty tasty and good. But for the price? No. 7/10
Kimchi fries with bulgogi: best thing I've had here, and sadly the only thing that lived up to its hype. The fries are perfect and golden, basically a poutine with mayo and kimchi and beef and all its fixings. But it comes with a steep price tag of $18 dollars. 8/10
My review may be treated and looked down upon as being the first the criticise this establishment but many probably feel the same. The steep price tag and mediocre food do not make customers happy, although the place is packed every weekend night. How? Social media, referrals and a great place to hang out and have a drink with friends. Overall I would come here if a friend asked me to but wouldn't come here more than once or again unless I had to.
