| - The first time I went to the Korean Kitchen it was because it was new, and the Sunrise House had a line-up. The first time, I was pleasantly surprised. I order a standard bibimbap, and my partner had pork bulgogi. The portions were reasonable for someone eating dinner, and small for someone expecting to gorge themselves on cheap Korean food. However, the intensity of the flavours make both of our dishes seem like good value.
The restaurant was dim, and fairly empty. The dark decor gave it a pub-like atmosphere, which contrasted with the big screen playing mostly K-Pop music videos. The service was friendly, although the snack we were brought before our meal was confusing. It seemed to be a pint glass full of fried, sugar-dipped spaghetti noodles. Not sure if it was a joke. It looked like a creative diy-wedding centerpiece, but they tasted like fried, sugar-dipped spaghetti noodles.
The second time we went to the Korean Kitchen it was awful. The big screen was playing Justin Bieber, and we were seated in a booth at the back. The seats had an awkward split between the cushions that made it hard to get comfortable. Our dining companion had bulgogi, with chicken substituted for pork. We ordered a pork and bean sprout hot pot, which was cooked on a burner at our table. However, after our companion had been served and nearly finished her meal, ours still wasn't done, so the served took it back to the kitchen to finish cooking it. We got it about ten minutes later, overdone and flavourless. Our friend described her meal as, "okay."
In conclusion, not going back.
