| - In the area after getting my haircut, I noticed an usual new surprise of restaurant within the vicinity. Mamaoh? With such highly rated reviews, and cream jjam bbong? oh mama..... what is this place
1 mile south from the serenade area, this gem is in the middle of a pretty dead space. I came here on a sunday at 3pm for lunch.
Interior: Big and open. You could probably hear yourself echo in this place. Pretty clean but there is only one server to accommodate the whole restaurant and a table was still covered in empty dishes from the previous customer
Service: It seems that korean places always appoint not enough help. This is what i've noticed especially at korean bbq places. Maybe to save money? idk but there was only one server working when I had stopped by. He was very good at taking my order, bringing my food, and offering to bring anything else that I may need.
Food: Lots of options from different kinds of soups, to other traditional korean food, and fusion dishes. Now i'm used to having normal jjamg bbong which is this spicy red broth that loosens the pores causing the sweat to come pouring but when I heard that theirs was cream? Made me very curious. It was $11 and was gigantic. Seriously... I was a bit overwhelmed at how big this bowl was. Nonetheless, the noodles tasted like the owner had made them herself and the broth was very unusual. A creamy alfredo but a spicy after taste, it really is quite a great alteration to a traditional dish. It was loaded with mussels, clams, and that mini shrimp. Honestly I think most people would really enjoy this but I actually don't like creamy broth (not a big italian fan)
Menu: The layout and offers seemed to mirror SOYO's. Not sure if this is a sister restaurant but assuming no since it's literally a mile away from SOYO. Not advertised as a drinking place like them but just for food.
Overall: It was good and added some color to an otherwise lifeless plaza. I'd come back to try the fried chicken rice bowl or the mozzarella cheese bbq ribs
