| - TLDR: Cute little restaurant that quickly serves authentic bold Korean deliciousness. Warning: the portions are HUGE.
This restaurant works on a first come first serve basis, and why not considering they are always packed. We went on a Tuesday and the door was constantly opening by people in hopes of eating something delicious.
The three of us sat down and studied the long menu religiously. We agreed to share everything and finally decided on the dumplings (they are filled with beef), a spicy cold beef glass noodle soup, bibimbap in a hot stone bowl, and seolleongtang (beef bone broth soup). If you want dessert at the end you will have to go elsewhere as the do not have a dessert menu.
The meal starts with some delicious homemade Kimchi, cucumber salad, marinated potatoes, crunchy spicy marinated something that I couldn't figure out (I think it was also potatoes), and bean sprout salad. We all agreed that our favourite was the tangy cucumber salad.
The steamed dumplings came first and they were very tasty. Simple, delicious, and the accompanying sauces were much appreciated. We also used the leftover sauces from the side dishes for some diversity in flavour.
Our three "main sharing dishes" arrived and we realised that we probably got the worst three dishes to share. Don't get me wrong, they were fabulous in flavour, texture, etc. However, when it comes to sharing... noodle soups are a bad idea. Also, the portions were massive. We were three people and we still had leftovers!
The scissors provided at the beginning of the meal was for the kimchi, but we ended up using them for the long noodles in the soup as we had a lot of trouble picking them up! I do apologise if we offended anyone by cutting our noodles!
The bone broth soup was one of the most decadent soups I have ever tasted, and every spoonful was belly-filling. The spicy cold beef noodle soup had just the right kick and was bursting with flavour. The winning dish was the bibimbap with the crunchy rice at the bottom. We all agreed that we will still order it the next time we come back.
At the end of the meal, I asked the waiter which dishes were the best for sharing because clearly noodle soups are not ideal. He pointed me towards the Korean bbq plates in the front of the menu and of course the sharing platters in the back. He also informed me that their most popular dish is the seafood pancake, which is great for people who enjoy seafood. We will definitely heed is advice the next time we visit. My last note is that the food is very warming, so I will most likely be frequenting the Kwang Kum more in the winter than the summer.
Definitely an experience I would recommend :)
