| - My goodness this restaurant is a-may-zing. I don't know where to start.
Still don't know where to start.
OK, let's start with walking in. Chic décor and spacious, well laid out booths to the left and teppanyaki grills to the right. My party and I opted for the KBBQ to see what it was all about. We had the choice of 4 ppl or 6 ppl booths, I was with a party of 4 and we took the booth for 6 cause we often eat for 6 LOL. When we were given the menus I immediately knew this would be one for the books (pun intended). I've never seen a prettier or held a heavier menu, it was absolute boss.
A large selection of traditional and standard Korean dishes, BBQ a la carte and BBQ combos awaited us. Luckily I used to live with and go to school with roughly a dozen Koreans, so I am well educated on the majority of food offered at Kazan and ordered based on my experiences with Korean food.
As for drinks we order multiple rounds of Sapporo cans and Hakutsuru Sake. I know for sure they also have Sapporo in the bottle, as well as Asahi and Heineken.
All the appetizers they brought to the table were delicious and I noticed a serious jump in quality from what I was normally used to in the past. In addition I ordered "manni manni kimchi" which loosely translates to "lots and lots of kimchi", and I specifically asked for Gochujang a fermented hot pepper paste I am in love with.
First dish we ordered is one of my favourites, Kimchi Jigae. This dish is a stew made of mostly kimchi, tofu and pork or seafood. It is very spicy and rich because it is made with so much friggin kimchi. If you haven't already taken note, I'm a kimchi whore. After finishing this dish I felt so empowered and charged up I felt like building a house, it was one of the best renditions I had ever yammed.
Next dish we ordered was Dolsot Bibimbap, a mixed rice dish cooked in a stone bowl. This dish is super clutch because the bottom of the pot is coated with sesame oil so some of the rice "catches" (burns/sticks). When you get the bowl you scrape up the bottom and mix the rice so that you experience this texturegasm in your mouth of sticky/crispy/crunchy rice, meat and vegetables. Again, one of the if not THE best rendition I have ever had. This dish comes with an egg on top and I highly recommend chopping it up to bits and mixing it all up with the rice instead of divying it up amongst your party. I also recommend not touching the stone bowl at all unless you would like to sustain lasting burns to your hands.
Onto the phenomenal KBBQ. I've never not had all you can eat KBBQ and I swear by Chakos http://is.gd/1Kq3 | so I was well looking forward to seeing a jump in quality of meat and prep work. We ordered a variation of Bulgogi which was made from Beef Sirloin and came seasoned in a kimchi like rub. When it arrived at the table I was immediately fixated on the marbling in the meat. I had never seen so much marbling like that in any meat at any KBBQ I've ever been too. The second item we ordered was the Daeji Bulgogi, a spicy marinated pork which arrived coated in a red sauce screaming kimchi, much more then the beef sirloin. All the cuts of meat roughly resembled the shape and size of a std zippo.
Major change with this this KBBQ is that you don't have to cook, so classy. The only time you touch the grill is to take your meat off after it has already been cooked for you. Your waitress or waiter will put down the meat on the grill, return in approximately 2 minutes to flip it, then will return again in approximately 2 more minutes to shut the grill off. Truly a flawless procedure as they pop out of nowhere just in time to flip the meat when it needs to be flipped and it is by no means over or undercooked.
When we asked for the bill we were all greeted with a drink which was heavily infused with cinnamon and flakes of ice. It almost tastes as though it had like a melon dew juice base but I could not say for sure. It was the perfect closer to a hot spicy meal and if I had to rate the icy beverage I would give it a 4.9/5 as I don't give perfect scores.
This whole experience was truly revolutionary for me as I experienced such quality Korean food like never before. This resto is also located down the road from my house and right beside Tomo Sushi my favourite sushi venue!!! http://is.gd/1KtZ |
I highly highly recommend this spot to anyone who enjoys quality asian grub and does not mind shelling out a few extra bucks to eat it. I would definitely not take anyone here whom I feel would not appreciate the experience as I don't believe it is for everyone. As for me and my party we were all rendered speechless.
