| - This place looks very cool! The design is nice, a little small resto that my friends and I were really looking forward to seeing.
We arrive at this place without reservation for four people on a Wednesday night (around 9pm) and the only seats available were on the patio. It was a bit chilly though so we asked if we could be moved inside once a table cleared. They said of course and after forty minutes or so we moved inside. The place looks nice and clean and so do the bathrooms, our plates looked freshly washed and the utensils were spotless.
THE FOOD
In one word, disappointing. I LOVE Korean food and was firstly surprised to see that you had to BUY the banchan which is usually supplied with the meals. However not a huge deal since they aren't going for your typical kresto feel anyway, I ordered the kimchi udon and some veggie skewers. The skewers were COLD. It had clearly been made a while ago and just left waiting for someone to order. It was also over cooked. The sauces provided were alright, we weren't told what the sauces were nor were they listed on the menu. The kimchu udon was delicious, however VERY OILY!!! Kimchi was very good and it was served hot!
Vegetarians, limited options!
DRINKS
We ordered the makkoli which personally I wasn't a fan of but the rest of my friends enjoyed it. I ordered the house white wine and was pleasantly surprised. It was very delicious and probably my favourite part.
SERVICE
There were only two waitresses, which considering how small the place is, is fine however we didn't get a lot of attention. She was very nice and polite but once our food was served we were basically left alone.
Overall it was OK, I likely won't be back since I've had much better Korean food elsewhere. It's a nice place if you just want a drink and some (sub-par) appetizers, otherwise I'd skip it.
