| - We stumbled upon King's Landing by querying for $$ restaurants? that have above average ratings. We expected King's Landing to be a neighbourhood pub. What we didn't expect yet gotten was really good pub food at reasonable prices, plus insane portion. Now that is a proposition that I can get used to.
Many reviewers already noted that the decor is modern. Nothing over the board, or pretentious. Just pleasant and relaxing. I may add that the washroom is clean and well maintained for the first half of the evening. By the second half, it gets a bit messy.
We consulted the previous reviews before we ordered. The homework paid off. The Portobello Burger ($12.75) was good. The bun was soft, and the beef patty tasted good. I must add that the cheese was really nice. The side salad was crisp and fresh.
If the burger was a quality burger at fair price, then the Seoul Poutine was sinful deliciousness at a steal. At $9.50, the Seoul Poutine featured bulgogi beef, cheese curds, kimchi cabbage, green onions, and gravy over fries. Boy, the fries were perfect: crispy outside and warm and soft inside. The kimchi cabbage added a kick to the gravy. The savory gravy danced in harmony with the sweet bulgogi. Okay, this was the first time I had Seoul Poutine, so I don't know how it compared to others. Yet this Seoul Poutine on and in its own tasted good, looked good, and smelled even better. The portion was huge. It could be a meal for a person and a half. It could be a tad too salty for some. If you like saltiness like I do, I strongly recommend you to give this poutine a shot.
Services was good. The greeter/manager was quick on his feet. He was polite and pleasant. Our waitress was the same, and always wore a smile. It was a full house, yet she seemed? to be at ease with the rushes and chaos.
This won't be our last visit.
