| - We (my boyfriend and I) came to Jeon Ju Hyang on a Sunday afternoon, it wasn't busy at all, I believe only two tables were taken up.
I placed an order of the seafood soon tofu (normally i swear by two restaurants, which in my opinion, make the best soon tofu, but that day I decided to try it at this restaurant) combo, which also comes with a fried mackerel fish on the side.
My boyfriend got the chicken jap chae noodles.
Before they served us our actual meals, we were given some appetizers. There was quite an assortment - potatoes, kimchi, bean sprouts, seaweed salad, glass noodles, and a mixture of fish cake and carrots. You can also get refills, however on only 3 appetizers.
Our meals came shortly after, my boyfriend got his first. Naturally, I stole some of his to taste. The noodles, salad and rice combination was quite interesting as I wasn't used to it. But taste-wise it was quite good.
My seafood soon tofu came, I inhaled a bit of the smell and was really excited to try it. It also came with a small bowl of white rice, I was hoping for purple rice. Bummer. I mixed it a little, and discovered some octopus pieces, one mussel, a lot of tofu and two small shrimps. I took my first bite of the soon tofu with a spoonful of rice, and was surprised with a lot of garlic! The broth was really good and tasty but a bit too garlicky.
My boyfriend finished his meal before I did (typical) and the mackerel fish still hadn't arrived yet. I signalled the waitress and she told us it would be ready in 3 mins. By then I was nearly done my broth of the soon tofu but still had a lot of the tofu leftover. I was about to go in for my last spoonful of rice when the waitress took away the bowl of rice from me!!!! How rude!!!! Why the rush too ?!? It's not like there was a line up outside of the restaurant of people waiting to get seated. Ugh.
I quickly said, excuse me I am not done with that. She handed it back to me without saying anything. An apology would have been nice.
And finally. The fish came. It arrived at our table sizzling hot. My boyfriend and I enjoyed it. However, be careful. They did not debone it.
Overall, I wouldn't say it's the best Korean food I had and the service wasn't all that great either. But it did satisfy my craving for Korean food.
