If you enjoy Korean Ginseng Chicken come here!! Came here with my family for dinner on a weeknight at around 8pm so there were plenty of seats and no wait time. If you wear glasses and if it is cold outside your glasses may fog up the moment you walk in due to the the slight humidty inside from all the boiling soups and hot dishes.
We decided to try the Ginseng Chicken, bibimbap, and korean beef with purple rice.
The Korean Ginseng Chicken was great and was also my highlight. I was impressed with the soup as the Ginseng really added a nice and interesting bitter but earthy sweetness to it. The chicken itself was pretty big and tender, and stuffed with sticky rice and a red date. It came with a couple pieces of ginseng root which really enhanced the flavour of the chicken and the soup. If you chew on the Ginseng root it has a strong bitter taste but in a good way that may take some time to get used to at first. Not to mention Ginseng roots are super healthy as well!
The bibimbap was nice as well and tasted good with the Korean hot sauce. I also enjoyed the Korean beef with purple rice as the beef was soft and sweet.
As for the side dishes, it came witth potatoes, kim chi, tofu, seaweed? And radish with vingear. The potatoe side dish as well as the tofu seemed uniquely home cooked in a korean authentic way. The tofu slices were nice as they serve the whole piece of tofu rather than a hollow one with the just tofu skin, and was not dry. The potatoes were more of the stewed potatoes so I really liked it. The kim chi seemed tastier as well in comparison to other korean places I have tried that serve side dishes to start. The plates that you eat with are moon shaped plates
The service was relatively quick possibly because it was a week night. In terms of the restaurant itself its not too fancy inside but still comfortable.
Not to mention we got yoduly drinks for dessert!
Would definitelty come back again for Gingseng Chicken.
