| - Food 2.5/5 (50% of final grade)
My friends ordered a dolsot bap, savoury potato pancake, and kimchi fried rice. I ordered a ddebokki and tofu dumpling soup. As per standard for all Korean restaurants, our food came with many nice little side dishes. It actually took me a while to remember what was ordered (partly because I am incredibly forgetful), because the food simply wasn't particularly impressive. It was normal Korean food... If you crave a simple taste of normal Korean food, this is the place for you! But, if you're looking for something especially delectable, look somewhere else.
Ambience 2.5/5 (15% of final grade)
It was squished and GREEN (my favourite colour everywhere else, but as the colour of walls of this particular restaurant it simply didn't work for me). The humidity and lack of air conditioning also made the general feel of the restaurant sticky--though the tables and chairs were clean enough. However, the place wasn't particularly run-down. If anything, I see potential in it becoming a cozy hang-out for many residents in the area. The heat was a major turn-off factor though. If the temperature was more regulated, perhaps the green walls would have complemented a more refreshing room temperature.
Service 3.5/5 (15% of final grade)
Our server was very friendly! Smiles all around--this guy was obviously enthusiastic about the food they serve. Although we had to ask for more water at one point, they were very quick with replacing our water jug. When we stepped in, some of the staff were eating with their children, but she still quickly interrupted her meal to seat us--that was nice, how she didn't have us wait until the other staff came around.
Cost 3/5 (10% of final grade)
For average-quality food, the price was more than fair. Not exactly what I would call a "Cheap-eat", because a meal would still cost you a tenner, easy, with tips and tax, but this is definitely a place you can revisit a few times without breaking your piggy bank.
Brownie Points 2/5 (10% of final grade)
I would have given another point here, if the restaurant had stronger AC--my friends and I were almost melting in there. The two points, however, are for the service. I know I mentioned it already, but I just wanted to put it here again--I love eating in the presence of happy people and happy staff!
Final Grade = 53/100 = 3 stars
TLDR: This establishment is at par. Most likely won't be coming back though, because there were many other catchier restaurants around. Service was nice, but the food was simply ... NORMAL. Not a place for a date, more like a semi-rundown-but-not-actually-rundown place for a light, late night drink with friends and more affordable comfort food.
