| - Continued Adventures in Korean Food in Montreal! I ate with a friend who had recently gone to Seoul, Korea. When I arrived, to my amazement, it was across the street from Hwang Kum, I realized why I never noticed it, the writing on the sign was not the most visible to me.
Overall Opinion (short form for those who don't like to read) GO and Try! They even have Korean BBQ for two on the menu! I thought the food was delicious, and cooked really well. I personally saw some reviews that made me skeptical of the place but I thought it was wonderful! (And that you don't have to sit on picnic tables, they have regular tables.
Inside: A cute cozy restaurant, with 5 tables (3 of them are for 2), standard jazz playing, a piano, and blue guitar on display. On the other side they incorporated bamboo curtains. It's a two women show, one that cooks, other serves. Decidedly, It is really cute.
Menu: I got to check this out so thoroughly (my friend was 45 minutes late due to traffic) They had a few entrées, some sides, a decent lunch menu, and stews, rice dishes. Dessert was Green Tea Ice Cream. Drinks they served the Ginseng Wine, Plum Wine, Sapporo... we found out that the SAQ doesn't carry any Korean beers nor some of their other popular alcohol drinks.
We ordered: frankly too much, but I get to have leftovers today!
Seafood Pajeon (the only kind of pajeon they have) it came crispy, and served on a hot plaque, and it was not too heavy, not greasy, and delicious!
Bibimbap with Chicken and Egg: I really enjoyed the flavours of this one, it was not made too sweet or spicy, most places I know do it with beef only, chicken in it made it very different, as you typically don't think to get larger pieces of chicken in it, but it was nice, with an array of vegetables and rice.
Ojingeo Bokkum: Spicy stirfried squid with peppers and rice. Spiced just right, she cooked the squid PERFECTLY! There is nothing more unappetizing than overcooked squid. Minimal chewing is so key! On the side we had rice, that was mixed with something, but I had forgotten to ask what...
We got all our dishes relatively fast, it came with traditional Korean side dishes (Banchan):
Kimchi was definitely homemade, my friend prefers it spicier, I was happy with it, the only thing we both agreed was that we wished it was a bit older.
Oijangajji to me it seemed different from the rest, it had a kick to it, but at the same time I actually noticed something that was similar to western pickles.
They also had 3 other sides that came with it, but due to overwhelming amount of food, I didn't get to try it. The only disappointment was that there were not the bean sprout side dish! (Personal favourite of mine).
