Ive been meaning to try this newly opened restaurant ever since passing by after it my gym sessions at Hone Fitness nearby. The noodle restaurant that was here before that wasn't very popular so I was hoping this new place would deserve the good location it is in. Unfortunately it didn't manage to impress me.
K-wok is mainly a Chinese restaurant with Korean twists to some of their dishes, and as a result you won't be served the traditional side dishes like in other Korean restaurants.
The main thing I wanted to try was their lamb skewers. They are my personal childhood favorites from the street food stalls in China, so I naturally gravitate towards them at any restaurant and have always wanted to taste and compare. However the worst thing a new customer can hear at a new restaurant is what they wanted to try wasn't available! The waitor said they don't have it yet. I'm not sure if it was because I came during lunch time and they didn't really prepare for the ingredients yet. In any case if it's on the menu it should always be available.
I ended up ordering just the Beef Noodle Soup, and oh man was this dish a dissappointment. The beef brisket was very dry, hard to chew, and tasteless, I managed to stomach it with the Sriracha and Hoisin sauce that came along on the side...but couldn't rely on it too much since the salty soup base adds to the saltiness of the sauces. My throat is craving water so much right now as I'm writing this review. The noodles were average at best, but given the dissappointment with the beef, I actually finished the noodles plain, and left more than half of the beef untouched by the time I asked for the bill.
There are other dishes on the menu that some have reviewed well, but after my first experience here I'm not sure if I would spend the money to give it a second chance again.
