Swung by for lunch since I was in the Chinatown area. Ordered their Super Bento for $13.90 before GST. The bento box comes with banchan (fried honey potatoes, kimchi, bean sprouts, radish) and a bowl of miso soup. Complimentary tea served on the side.
First off, this thing is a lot of food and a pretty good value even in Chinatown. However, it isn't going to knock your socks off. Starting from the top left and going clockwise.
Spring rolls were oddly shaped and probably the worse I have tasted in Calgary. I love spring rolls but these were bad. Something was off with the filling and the wrapper.
Seafood pancake was hot and crispy, very good. Didn't detect much seafood but I liked it alot.
The short ribs and bulgolgi were ok. Texture on the short rib was a bit too soft/mushy, bulgolgi was just average. Should've been heated a bit more.
Spicy squid was also ok. Good spice, a few pieces of squid and some veg. Also could've been reheated more.
Japchae noodles were ok. Also needed to be warmed more, the noodles were a bit harder then I prefer.
Fried chicken. Now this was the star of the bento. Nice and crispy, light batter, juicy and tender chicken. Only knock on this was it needed a sauce of some kind.
I liked the kimbap, it was nice and tasty. Quick dip in the sauce and you're golden.
Overall, good value. Don't order this unless you're hungry. Consider getting fried chicken as your main or side dish.
