Saturday night dinner with parents. I have long wanted to try this Korean eatery with a pretty long history and apparently a solid reputation.Although we didn't book a table the restaurant was still very empty when we arrived at 7.15. We were seated immediately in a booth. Dining area is big, comfortable, clean with sufficient lighting.Banchans were served - all generally very nicely made indeed! Better than average, I would say. Even the very basic napa cabbage kimchi was crisp, has a refreshing tang to it, yet was not too sour. A good variety too.For 3 people we ordered1. Marinated chicken for grilling ($110)I haven't grilled Korean meats at a restaurant for quite a while as I have been eating so many casseroles, so I wanted to barbecue something. Meats are mildly marinated, tender, naturally flavorful and fresh.2. Stir fried pork with rice ($110)Very mild tasting pork, slightly sweet, supposedly kimchi with pork but my mom doesn't want it spicy which was quite disappointing. I would personally prefer the original kimchi pork. Colorful assortment of vegetables.3. Stone pot rice with seafood ($130)(In case you're wondering my mother is a non-beef eater, hence the chicken[pork/seafood.) Rice came sizzling hot, a nice crust formed in the bottom. I would say this dolsot bibimbap is better than that from Gogujang and even Arirang. Especially like their touch of lettuce and seaweed.4. Seafood Jajang Myeon ($110)Egg noodles served with quite pungent dark, slightly thick soy-based sauce. Especially enjoyed the sauce, which had quite a lot of tiny shrimps and squid (this IS seafood jajang myeon, after all)Generally everything was good - portion sizes are quite hearty. Ingredients used are very fresh. Service is also quick, waiters are very friendly and courteous as well. A very pleasant dinner indeed - in fact, I can say it's among one of the best Korean restaurants that I've been to in HK. And for 3 people plus the quantity of food we'd had, the bill came to just $530, as we ordered drinks as well.…查看更多
I visited this restaurant many times. Food is good especially for the 炆牛肋骨 but I also have to overcome the bad service encountered every time. It is especially for the poor management of the booking system. The manager said that they accept booking at least for 6 persons but everytime people said that they have booked table for six but unfortunately only 3 attend but the waiter still arrange for them stupidly. Besides, it is especially the Philipine liked lady don't take care the queue & even void the booking table area sometimes & always the waiting area is in a mess. It discourage very much for the people like me would like to follow the queue.如果在繁忙時間應付不來,也不能給食客這種態度,為何要讓我們受氣﹖食物雖然不錯,但我也不會再次光顧了。…查看更多

This so-called "restaurant" is an absolute joke. It calls itself a Korean fast food restaurant, but charges extortionary prices. Expect to pay 100 for any given lunch set, but the quality is worse than the chinese fast food chain in Newark airport.I ordered the #1 set lunch, and when the meat came I could not tell what they were serving me. I assumed the darker colored meat was beef, but it tasted like how I would expect rat meat to taste like. After trying one piece of meet, I could not force myself to eat any more even though I entered the restaurant with raging hunger. My colleague ordered what was supposed to be a beef noodle soup...except it seemed like it was easier to find waldo than it was finding the beef.I would not be this pissed off had the service been better, but unfortunately, their service was the same quality as their food. They don't speak to you, they yell at you. On top of that, they keep trying to kick you out. If you stayed longer than 30 minutes, they would start harassing you until you left. I suspect that some of their workers may not even be legally employed.I've had a lot of korean food in Hong Kong, and this restaurant by far ranks the absolute lowest. I have no idea why anyone would ever come to this restaurant again after the first time. I have no idea how they're even still in business. Fortunately, we have enough great choices in this city to afford not to visit an establishment such as this.
