Seoul 116

My friend and I went here yesterday to try something new. While they're quiet during the day, I'd like to visit at night or a weekend. Their capri drinks pack a punch both on alcohol and price but the flavor is amazing. Speaking of amazing, their food is top notch. I don't however agree with them on the "family sharing portion size" as I could easily have eaten one serving myself. What we did get though was great in flavor and presentation.

Delicious food, cool atmosphere, and interesting drinks. I recommend the chicken wings, the purple potato, the boozy capri suns, and the kirin slushie topped beer! Plan to get a few items and sharing or just for yourself!

Hot pot bibimbap was precise in proportion of ingredients and sauce. The beef tartare had a raw quail egg to pour on top to make the flavor extra creamy. The grilled octopus with wasabi relish had the perfect texture and flavor. The service was extra attentive.

Great sliders. Excellent blend of traditional korean flavours and western formats. Fun drinks selection too - had a Japanese beer flavoured with salted plum which was amazing (think, saltiness of a michelada and you get the idea.)

Food is delicious and flavorful. After I finished my food I wanted another order. Paired with the rice beer was a very refreshing meal. Technically you're supposed the share but the eggplant was just too good to share.

I really wanted to like this place. We love Korean food, but this place just missed the mark. We ordered the beef tartare, dumpling soup, and the mushroom japchae. Each item came out within minutes, which should tell you enough. Even though the waitress described the food as "authentic, it wasn't. The beef tartare (yukhoe) was decent, although not particularly authentic. Generally it is served with various other seasonings like garlic, spring onion, etc. Instead, it was rather plain and strangely soggy, even before adding the egg. The dumplings in the soup were clearly the same frozen dumplings you can buy at H-mart, and not at all appetizing.

Good food. Authentic flavors with an upscale twist. Corn cheese! Gochuchang edamame! Eat here. Soju cocktail with plum juice = win!!
