perhaps due to the recent feature on i-weekly or it was already very popular, it was full when we arrived on a saturday night
we came across it when we had previously dined at Woori Nara several shops down
the korean wave in singapore is evident, with customers waiting for their tables outside both Kim's and Woori Nara, which wasn't the case last time we went
the 11 appetizers, may look wow, though overall was rather average
kimchi pancake
quite crispy, otherwise normal
spicy rice cake
was little sweet and spicy, gravy rather watery
not to boast but feel that my homecooked version is better, at least to my own tastebuds
zha jiang myeong
once again sweet. cooked with the gravy were some radish, potatoes, pork dices
spicy tofu soup
not very spicy nor flavourful
fried pork with rice
came late, only after the waitress realised we still have one more dish
service was rather slow, maybe the servers were new and/or the full house was too hectic
no doubt this restaurant is owned by a korean family and the head chef is the dad, we weren't very impressed with the food and find them average. so we can only conclude that probably we are not used to the authentic korean flavour, some dishes being a tad too sweet to us.
from what we saw on the wall graffiti written by the previous customers, they were happy with the food served there.
