Reviews
This Korean restaurant can be considered a low-key gem at the corner 🇰🇷.
The first-generation owner is Korean, and his wife is Taiwanese. Together, they have been running this authentic Korean restaurant for over 20 years, and now the next generation is also helping out in the store.
Goryeo House, which has been in operation for a long time, might give off an old-fashioned vibe with its somewhat outdated appearance, but I think their food has an authentic Korean flavor.
Upon entering the restaurant, you’ll see a large aquarium filled with dozens of goldfish. There aren’t many seats, and many diners seem to be regulars, enjoying leisurely chats while seated. Their menu offers quite a few items, including set combinations for two.
This time, my friend and I opted for the NT$850 set for two:
✪ Stone Pot Bibimbap (Pork)
✪ Plate Grilled Meat (Pork)
✪ Seafood Pancake
This combination is actually quite filling! I particularly loved their plate grilled meat and seafood pancake. The grilled meat is specially marinated, and when cooked on the plate, it turns out very fragrant and flavorful. The meat juices from the plate also seep into the surrounding hot pot broth, adding a lot of flavor to it. The hot pot ingredients around the grilled meat included all my favorites like bok choy, cabbage, vermicelli, rice cakes, tofu skin, and enoki mushrooms.
I highly recommend the seafood pancake! It truly contains octopus legs, and when eaten hot, it’s not too greasy. I love the thick and soft texture of their pancake, which isn’t overly batter-heavy.
The stone pot bibimbap is a very standard Korean dish that can be mixed with spicy sauce. Those who enjoy a bit more crust on the bottom can mix it more slowly. The portion for two sharing a bowl of stone pot bibimbap is just right!
The restaurant also offers unlimited free bean sprouts soup, and there are five types of side dishes that can also be refilled.
Overall, the dining atmosphere is very relaxed and enjoyable, and they don’t rush customers, allowing you to savor the authentic Korean cuisine in the alley at your leisure! It feels like if the restaurant was renovated or had a better social media presence, it would attract even more customers.
