The meal options are rich, including various tofu hot pots, half portions of steak, stone pot bibimbap, mini pancakes, and steamed egg soup. The tofu hot pot has a rich broth and abundant ingredients, but the value for money of the two-person set is slightly low, with portions being a bit small.
The restaurant decor is comfortable, the lighting is warm, and the seating arrangement is spacious, creating a pleasant dining atmosphere.
The service is attentive, offering free side dishes, and ordering is convenient with QR code. Additionally, reservation times can be adjusted flexibly.
A few days ago, I found out there were still spots available for online reservations, and the Google reviews looked good, so I immediately made a booking! (You can use inline booking.)
On that day, because my class was delayed, I ended up changing our reservation time over the phone twice to avoid being late.
As soon as we arrived at the entrance, we saw the shop's sign. The decor outside looked very comfortable, and the choice of lighting gave a warm feeling. Our reservation for two was arranged at a table for four, and it felt really comfy! (Seeing the four-person arrangement instantly scored points!)
After we were seated, we were served three plates of Korean side dishes, all of which can be refilled for free (I love Korean side dishes!). My favorite was the pomelo radish; it was refreshing and not too sour!
Ordering inside the restaurant is done directly via a QR code. We both wanted to eat everything. After looking around, we finally ordered the couple's set menu (I was worried that the portions would be too much and we couldn't finish, but later realized I was just worried for nothing).
The price for the couple's set menu is 1520.
Set Menu Item 1: Tofu Hotpot
There are so many options for the tofu hotpot! We were confused and didn't know which one to choose. They have a regular tofu hotpot (which can include vegetables, beef, pork, or seafood), kimchi cheese series, meat paired with seafood tofu hotpot, as well as pumpkin tofu hotpot, curry tofu hotpot, and tomato series tofu hotpot.
Set Menu Item 2: Half a Beef Ribeye Steak
Set Menu Item 3: Stone Pot Bibimbap (vegetable, beef, or pork options)
Set Menu Item 4: Mini Oyster Chives Pancake or Mini Kimchi Pancake
Set Menu Item 5: Steamed Egg Soup (regular steamed egg soup, cheese steamed egg soup, shrimp roe steamed egg soup, Korean crab meat steamed egg soup)
Set Menu Item 6: Two Drinks (Coke, Sprite, black tea, green tea, chamomile tea, mint tea, pear juice, peach juice, grape juice, plum juice, pear soda, watermelon soda, plum soda, melon soda, American coffee, latte)
The tofu hotpot was not too salty, and it had a lot of ingredients! (Full of tofu—there was also a generous portion of meat!) The rich broth made me sneak a few sips!
As for the beef ribeye, it was indeed half a portion, and the meat was tender with just the right texture; it tasted delicious (but half a portion really did feel a bit small...).
The mini kimchi pancake was really tiny, but the pancake skin was very aromatic and delicious (it's a thicker type of pancake). Later, while chatting, I forgot to finish it first. It was still really tasty even after it cooled down.
What I love most about Korean cuisine is the steamed egg soup! I always have to order it whenever I go to Korea or eat Korean food! This time, I ordered the one with shrimp roe, which greatly enhanced the texture and richness. The steamed egg itself was still very fluffy and smooth (please be careful! It's very hot!).
As for the drinks, I wonder if it's trendy now: they just give you a pull-tab can beverage along with a cup, and you can pour it yourself.
Overall, the meal was not bad, but I felt the value of the couple's set menu wasn’t very high...
Splitting the cost, it comes out to about 800 per person, but the portions felt a bit small (if you have someone who eats a lot, they might not feel full).
Maybe in the future, I could try ordering individual dishes to get normal portion sizes; the price might not differ too much in the end?

A Korean restaurant with exquisite interior decor 🇰🇷🦄🦋
After watching "Chef in Black and White," I really craved Korean food! I found this tofu stew I had a long time ago to satisfy my craving. ☺️
I booked a table in advance via Inline. The seating area they arranged was quite spacious and the environment very bright.
Once seated, they served three side dishes: Korean kimchi, golden seaweed strips, and yuzu-scented radish.
All were delicious and flavorful! My favorite was the kimchi, and you can get endless refills for free.

Dishes ordered
🐂 Beef Tofu Stew ($330):
It was still boiling when served! The red broth makes it particularly appetizing.
The tofu stew here is special as it includes soy milk, making the broth richer and adding a hint of soybean aroma.
There aren’t many ingredients in the tofu stew, mainly a lot of tofu along with the meat and egg.
🐖 Spicy Stir-fried Pork ($260):
The meat is from a chewier part with some tendons that take longer to chew (I love it 😜).
The spicy sauce has a sweet base taste, and there seems to be some sesame oil in the seasoning, which is very fragrant!
Paired with the seaweed on top and the fried crispy onions, the flavors are very much to my liking! Highly recommended dish 😚
🍄
Would I revisit: Yes!
Love the tofu stew broth. A pretty reliable place for Korean food with good flavors!
