My husband and I have now lived in Amsterdam for 7 months and still have been on the hunt for a good AUTHENTIC Korean restaurant - now we've found it!
Food: We ordered the following:
1) Kimchi Tofu - delicious and very big portion. It contained 8 pieces of tofu and plenty of kimchi and pork
2) Korean Fried Chicken - 8 pieces - it was good and not too greasy
3) Kimchi Jigae - nice, spicy and authentic
4) Kalbi Tang - Was ok, but didn't have the big bones of kalbi
Drinks: We ordered one Korean corn tea (bodeecha) and a glass of soju.
Ambiance: The evening we went it was very loud and "lively". Caveat: We went for dinner on a Friday night where it seemed that it was full of large tables of work people - and when I say work people I mean older Korean men - which means LOTS of soju drinking and very LOUD conversations. It was so loud that I couldn't even speak or hear my husband who was sitting in front of me. We literally had to shout to each other. So you can imagine what the restaurant was like where everyone was shouting. I'm not sure if this place is like this every night or even at lunch. But regardless, you never really go to a Korean restaurant for the "ambiance", you go for the food. And as long as the food was good I'll put up with the noise.
Price: 72.00€ for two people
Service: Very good and friendly. There were two guys and a packed restaurant and we never had to wait for anything.
Would I go back? Absolutely. There's so much more on the menu that I'm dying to try. read more
