Found the restaurant by accident while looking for a nearby cafe and it looked promising with the reviews. We ordered the spicy fried chicken as the starter and it was good, although I haven’t had this sauce on Korean fried chicken before (my partner said it reminds him of the sauce used for tteok-kkochi). The batter style is also different from usual Korean fried chicken, feels more Italian-fried style. For the main, we both ordered the chil-hyang-gye. We liked it overall but it reminded me more of Chinese soups than Korean. Also wished there was more broth, we thought it would be similar amount to usual Korean soup dishes, and it was too salty. There were microgreens on top as well. We got the bingsu and soy tiramisu for dessert. The bingsu fell a little flat as the red bean used is the drier one typically use for other desserts and the shaved ice isn’t that milky. The tiramisu was so good! It didn’t have any injeolmi taste but we thoroughly enjoyed it. Not sure if there is much difference from the regular tiramisu that is on the menu apart from the powder on top. Overall, enjoyed the meal as a little break from back to back heavier French food and it felt more nutritious. Wouldn’t call the dishes authentically Korean but I can see how it would work for the taste palettes in the region.
Although it's advertised as a Korean restaurant, the food strangely tasted like the kind of Korean food you'd find in Taiwan. The grilled meat was pretty good, but the mango shaved ice was just okay. I can understand that, considering it uses European mangoes, haha.
The Korean food is excellent from appetizer to dessert, the staff is very welcoming, the place is charming... Their spicy fried chicken is exceptional! Absolutely perfect.
