Il Mee - Wynyard Quarter New Zealand

Came for lunch and decided to come here instead of the other Korean restaurants because it's been there since 1992 (according to the sign).<br/ <br/ It wasn't busy so I was able to get a table and was able to order when I was ready.<br/ <br/ Good yangnyeom fried chicken nibbles. It was sweet but not very spicy but did have good crispness. I was quite disappointed with the seafood pancake. It tasted mostly of the frozen shrimps and the batter was a bit dry. It didn't have the crispness and chewiness I've had before. The bibimnengmyon was really nice. It is a spicy but cold noodle dish with pulled beef and egg. The noodles had a really nice chewiness and mouthfeel. The soup itself wasn't very beefy but went really well with the noodles with the hot mustard served alongside it. I was actually quite surprised how much I enjoyed it.<br/ <br/ It is a nice option for a Korean meal in the city as the prices are quite good with most items under $20.

Tried all on upper queen street, but this one is the best! <br/ Maybe not authethic but cmn the food<br/ is good!!! What else do we need? Staff is very friendly and attentive! Alwaus go there if craving for korean

Very very tasty and yummy. <br/ <br/ I love the korean pork bone soup. Great for any occasion. The meat falls off and is great as a nibble. <br/ <br/ Cold noodles are my wife’s favorite, add some mustard and chop it up. Chewy and yummy as a cold summer snack. <br/ <br/ The bbq dishes are good too. Nothing disappoints. Pretty staff too! Bonus!<br/ <br/ Service: 4/5<br/ Food Quality: 4/5<br/ Food Quantity: 4/5<br/ Presentation: 4/5<br/ Environment: 4/5<br/ Price per person: $20-$25

Pros:<br/ Large serving sizes<br/ Tasty food<br/ Friendly owners<br/ Clean environment<br/ Quick service and food is sizzling when it arrives<br/ Under $15 for a meal and worth it<br/ <br/ Cons:<br/ Next to a bunch of identical restaurants <br/ <br/ Sidenotes:<br/ can be put off sometimes since it seems empty but food is still lit<br/ toilet kinda wack

Food: 4.5/5<br/ Service: 4/5<br/ Overall: 4/5<br/ <br/ Popped into this restaurant at a random time 3pm ish and since I wanted some food with soup but not spicy, I chose 콩나물 해장국. Although it’s called hangover soup, it doesn’t mean that you only eat it after hangover. Soup is not spicy and packed with bean sprouts, squid and beef. The set came with a raw egg for you to crack it and put it in the soup while the soup was still piping hot. Seriously the soup was really hearty and not spicy so kids can also eat this. Surprisingly there were lots of squid in the soup. Just think that the serving of the side dishes was a bit small but the soup itself was a big serving.
