This Korean restaurant is located in Jordan, but also having another branch in Wanchai. Coming to the original one on the Kowloon side, we were fortunate that we came early and also made reservations as the restaurant is quite small and already full of customers.
Seated at a small table, the environment cannot be called comfortable, with the space very cramped and everyone squeezing on each other. The restaurant is famous for its raw crab but since my wife didn't eat those we just went for the traditional dishes.
The first is Heamul-Sundubu Jjigae, or Seafood Tofu Spicy Soup. Served with a bowl of rice, the soup is very tasty, rich with flavors and having the right level of spiciness that you would feel the heat, causing you to sweat, yet would not drive you crazy. The tofu is silky soft, and there are plenty of seafood like clam, squid, shrimp and scallops, along with an egg. There are also enokitake, cabbage, onion and zucchini which made the soup filling and would be a good main dish for most people already. A good start.
The next is Hhaemul-Pajeon, or Seafood Pancake. Fairly large in size, it is a bit too much for two person. The pancake is pan-fried nicely, crispy on the side while still keeping the chewy texture of the dough in the middle. The seafood are similar to what is in the spicy soup, but there are also a large amount of spring onion, adding to the fragrance. Dipping into the special sauce enhances the overall flavors. Another nice dish, but comparatively this one is less impressive than the soup.
The third dish is Cheolpan-Jeyuk, or Spicy Pork on Hot Plate. This one is served on a sizzling hot plate, with the shredded pieces of pork mixed with spicy sauce and onion, sprinkled with sesame. Despite the color, it is not spicy at all. The meat is moist and tender on texture, and is another good dish to serve with rice which is also included, along with a bowl of seaweed soup. Among the three dishes ordered, this one I like the most.
Another point to note is that the kimchi is also great in taste, and while the place is not comfortable, the food taste well and authentic. The price is also very reasonable, with the three dishes plus a can of coke costing $299. No wonder there are so many customers and by the time we leave there is a queue waiting outside.
