Quick Review: That new Korean Restaurant called Seoul Kitchen

It is all because of this Instagram review that we got curious about Seoul Kitchen:

Kidding!

But finally, last night  I had that impromptu dinner-coffee date with Aya, Eisen and Frankie. We went to Seoul Kitchen, a new Korean Restaurant located at F.O.Santos. 

 

I love the cute interiors, the on-pupose-mismatched-chairs, the cozy, private feel.

Aya was already telling us her disclaimer because I keep quoting her instagram review that got us all here in the first place. :) So, let the ordering begin!

I like the cute details on the utensils:

And finally, I ordered what Aya recommended. The soy garlic chicken (Php 115): 

Honestly, I find the chicken too dry, that I requested for an extra sauce for the chicken.

When I called the lady to ask for it if there is a possibility to ask for extra sauce, she started shaking her head (like as if it's in a semi-frantic way) "NO". She said they don't do that and they only have chili sauce (WTF?!)

All this while standing from the counter and did not go to our table.  Rating for Ate's customer service? 2 out of 5.

Eisen ordered the Bibimbap for Php 140. He's not impressed either. (And considering we are both hungry because we made sure to get the full experience of this resto.)

While Frankie ordered the... Beef Bulgogi (Php155). As per Frankie, it is acceptable as food. But then, nothing spectacular.

And also this funny-sounding dish: Lappoki. (Too spicy for my taste though). It's like pancit canton, with a pasta like material topped with cheese that should've been placed on a hamburger. All that while those noodles are swimming in chili sauce.

After we sat down, we got engrossed so much in catching up that I did not really bothered so much about blogging, and because there wasn't much raving about the food, I tell you. I also did not bother taking more photos, but here's a cute blurred photo of us courtesy of Frankie:

BUT STILL, Thank you AYA for the instagram post, at least we experienced something new! Keri na yan, teh!  :)

Now, for the Quick review:

Place: F.O. Santos Corner

Price: A little expensive compared to the regular affordable price range of elbi standards. BUT, the serving size is good enough.  (size-wise)

Purchase again?

Maybe. I have a very simple taste palette but I was not impressed. The place just looks too cute to pass up. But I prefer the chicken of Spice Jar compared to this, plus it's more affordable. Spice jar's just got to do something with it's ambiance and facilities.
