Interesting drinks list.
This was really good, tasted nothing like regular soju. It’s reportedly made from cane spirits, maesil (ume), and honey (though it’s not noticeably sweet). Very fruity. My wife doesn’t like soju but she liked this a lot.
The Dokkaebier rice kolsch was good. Reminded me of Beerlao.
Kimchi fried rice was very good.
Whole fried chicken was a bit dry but tasty. Came with daikon pickles and cabbage with mayo and gochujang. I prefer Dan Sung Sa’s version.
Seafood pancake was pretty good, just enough batter to hold it together. I maybe prefer Seoul Gomtang’s version.
I’ll probably go back to try more stuff though I wouldn’t order the whole chicken again.
