SamWon House - Setiabudi One

Not really delicious as expected...

Gak pernah mengecewakan setiap makan di samwon dan selalu surprise dengan rasanya, biasanya gue makan ayce-nya tapi hari ini gue coba main menu yang jadi andalan mereka dan yes rasanya bisa dibandingkan dengan yang di negara aslinya terutama untuk samgyetang-nya yang favorite.

GREAT DEAL FOR A KOREAN RESTAURANT (IF YOU USE PROMOS) Biteorbye? Bite. Why you will love it ❤ 1. The taste of the food is more on the subtle taste, not too bold, here is what I ordered: -Nakji Bokkeum is a treat for the eyes and the tummy. Always nice seeing hotplate sizzling. Portion is quite small considering the price. They have more vegetables compared to the octopus. Somehow expected a more "in your face kind of flavour”, this is not as spicy as it looks. Good thing is, this comes with rice. -Japchae is the best dish of the night. The noodle texture is great, and it highlights the savoury flavour. I like the noodle to beef/vegetable ratio here, they have more noodles which I prefer. I think if I visit SamWon House again, it’s because of Japchae and because I have not tried their Korean Barbeque yet. -Sundubu Jjiggae has more vegetables and tofu than seafood. It looks super spicy, but it’s not. Taste is actually on the subtle side, I prefer my soup a bit bold in flavour. -Tteokbokki Cheese Odeng/Fish Cake’s portion is quite generous. But I prefer my Tteokbokki with a bolder flavour and a thicker broth. Though great thing is cheese is quite plenty. 2. Ambience is nice and cozy, really reminds you that you are indeed in a Korean restaurant. 3. They have free banchan refills and free ocha drinks included as part of your meal. 4. Fast and attentive service. What could be improved 🙏 1. This is a matter of preference. I prefer the food that is more on the bolder side especially for Korean food, this place has a more subtle flavour. 2. Tteokbokki is overcooked, I think a chewy texture but not too overcooked is preferable. 3. While the restaurant normal price is quite expensive, but if you use promos available it becomes a really good deal. I only spent 205K for four people, with four main dishes. Great value for money, will come back.

Resto korea yang paling rekomendasi pelayanannya ramah dan rasanya enak banget, paling favorit aneka daging grill nya, dan bisa juga dapet free soju melon dengan syarat dan ketentuan khusus

the place was a lil dim, the food just so so, or maybe korean food just not our first choice.. will we come back to this place? nope, still a lot of other choices with the same price
