Seoul Yummy Restaurant at Novena Square2

We've eaten at this restaurant before and at that time it wasn't that memorable. It's been a while since we went back to Square2 and was surprised to see that the they had expanded their restaurant! With that they also expanded their menu - everything on it looked so tempting. The best thing is that they have a set menu for 1 or 2 persons. The one person's one was $16.99++ for freeflow Barley Tea (hot/cold), freeflow side dishes, an appetiser and a main.

I didn't care much for the tea. It didn't taste good at all. If you've never tried, Korean Barley tea is nothing like the Chinese Barley tea we're used to. This one had more of a grassy taste to it that left an unpleasant bitter taste on your tongue.

The freeflow Korean side dishes that came in little dishes were awesome. The menu said 4 free side dishes but they brought out 6 for us to share. We were also expecting each person to have their own side dishes, but maybe due to space constraint they decide to let us just share the side dishes. It doesn't state on the menu that they were freeflow but we asked them. Side dishes consisted of some sweet boiled peanuts, cucumber pickles, kimchi (which toward our 5th helping was really really sour), little sweet spicy anchovies (ikan bilis), yummy cold tofu with a sweet spicy sour dressing on top, and a very bland potato salad. It wasn't that we were being greedy, but the side dishes were yummy so we kept on asking for refills....hehehe.

For the appetisers we ordered the potato pancake and dumplings. Potato pancakes were very nice, dumplings were so-so, kinda like the frozen ones you can buy at the supermarket.


For the mains we ordered Pork Bibimbap and Cold Buckwheat Noodles. I think you can't go wrong with Bibimbap. It was fragrant, tasty and very filling. The Noodles were not too bad either, be nicer if it had a little bit more noodles.




Overall, I would definitely come back to this place again.
