I was really happy to find a korean place in Oxford. But Korean food is hard to do.
I had high expectations which was probably my problem.
First, they don't give a bunch of free sides that much Korean places do. They gave us two sides, one weird jelly thing (I wouldn't eat it again if they paid me) and bean sprouts. No Kimchi??? really??
We ordered some BBQ, bimbimbap and Soon Du Bu with kimchee on the side.
The BBQ was good but were pretty small. We ordered a pork belly, that is okay and the Korean short ribs that were better. It didn't come with lettuce so we had to order that too.
The bimbimbap was good and I would order it again, but there aren't many ways you can mess that up.
The Soon Du Bu was okay. It was pretty watery and lacking in some flavor but I still found it comforting to eat.
The Kimchee was bad! Like really really bad, like it left a bitter taste in my mouth instead of a bright vinegar taste. Don't order it.
If we come back, it would most likely be at lunch for their lunch special. It might be better than. read more
