Why eating Korean, when in Spain? Well, cuz where I live there's little to no Asian food and…read moreusually in the bigger European cities you find gems when it comes to food from the far east. Unfortunately the Gayagum, in the center of Madrid was a little disappointing. The squid was clearly frozen before it went into the broth. The Bullgogi, nicely presented by our friendly server, was ok-ish. Appetizer and side-dishes out of the jar, but that's usual and didn't bother too much.

Got some Kalbi (marinated beef short ribs) and some ja Jiang myun (black bean noodles) and they were both delicious. We had the dumpling starters and they were probably better than I get in the US. The ja jiang myun doesn't taste like what you are used to, but was really good. It is spicy though so beware. I kind of want to come back and try some other dishes. If you are in Madrid and are craving Korean food. Check out Maru!

The menu has basic sushi options, a few Japanese dishes, and a myriad of Korean specialties. Service was attentive, though we did have to ask quite a few times for my water glass to be refilled (which brings me to another point, the specialty Korean soup is S-P-I-C-Y - at least it was for my tender palette...). There are greetings scribbled on the walls from previous dinners, which gives a sense of community to the place. I'd recommend it for an easy/cheap dinner or takeout.

Prepare yourself to be amazed! You are in for a superb dining experience, premium quality, and that…read morewill cost you a premium price but you will feel like it was well worth it. What stuck with me was that food is what you'd get in top-notch Michelin-starred restaurants but the atmosphere is far from those aloof feelings typical of those places, on the contrary, it's warm and feels like you're in your casual local bar with your best buddies. What is greater than having 5-star food but being relaxed enough as if you were at a friend's house? The service is attentive and friendly, the servers are patient and professional. They take their time to explain anything you might need and make proper recommendations. The plates are on a smaller size, so if you have a big appetite you will have to order quite a bit, however, every single item was a hit. Each dish is creative, with perfectly combined flavors, nicely balanced, textures on point, and the presentations are stunning. A work of art comes to your table every time. It's difficult to suggest individual dishes because I can say that everything is fabulous but the Ceviche was something supernatural. Don't forget the cocktails! They are another experience in themselves. Same standard of beautiful presentation and great flavor combinations to choose from. This hidden spot deserves more recognition than it has. Hard to sing enough praises for them and I will be thinking about this experience for some time.
