Not only is it my first day back living on the glorious Gloucester Road after a 9 month hiatus, but I finally got round to trying Dain Korea, a new(ish) Korean restaurant just up from the arches. From the outside I'll be honest, it looks a bit tacky. It certainly doesn't look less than 12 months old, which it is. But it looks interesting, which is why I'd been looking forward to coming. Inside was a bit of a surprise. There was the expected plain tables with chop sticks, but with a wooden, thatched style hut over the counter. It didn't really fit, but I loved it for its character. It was pretty funny! On to the food: very good! Unfortunately I don't know much about Korean food. Bristol has some superb Asian restaurants, but we're not quite as developed at London or Birmingham - so Korean food is something of a welcomed new coming. That said, i thoroughly enjoyed the noodles. They were very wet but with tons of flavour. They actually brought me out a little plate of pickled vegetables and a small plate of yellow beans to start and the noodles came with a delicious Miso soup. The miso was darker than any I have had before and probably tastier than any other as well. This is a great little spot. Not that it needs to be plush to be good, but it a little polish around the edges and this place would be great to eat in as well. I'll be back (no Arnold Schwarzenegger voice attached here)

Wow! From the yelp reviews I'd read over the last few weeks, I was expecting a good lunch from Sky…read moreKong Kong, but I wasn't it to be this good! I have tried to get into SKK for lunch a few times over the the last couple of weeks, but they had sold out of everything every time I tried. So even after a big breakfast, I decided to head down early to avoid disappointment. Now, from the outside, Sky Kong Kong doesn't look that appealing. The sign above the door looks like my 2 year old nephew did it with some crayons, but I really like it. I like being unenthused walking into a restaurant and then blown away by the time I walk out. Inside can only be summed up as quirky. There are 3 long tables with around 10 chairs on each and a few books about Asian food and art. It looks as if its been put together in a few hours, and it probably was. But again, I really like it. It works! Now onto the food: wow! They have a two course bento menu that changes daily and today it started with a tomatoes an cherry dish. Unfortunately I didn't get all the details of this dish, but essentially it was sliced tomatoes, cherries and a delicious olive oil dressing. It was really refreshing and for somebody that doesn't love tomatoes, I demolished it! Unfortunately, but in true SKK fashion, they had run out of chicken for the main. So I had pan seared salmon instead: oh, go on then ;) That came with a courgette & parmesan pancake, cabbage with chorizo, wild rice and another cabbage dish. It was seriously good. For £6.50 it was amazing! This is definitely a five star lunch if ever I've had one!

Lovely restaurant on Gloucester Road. We found out about this place through a korean supermarket…read moreowner who recommended this place. I think this place is owned by a Persian/korean family and instead of going fusion they decided to serve authentic Korean and Persian dishes. The place is very cute with limited seating (about 30-32 people) and it gets full quick so reservation is a must. We ordered Pajeon, Kalguksu and jambbong. Pajeon had plenty of seafood and was crispy on the outside. Both jambbong and kalguksu were made authentic ways but the noodle for jambbong was thicker than usual which worked pretty well. I saw other people ordering kalbi/bulgogi of some sort which was served on a hot stone grill with plenty of lettuce leaves to make wraps with. Overall the service was great with very friendly staff. I ordered Persian tea with dates before meal (I think I was supposed to order it after meal) and the friendly waiter told me how he used to drink it in Persia! I haven't tried any Persian dishes to comment on them but I felt that most people come here for korean food as most of the main dishes are korean with about 4-5 Persian main dishes. They had a lot of interesting Persian starters though which I hope to try on my next visit.

My partner and I went for a set meal for 2 which was enough for 4 people to share with extra. We ordered extra fish to BBQ and a couple of side dishes. The portions are huge and great value for money. The hot plate on the middle of your table makes it a very fun and sociable experience. The service is fast and helpful if you are unsure of what each meal is. Can't wait to return with friends to share the experience.

I was honestly surprised when I found an actually good Korean restaurant in Cardiff as Korean food isn't typically one of the more well-known or popular Asian cuisines. However, if you're an adventurous eater or someone who's tried Korean food elsewhere and missing it (like myself), Kimchi is perfect! As I haven't been inside the restaurant, I can't speak much for the atmosphere or the customer service. The only thing notable about the customer service is that the delivery arrived perfectly on time and the driver was very polite and courteous. Aside from that, the main thing I care about the food and it was great! I highly recommend their bento boxes. At just over £11, it's actually a surprisingly decent value for money as the portion sizes are HUGE and extremely filling. Your choice of meat came with Korean dumplings, seaweed soup, kimchi, rice, and lovely Korean pancakes. We'd definitely order from here again or even stop by the actual restaurant if we're the area. A definite surprising find to see GREAT Korean food in Cardiff!

I'm not a big fan of Chinese food and assumed Korean cuisine would be similar. I was wrong!!! I hesitantly ordered the bibimbap and enjoyed every bite. It wasn't greasy at all, and felt pretty healthy to eat, and it was super-tasty, with just the right amount of spicy kick. The prices were really fair aswell. Consider me a convert to Korean cuisine!

Have been waiting for a Korean restaurant for ages in Cheltenham. This one doesn't disappoint. If…read moreyou're new to Korean cuisine, try a bibimbap, a rice dish in a hot stone bowl (dolsot) with a variety of toppings, all with vegetables, gochujang sauce, and an egg on top. All bibimbaps come with miso soup. They will do it without the egg too which probably makes it vegan (but check with them). Many vegetarian options, but watch out for the bonito (fish) flakes on a couple of items listed as vegetarian. There are Korean BBQ options here too if you're more the carnivore type! I'd recommend the deep fried seaweed wrapped rice noodle starter if you're not sure what to try. Mains are between about £6 and £11.

As for the grill, I waited for our garlic, witch complement the meat,until we finished two dishes. And we received cold dish starter that we did not order, I assumed it should be a free gift(this case for most Korean restaurants). The waitress questioned me while we were eating, and took it back. The entire meal is not worth the money.

She asked me a series of questions to see what dishes I might like. She helped me pick a starter and some side dishes. I am a massive fan of Bulgogi, which is why I came here. She recommended that I try the Bulgogi barbeque style. Korean Grill refers to the Korean method of grilling beef, pork, chicken, or other types of meats and vegetables. The meat is grilled right at you table. They apparently use the latest technology grills, which is an electric bio ceramic table barbeque which retains the taste, but at the same time, drains the fats and extra oil out of the meat. With my Bulgogi barbeque, the matron recommended that I also ordered the Sangchoo & Par moochim (lettuce and seasoned spring onions), pajori (spicy scallion, spring onion salad) and ssamjang (a spicy paste made of soy bean paste mixed with chili paste). The the traditional Korean way of consuming BBQ is to wrap the a slice of the meat, vegetables, a dab of chili paste sauce, rice with lettuce and immediately eat with your hands, in one bite the matron advised me. The Korean Grill offers over 60 dishes, inluding 13 side dishes. They also do fresh Kimchi, which has officially been announced as one of top 5 world's healthiest foods. The next time I am in Bournemouth, I will definitely visit the Korean Grill again. It's a real gem.
