Why oh why?!?! This place used to be my favorite in Frankfurt for Korean food. I recently went back after a Misho dry spell for months. I was so excited to try my beloved bibimbap again as I had even began creating them at home in recent months.
I got there, ordered, and the lady who took my order looked as if someone had killed her dog that morning. She was so miserable. Fortunately, the chef was super nice.
The bibimbap came out looking very different than I was used to. I love that they use seasonal vegetables at places, so it wasn't that that bothered me. It was the fact that I paid nearly 12 Euros for no effing food. It was literally half the portion I usually get. There was no rice even hiding underneath basically. This bibimbap had cucumber, red cabbage, carrot, and just sadly, was lousy. Nothing was pickled properly giving off a powerful taste. I had to ask for loads of kimchi just to get some sort of deliciousness in my mouth right then. My boyfriend ordered a bulgogi bibimbap and was super, super disappointed also.
The chef came up to us and asked how things were and I contemplated lying, but decided to be up front and told him how disappointed we were. He profusely apologized and we went on our way (after paying shit loads for this meal).
I would love to say that I'd go back and give another chance, but Frankfurt has too much to offer for me to ever willingly waste away 30+ Euros on lousy food again. read more
