Korean Dinner Party Kingly Court

Gorgeous dining experience! 🫶🏽 I came here with 7 friends to celebrate a birthday and we had the loveliest time. The food was excellent and the atmosphere and service were lovely. We were very lucky to be served by Marina, who went above and beyond to take care of our table, and even took some Polaroids of us to take home as a birthday present. So wholesome 🥰 would definitely recommend to a friend!

Note that this review is specifically for the Taco Tuesday bottomless tacos. I thought the quality of the meats was perfectly fine - the beef was tender and fatty, and the chicken was not dry and had a satisfying crunch. However for a Korean fusion restaurant, these tacos severely lacked any Korean influence. The only element that tasted remotely Korean was the small pot of ssamjang sauce served alongside the tacos. They could’ve done much more with the flavouring to really emphasise that this was Korean fusion cuisine. I did like the slaw though - it was crunchy, slightly bitter, and complemented the tacos well. On the other hand, we were perplexed by the aubergine and mushroom filling. The menu listed fried cauliflower, which would’ve made a bit more sense, since a crunchy fried filling would’ve been a nice contrast to the soft flour taco. This filling however, felt completely out of place and didn’t belong in a taco. It was too soft and saucy, the flavours leaned more Mediterranean than Korean, and it didn’t hold up well in a soft flour tortilla - it would’ve been better served over rice. If not fried cauliflower, fried enoki mushrooms would’ve worked well too? Service was good, but nothing exceptional. It wasn’t really an issue to ask for more rounds after finishing the tray. I think with some adjustments, this deal could be worth going for.

Had a lovely lunch - the stone pot veggie and bibimbap special were good! The peppers with cheese as well but the other options felt a bit more exciting and flavorful
