🇩🇪 Bochum Korean Food Review: Honest Thoughts After a €50 Meal! 🍲

My friend and I recently tried a Korean restaurant in Bochum, spending around €50 for two people. Here’s the full breakdown—what’s worth ordering, what’s just okay, and whether you should visit when craving Korean flavors! 🍱 What We Ordered 1️⃣ Appetizers (4 Small Dishes) 🥢 Highlights: All starters had a distinct sesame oil aroma—nice touch! Verdict: Standard banchan (side dishes), but fresh and flavorful. 2️⃣ Spicy Rice Cakes with Fish Cake (Tteokbokki) 🌶️ Price: €10+ (a bit steep for the portion) Taste: Sweet-spicy sauce was delicious, but the portion was small. Rating: 7/10 (Good flavor, but not enough for the price) 3️⃣ Bibimbap (+€2 for Beef) 🥄 Price: €13.50 + €2 = €15.50 Taste: Decent but not outstanding—missing that crispy rice texture. Rating: 6.5/10 (Wouldn’t reorder) 4️⃣ Army Stew (Budae Jjigae) 🍖 The Good: The broth was tasty—mildly spicy and savory. The Bad: Full of cheap ingredients—canned sausages, spam, and only a few pieces of kimchi/pork. Rice: Came with purple rice, a nice touch! Rating: 6/10 (Broth saved it, but ingredients were disappointing) 💰 Price vs. Portion: Not the Best Deal Total: ~€50 for two Portion Sizes: Smaller than expected—the stew pot was smaller than my hand! Filling?: I left still a bit hungry, and I’m not a big eater. 🌟 The Verdict: Should You Go? ✅ Good for: A light Korean fix if you’re nearby. ❌ Not ideal for: Big appetites or authentic Korean food seekers. 🔍 Best Dish: Tteokbokki sauce (but ask for extra rice cakes!). #BochumEats #KoreanFood #FoodReview #HonestThoughts #NRWFoodie 📍
