London Ontario | How Did I Just Discover This Gem? 😭

The weather was perfect today! After work, I finally visited Sagi, a restaurant that's been on my list forever. Here's the full review! 🍖 Kalbo Shortribs (Korean BBQ Short Ribs) ⭐⭐⭐🌗 The ribs were decent—something you could make at home—but the real stars were the kimchi and semi-cooked rice. The kimchi was perfectly balanced (not too funky!), and the rice mixed with sesame oil and brown rice had this addictive texture. Started meh, ended obsessed! 🐙 Grilled Octopus ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Octopus lovers, ORDER THIS! Unlike any other version I've tried—mild on its own but elevated by the spicy sauce and mint kimchi. The combo of heat + tang was chef’s kiss. I’d take that kimchi home in bulk! 🍘 Mussels with Rice Crackers ⭐⭐⭐⭐🌗 The rice crackers stole the show—sweet at first, then lemongrass tang, followed by chili warmth. Breaking them into the broth? Next-level goodness! Only flaw: the mussels were slightly overcooked. 🍜 Khao Soi (Thai Curry Noodles) ⭐⭐⭐ Pretty presentation but just okay flavor-wise. The Chinese pickled veggies inside were a nice touch, though! 🍹 Cocktails ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Indigo Gin Lavender Rose Sour: A vibrant purple, lightly sweet-tart sipper (perfect for those who hate boozy drinks). Classic Margarita: Smooth tequila notes—like a "white moonlight" in a glass. Final Thoughts Vibe: Cozy, intimate (great for dates/girls' night—but space is tight!). Service: Attentive and friendly. Must-Order: Octopus, rice crackers, and both cocktails. 📍 Sagi 175 Wortley Rd, London, ON ⏰ Hours: Tue-Wed 5PM-10PM | Thu-Sat 12PM-10PM | Closed Sun-Mon #LondonONFood #CanadaEats #UWOLife #FoodieDiaries
