The overall taste is good, I like it
đ 650 Yates St, Victoria, BC V8W 1L3 This Korean restaurant is in Victoria Downtown, right across from the Dollarama on Douglas. The place is pretty spacious with roomy seats, but the vibe? Super dimly litâlike, intentionally dark. Most servers are Korean girls, and theyâre all so nice! Theyâre open late till 12 AM too, which is handy. The foodâs solid overallâI really like it here. â Corn Cheese đ°13 My must-order every timeâhot plate creamy cheese corn! The ingredients are simple: just corn, cheese, and a sprinkle of green onion on top. The portion isnât huge, just a thin layer of cheesy corn, but itâs so good. They use sweet, crisp fruit corn, and the cheese has mayo mixed in, which makes it extra sweet and creamy. You gotta stir it up right when it arrives, thoughâotherwise the scorching hot plate will burn the bottom! đ§đ˝ â Skewers Combo đ°24 A platter of skewers with three different kindsâall pretty good! Theyâre all brushed with sweet chili sauce, so the seasoningâs the same. Each skewer has three pieces, and when we three shared, we just pulled all the bits off and passed around the sticksâsilly but fun! đ From left to right: First two skewers: rice cakes with sausage. The rice cakes are just the right textureâchewy but not hardâand the sausage isnât all starchâthereâs actual meat, and itâs juicy! Next two: Korean sweet chili fried chicken. The batterâs a bit thick, but itâs fried super wellâcrunchy through and through. Last two: fried shrimp cakes. These are just okay. The batterâs a bit powdery, and the shrimp doesnât taste freshâno chew, just soft. Theyâre only saved by the sweet chili sauce on top. â Ojingeo-Bokkeum đ°19 Spicy stir-fried squid with veggiesâtotal letdown. Thereâs barely any squid, and whatâs there is tough and chewy, not even seasoned. The flavorâs just soybean paste plus chili sauceâboring spice, no depth, and it leaves a weird stinging feeling on your tongue. The veggies are just shredded cabbage, probably tossed on after the squid was done, so theyâre not too spicyâcrisp and fresh, at least. 𼏠â Army Soup đ°33 Delicious budae jjigae! Itâs not too salty, and itâs packed with stuffâall the classic army soup bits: cabbage, tofu, hot dogs, spam, fish cakes, instant noodles, rice cakes⌠you name it. Itâs a little different every time, probably depending on what the kitchen has in stock. Let it simmer on the small stove for a bit after itâs servedâeverything soaks up the flavor, and even if you cook it longer, it doesnât get messy or burn. Perfect! đĽ #Canada #CanadaFood #VancouverIsland #Victoria #Foodie #LifeSnippets #FoodTour #MyDailyLife
