Valencia La tuala de yoon

🍢 Cozy Korean Home Cooking in Valencia: A Long-Awaited Gem After months of wanting to visit (missed them last summer during their break!), I finally made it—thanks to a friend who joined me for the feast. This tiny spot feels like a family kitchen: warm, intimate, and run by a Korean chef (the owner) and her Spanish husband, who greets guests with endless warmth. By the end, they even treated us to a refreshing yuzu tea—perfect for cutting through the richness. 🌟 The Standouts Korean Spicy Rice Cakes (Tteokbokki) 🍢 My absolute favorite. The sauce is addictive—sweet, spicy, and glossy, coating the chewy rice cakes perfectly. I wanted to order a second serving it was so good. A must for tteokbokki lovers. Cheese Boneless Chicken 🧀 Juicy chicken thighs smothered in melted cheese—creamy, savory, and slightly salty. Wrap it in fresh lettuce for a balance of textures. Pure comfort food. Matcha Mousse 🍵 A star dessert. Rich matcha flavor without the bitterness, smooth and not too sweet. It’s the only dessert on offer, but you won’t need more—this one’s enough. 😊 Solid but Not Spectacular Set Menu Small Plates: The kimchi pancake was decent (crispy edges, tangy filling), but the dried fish with garlic chives felt forgettable. They’re fine as starters, but the main dishes steal the show. Tallarines Boniato 🍜 Sweet potato glass noodles in a mild, sweet broth. It’s hearty with plenty of toppings, but the sweet-savory combo didn’t click for me. Friends who tried the bibimbap said it was “just okay”—stick to the chicken or spicy pork mains instead. 💡 Details Price: ~€20 per person. The €28 set menu (for two) includes 3 small plates + 1 main—great value. Hours: Only open Fri–Sun (book ahead!). Vibe: Tiny, homey, with personal service that makes you feel like a guest, not a customer. Having tried Yukmi and Jalasan, this is my top pick for Korean food in Valencia. It’s not “life-changing,” but it’s authentic, flavorful, and full of heart. Next up: their spicy grilled meat. 📍 Carrer del Dr. Serrano, 19, 46006 València #ValenciaKoreanFood #HomeCookingVibes #FoodieFinds
