H&W Asawon — Restaurant in Região Imediata de São Paulo

Korean here. Visiting from Los Angeles/New York (both strong Korean food scenes)

I ordered jajangmyun and in short it was good. Authentic, yes. The danmuji (pickled radish) that came with it? Noooo.. noo.. nao bom. It wasn’t bad - it was just wrong

Saw at least two other korean people tables if you need more confirmation

Service was not unfriendly but certainly not friendly either. They sort of just stood there and watched me when I walked in and I just seated myself since the restaurant was empty when I walked in. Also, strange thing: They brought over the food on a tray - no utensils or sides. Server went back to grab a pair of chopsticks and an empty cup (no water jug) - both of which were already set up by the kitchen - while I sat there with my bowl of noodles And then the server went back to pick up the radish and onion. When all of them were ready at the same time and could easily have fit on the tray? Not a complaint but just a strange...

Very nice jajjangmyeon and fried mandu, the place is clean and nice. Right after arrived the waiter brought a side of takuan(yellow radish) and onion with jajjang sauce for dipping. The waiter was very nice and asked if i wanted to charge my phone in the cashier table because the outlet near my table wasn't working. If you're going to eat only the jajjangmyeon it's a nice deal at 26 reais (52 reais if alone) for two people. Small portion of mandu were about 29 reais with pieces. But the side dishes can get a bit expensive if you are not eating...

É um restaurante típico "chines", àlá coreana. Como assim? Pois é. Antigamente, muitos chineses saiam das sua terras natais e iam para terras "longíncuas" para se aventurarem e levavam suas artes culinárias para sobreviver. Uma dessas terrinhas, era a Coréia. E daí. O que isso tem a ver com Asawon? Pois é, a comida que eles servem, é uma comida "chinesa", adaptada aos gostos coreanos. É muito louco isso. Mas é verdade. O prato que os chineses comem é tão diferente, que os próprios chineses não gostam desses pratos. Mas esse prato "jjajangmyun" é o que? Basicamente um macarrão de trigo com um molho a base de soja fermentadíssima (fica com uma cor qse marrom preta) com cheio de legumes e carnes no meio, tudo bem picadinho em cubinhos pequenos. O sabor é perfeito para os coreanos, q amam de paixão (2o prato mais consumido depois do arroz com kimchi) E para alguns "estrangeiros" estranhos, que amam tb, nao se sabe pq. hahaha. Vale a pena experimentar? Vale!!! Pelo menos uma vez na vida!! Daí, se gostar, volta. Se não, teve uma experiência exótica, sabendo da história e da...
