Gaon Restaurant — Restaurant in Las Condes

We visited this restaurant on January 11, but to our surprise, it was closed. There was no mention of this on Google Maps or their website. After calling and texting, we finally received a reply stating that they would be closed until January 13. On that day, we messaged to make a reservation for January 14, but received a response saying the restaurant would be closed. This situation seems very strange and annoying to say the least. If this were in Korea, they would likely be out of business by now. Is it really so difficult to update the website, Google Maps, and social media to inform customers about closures, so they don't arrive only to find the restaurant closed and have their...

I’m a korean food big fan and it’s the first time I come to have dinner at Gaon. To be frank, it’s very disappointed experience for me… First of all, when we went in the restaurant, there’s no one to greet us at the door while the restaurant wasn’t full of customers at that time. Secondly, when we ask for more Kimchi (just a little bit kimchi we’ve been given), the waiter told us that we could only refill once, if we wanted more, they needed to charge for it, which’s really strange for me, because it’s something that usually can be refill without limit. Thirdly, the waiter seemed to be not so patient to us at all. Not so comfortable dinner time...

Decidimos con mi pareja probar algo diferente asi que fuimos a cenar a Gaon. Probamos Dak Galbi, que es pollo salteado con verdura y factura de arroz, con salsa picante. Es para dos personas -como casi todos los platos de su carta- por $28.000. También probamos el Sanwoo Bokumbap, que es un arroz salteado con camarones, verduras y huevo frito -también para 2p por $11.000. Para tomar probamos dos soyu de sabores -frutilla y manzana-, que es un licor a base de arroz de 14% alc. Te traen la botellita verde con un vasito pequeño tipo dedal (shot). Curioso trago, aunque su saborización se sintió química y artificial. Tiene en su salón principal unos quemadores vericales que bajan del techo, y se usan en algunos platos, muy curioso. La atención buena, el ambiente -como era de esperarse- es muy oriental y hay bastante presencia de orientales en su concurrencia.

Me gustó? No tanto la verdad. No encontré en su sazón los sabores que del paladar migran a quedarse en la memoria. A ambos nos cayó pesada la comida. Mención aparte que todo viene porcionado para dos personas. Acaso por la usanza coreana al compartir la mesa? Quizá.

Volvería? No,...
