Dae Jang Kum Restaurante — Restaurant in Recoleta

Would not go again; absolutely spoiled my favorite soup Yukgaechang for me.

What went well: Friendly staff, fresh fish and seafood (have their own aquariums on display) and Bulgogi was good (much meat and saucy).

What didn’t go well: Yukgaechang is my absolute favorite soup. I’ve tried it probably in 40 restaurants all over the world, also on Korea. This was by far the worst Yukgaechang I’ve had. It had a very strong seafood smell and taste (which I’ve never encountered, since usually one uses the meat broth itself), it lacked salt and included even Champignons and paprika. I could barely eat the meat and left all the broth, which I’ve never done before in any other Korean restaurant. The price was good (7500 Chilean pesos, rice is to be paid extra) but I’d still...

Thanks is place simply awesome. The quality of the food is excellent for the price, the variety is standard, and the service is incredible. The staff is attentive and patient. The food you order allows for refills of sorts (refill on rice, banchan, etc) and the restaurant does not charge extra for them. They always offer complimentary fruit at the end, and the last time we went, there was also coffee. The food portions are medium to large in size, perfect for sharing if you order an appetizer, or taking items home. Also, the place seems to be quite popular with the Argentine-korean tourists; every time I've gone there are several tables with tourists so the flavors have got to be on point. Needless to say, if you like Korean food, this a great...

Well... this is my favorite place, and i eat here regularly.. so i might be a little biased. Ive been here with korean friends who praised the quality of the dishes, so it should be good enough. If you are a risk taker try anything. If not, first try common dishes such as bibimpa or fayeon. While you wait, you get served a lot of tiny dishes called banshan. Think of them like dimsum. Try not to get full on them, as the portions of the mains are big. If you are not sure, ask the waiters. They know almost every single dish. And if you dont want to take risks.. try the sushi. It is awesome (try the spicy roll).

Thats it. Hope to...
