Korean Korner — Restaurant in Montpellier

The establishment: The ambience is nice, good lighting, it was clean and somewhat spacious. Not really something to highlight but overall just great.

The service: The girl on the counter who took our order was nice and spoke English, she was patient and efficient. Nothing to highlight as well, and nothing to complain about.

The food: For Starters we ordered a portion of mandu and one portion of karagge. The mandu was tasteless pretty much, no flavor to it. And the karagge was too spicy to handle, we normally like spicy food, but the chicken was swimming in a pool of hot sauce. Then for main course, we ordered one seafood bibimbap and one spicy shrimp rice. The seafood bibimbap was just awful, there was no seasoning to the vegetables, and the seafood was definitely not enough and it also wasn't seasoned at all, the amount of rice didn't make the dish better. The spicy shrimp rice was also very spicy, but it held a little more flavor than the seafood bibimbap, though it was also lacking the star of the dish, the shrimp, there were only like 3 shrimps in the plate, there was also not enough rice compared to the other plates.

Conclusions: The places is nice, the price is considerable to the food that you get, but it lacks quality control and consistency in the making of the dishes. There are better restaurants around the area that...

The Cup was a big disappointment. We ordered two plates and the ingredients were cold on top of hot rice. The dish arrived early, 10 minutes before it suggested. How could the meat and vegetables be cold? One answer, the staff used old unused ingredients from earlier to complete their first orders of the evening I'm guessing. Poor management and extremely poor presentation and quality. The dish was 95 percent rice and it was obvious that this restaurant doesn't provide good food and in attempt to make money serves overpriced disproportionned rice dishes. This was an absolute disgrace to Korean food. We wanted to eat pitaya but settled for the cup. ...

Service: Correct. Nothing to complain about really. Staff smiles and is genuine. … I take it back they started yelling to loudly in the kitchen.

Place: to improve. Nothing stands out to remember.

Food: #12 Korean Bibimbap is NOT a Korean or bibimbap at all. Sorry. #10 Honey Chicken Rice. Idk where’s the honey part but it was a bit too salty. #2 Karage chicken was a bit burned but still juicy inside.

Pricing: considering the food quality, portions and place I’d say it’s a bit overpriced for what you get.

Conclusion: If you’re really hungry and nothing else is available or you don’t want to wait, it’s okay to eat here. Though there’s better places...
