ITAEFONG MODERN KOREAN FOOD BAR — Restaurant in Nuremberg

The good: The menu has a nice selection of Korean and Korean inspired dishes. The seasoning was good and I recommend specially the fried chicken with sweet spicy sauce. A nice surprise was the beverages menu with plenty good options with and without alcohol and the taste of each one we had was really really nice. The decoration and ambiance is also nice in the younger side. The reservation system is really easy, fast and convenient and the prices are really fair. They received cash and card.

The not so good: Maybe is the concept but the latter it gets the louder is the music which made it difficult to talk during dinner. The dessert selection is not great and my matcha brûlée was too firm, not creamy and in the bitter side. I think the service can improve. One waitress was in the rude side and a second one was a bit much so instead of feeling attentive was a bit intrusive because every 15 min was coming and we felt just constantly interrupted.

Extra: This has nothing to do with them but the toilets are in another floor and are kind of public not just for the restaurant.

Final thoughts: I will come back and check more options from their menu. And if you are in downtown is a good Korean...

The atmosphere of the restaurant's cozy - felt especially nice when it was dark out. On one sides of the walls you have a projector playing Kpop music videos during your dining which turns into a little guessing game, where you can guess which one is going to play next based on the intro.

Staff was friendly and always checking up on us.

The drinks were really good though the green one tasted really healthy. The purple drink I especially liked since you could stir a bit and the color changed :).

We ordered the korean fried chicken with honey butter garlic sauce. The chicken was very crispy but the sauce was alright, nothing special. We were really excited about the corndog but ultimately were let down tremendously. It wasn't crispy, mostly just dough, and very small considering the price we paid.

For our main dish we ordered the Jay Jeyuk, all I remember is that it was very spicy and I nearly cried. Don't underestimate the spicy...

We were here as a group of 5 for the Sunday brunch. First off. Everyone. And I mean EVERYONE who works here is incredibly friendly, welcoming and warm. Don’t think I have ever experience such amazing service and friendliness as in this place.

The food was amazing as well. It was a buffet style all you can eat brunch. The variety was wide spread. From summer rolls, to sushi up to Korean fried chicken and Yuzu cheesecake. I tried everything on there was and didn’t find one thing I didn’t like. Everything was warm, fresh and tasted amazing. Wether you eat meat or don’t you find plenty of options no matter your dietary choices.

They also have a live cooking area where the prepare Ramen, Phō and BoaBun Burgers if you ask them. All of those things tasted amazing as well.

A must try for everyone who likes Asian cuisine. Highly recommend and looking forward to the next...
