KO-LA Ebisu — Restaurant in Tokyo

Dissapointing experience here. My girlfriend and I visited Ko-La on a weekend night. Almost every table was occupied. It has a not romantic but energetic atmosphere. We were not impressed by the service and food quality.

Good points: nice interiors staffs are friendly and helpful if you ask for help

Bad points: food is okay at best but priced relatively high our drinks were sour and clearly expired we didn't receive our drinks for twenty minutes we only received two appetizers for over thirty minutes (stopped counting after thirty) we didn't receive the complimentary dish (otoshi) the signature dish, gamjatang, was disappointing. I was expecting a dish with a rich flavor, spicy, and meaty. But what we had, tasted very subtle, not spicy, not rich, soup with no meat around the bones at all. It tasted like food you would be served...

Came here for the hot pot and did not leave disappointed. The カムジャタン is the star of the show. It’s a dish with large pieces of bone in pork that once cooked, just falls off the bone. Add some whole potatoes, lots of vegetables, and some tasty spices and you have an excellent nabe to enjoy. Everything mixed together was perfect and the staff was ready to help. The sides were also good and the tomato kimchi was surprisingly good. You can get noodles at the end to finish up the broth but there was no need as the small size was more than enough for two people. I’d like to try this dish again, so thanks for a great first...

The food overall was delicious. The BBQ meat was tasty but the portions were small, and it came out a little slow. However, recommend getting the kimchi fried rice and the large Nabe pot to share between 4...
