Went with my family last weekend. The drawback of dining in this OISO branch is that you can only refill the ban chan (side dishes) ONCE, which is absurd as the beauty of dining in a Korean restaurant is their unlimited refill of side dishes. The amount of each side dish served was about a spoonful (which I totally understand as they want to prevent wastage). But, LIMITING customer to refill the side dishes ONCE (cheap side dishes were served by the way - i.e., bean sprout, spinach & kimchi.. not even anchovies) is really a put-off as the meal is not cheap at all! :) Rice didn't taste like authentic Korean rice. Will NOT RETURN to this branch again.

If you're looking to try out OISO, I would advise you to visit other OISO branches (the one in The Curve or The Sphere) which they offered unlimited refill of side dishes during my visits (they served anchovies as one of their side dishes) :) Food quality & ventilation in The Curve and The Sphere are way better than this branch as well.

If you crave no-frills Korean food, this is one good place to go to. This is a chain restaurant but I have only been to this outlet and any chance I have, I will dine here. I understand their ingredients are halal and there's plenty of Malay clientele frequenting this place. You might also find the motherly ajumma (아줌마) or "auntie" who is probably the mom of this outlet's owner, who often helps around the restaurant and you might chance on her when she refills your banchan (반찬) or side dishes. That really adds to the homely kind of feeling when you get that kind of love. My personal favourite is always the janchi kuksu (잔치국수), traditionally a hearty bowl of wheat noodles in anchovy broth (maybe even konbu) with seaweed, generous amounts of zucchini and clams. I also recommend their saba set, beautifully grilled mackerel (really!) that goes well with rice, and their kimchi steamboat (dinner and weekends only). Please try the saba and you will know what I mean. For the reasonable price they are charging, it's worth it.
