La Casa Coreana/Hallyeo Sudo — Restaurant in Mexico City

I was shocked when I was told the aperitivo will be served with the main dish. For all the Korean restaurants I’ve been in CDMX, this was the most ridiculous comment ever. Waited 25 mins for literally nothing with my stomach aching and had to ask a silly question and got a silly answer.

I ordered a shrimp soup, they used frozen shrimps, small & unfresh unlike other restaurants I’ve been (a normal Korean restaurant should use fresh shrimp from the big market, I can direct you the way if you ask nicely).

I can 3 times in the past week and it felt like going to your favorite auntie’s house to eat. The food is authentic and the ingredients are good, no shortcuts there or anywhere. The ban chan has good taste and texture and her kimchi is good—for all that you get this place is really cheap, as it’s a lot of time and love to make good banchan. So if you’re looking for the real thing,...
