SEOULFUL TABLE — Restaurant in Christchurch

New Asian express eatery which is just opened called Happy Kitchen (大茶饭). Quite nice and enjoyable 😋. We had sweet and sour pork, black pepper chicken, Thai chilli chicken and big pork chop, and Hong Kong milk tea. All the dishes have its own unique taste. There is not much choices tho, my guess is about 15 dishes by skimming through the menu. However, most dishes can be served with either rice or noodle (I recommend you choose rice, it tastes better). Very clean and tidy, and welcoming environment. Lots of old Hong Kong movie posters, predominantly 80s and 90s. There are multiple dining booth seating, and quite comfy too (I guess they [re]use previous business's furniture, Pepe to their advantage). They accept Eftpos and credit card payments. Plenty of parking at the back of the building.

Food: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ out of 5. Marvellous. It is just like a home cooked meal. Ambience: ⭐⭐⭐ out of 5. I enjoyed the hospitality, very friendly owners. Price: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ out of 5. Reasonably priced with the food comes with average portion size.

Would I go...

I recently visited this Korean restaurant and had an exceptional experience. The place is spotlessly clean and well-maintained, creating a pleasant dining environment. The kimbap was absolutely delicious, with fresh ingredients and perfectly seasoned rice. The Bulgogi Kimbap and Chicken Kimbap were especially noteworthy, as they were made fresh to order and tasted incredibly delicious.

In addition to the kimbap, I also tried the fried chicken, and it was fantastic. Crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and seasoned to perfection—definitely a must-try!

What really stood out to me was the friendly and attentive staff. They were quick to greet us, and their service was prompt and efficient throughout our meal. They went out of their way to ensure we had everything we needed, making the experience even more enjoyable.

Overall, I highly recommend this kimbap restaurant for anyone looking for a great meal in a welcoming atmosphere. I will definitely...

Chicken tasted delightful, the soft,tender and juicy texture melted into my taste buds and the crispy edges crunched and crumbled as my jaw dismantled the chicken. Truely a gift sent by god the delicate, delectable and delicious chicken left me speechless.

As I walked through the gateway to this magnificent korean eatery, the jaw dropping aroma of the chicken whiffed past my nose and left me flabbergasted. I have never smelt anything thing like it before. I knew i had to try it. As i walked up the register to place my order i noticed the simplicity of the menu as it had a minimalistic design and it was very captivating. My eyes were drawn to what i came for. The chicken. I was longing for this moment. I couldnt contain my inner no more as the aroma the chicken...
