KOMO Korean Steakhouse — Restaurant in Göteborgs Stad

Update Was here for Korea bbq, definitely worth it. Everyone in my company enjoyed the food and had a great time. The staff were very accommodating to our request. Will definitely go back! Only thing I’d say was missing would be different cuts of meat.

Previous review: Modern restaurant with a touch of traditional Asian elements to it. The music volume at the restaurant was good, they played a lot of Kpop music, so if you’re into that you’ll enjoy it.

The waiter at the entrance was nice and showed my friend around the restaurant and answered all questions we had. Apparently they are opening a K-BBQ in the near future, so definitely looking forward to that. The food came out fast and was warm.

Korean fried chicken sweet and a bit spicy. Crunchy outer layer despite having sauce on it, soft and juicy chicken. With this comes 3 side dishes and rice. I’d definitely say you get more then you pay for. I enjoyed it a lot and would definitely recommend it.

Mandu were crispy, soft and with a hint of kimchi taste. They weren’t spicy and had a mild flavour to them. Again you get 3 side dishes, but this time instead of rice on the side you get miso soup.

Definitely recommend trying this restaurant, the food was good and the portion sizes were also great. I’m definitely going back.

Second time I was here: The appetiser: bulgogi bun and cheese I didn’t like it that much, very sweet. Japchae was definitely my favourite item on the menu absolutely loved it and it was tasty!

Main menu Dak-Gakbi was disappointing, very small rice cakes and you didn’t get that many. Was flavourless and not enjoyable.

Banchan: The kimchi lacked in taste, it had not fermented at all and was just bland. Considering it being a Korean restaurant it’s a disappointment. The pickled cucumber kimchi was nice and tasted a lot better, had a bit more flavour to it. Korean pickled radish was good.

Drinks, the Korean honey yuzu tea was nice and I definitely...

KOMO's hype is just unimaginably false since the service is absolutely pathetic and the food is even worse. They are extremely understaffed, but if that's the case, they should know better about taking more reservations than they can actually handle.

When we arrived, it took 20 minutes before we got seated because the group before us didn't have their table ready (they had also made a reservation). We were a large group, so they had asked us to pre order the food, but it literally took them close to an hour to bring the food out. The drinks order was taken at the restaurant but only after 25 minutes and the order was messed up by the bartender.

When the food finally arrived we all expected it to over shadow the horrible wait but it just got worse. The Bulgogi was extremely bad (I've had it many times in the past and in South Korea too) and looked like dog food. We only got rice with the Bulgogi which otherwise is given with some Gochujang sauce too. The Korean Fried Chicken was alright. The Gochujang sauce on the Korean Fried Chicken was the only good thing in this dish. We ordered coffee and that too, not a surprise, tooo half an hour and when we asked them if they'd be serving it anytime soon, we saw the waiter put in the order then and brought us some very bad coffee.

The atmosphere is quite nice and that was the only take away from our experience here. Unfortunately, I wouldn't recommend this restaurant at all. Hope they turn things around pretty quickly if they want to survive amongst some amazing Asian restaurants in the...

Disappointing Dining Experience

We had been looking forward to dining at this restaurant for a long time, but our visit left us feeling overlooked and ignored.

Although we were seated quickly and given menus and water right away, that was where the attentive service ended. We waited over 20 minutes without anyone coming to take our order. Meanwhile, two or three tables seated after us had already placed theirs. It seemed as though no one was responsible for our section, as multiple servers passed by without acknowledging us. Eventually, we had to stop a waitress ourselves and ask to place our order.

For starters, we ordered corn cheese, which arrived surprisingly fast ,before our drinks had even been served. Unfortunately, it was lukewarm in the middle, and the cheese was not fully melted. By the time we finished the starter, our drinks still had not arrived.

For the main course, we ordered the hot stone ribeye steak and kimchi pork stew. The ribeye steak was enjoyable, but the pork in the kimchi stew had a strange aftertaste and was very dry.

Overall, the experience was disappointing, especially given how much we had been looking forward to it. The lack of attentive service and inconsistent food quality were a...
