Kogi Bulgogi
We’ve got recommendation from a friend for this restaurant. Friend said that dining here is ‘super sulit’ because of the complimentary foods that is served while waiting for the placed orders. I’ve already tried eating in Yedang, a Korean Restaurant, and I can say that it gave me a good impression about Korean food so my expectation at Kogi was really set so high.
Complimentary Food
We arrived at past 1 in the afternoon but still we were 3rd in the waiting list. We waited for 30 minutes before we we're seated. And while waiting, we ordered the following:
Dulsot Bibimbap (Php 165) – a dish with onions, carrots, bean sprouts and other veggies with egg yolk on top of the rice . It was just okay. Best eaten with Chicken Kalbi to have a better taste.
Sam gyup Sal Ssambap (Php188) – served with rice balls, pork and lettuce. Pork is crispy but bland.
Chicken Kalbi (Php 235) – The best! It’s really flavorful. Glad to have at least 1 food on the table that’s really satisfying. Hehe.
Btw, the complimentary food is few as compared to Yedang. I think the number of complimentary dishes served depends on the number of people on the table.
Food is just so-so. Service? Uhmm, hmmm, hahahaha.. Let’s just say, I didn’t like it. We came late and are both hungry. We waited until those people who came before us were seated. While waiting, a couple arrived and said to the waiter that they are willing to be seated outside. Just after a few minutes, I saw them entering and waiter assisting them. Unfair isn't it? My mood started to change. Minutes passed, our turn came. A table that is good for 2 - yes we’re 2 but the table size is not enough to accommodate all the plates that we have! Wrong move and something will be broken. But I’m still thankful that we are seated near their bar section, the waiter just used the table near the area to put in some of our foods. All saucers from the complimentary set have to be consumed immediately to have some space. Hay, it's a fail. =(
