Calm atmosphere at 1pm, but could be abit packed during peak hours. Food portions were generous, even half chicken samgyetang was quite filling, alongside quite a few side dishes (free of charge). However I felt that the samgyetang was too bland, had to add salt to make it taste better, but even then the ginseng taste was lacking. (I've been to Korea a few times, and have had it for a few times, but not an expert on this dish).
Surprise by the number of korean picker, more thab 10 kinds but the taste a bit mild for the Korean picker. The pork belly overcooked. Too dry and hard. I like the pancake.
so lets talk about banchan (korean side dishes).. lets talk about all 13 they serve here!!! not only do they give heaps of variety but the quality is definitely there too! their main dishes here are aiight. nothing too special. their Samgyetang has the rich earthy taste however, me personally, it lacked seasoning (but maybe this is how its meant to be done like in korea?) the highlight of this restaurant is definitely the banchan! order one or two mains (between a group) and then feast on the banchan! generally their serving size of mains is a decent size too! iv been a couple times and ended up over ordering each time
I was overwhelmed by a variety of Korean banchan, again surprisingly each one is delicious. I ate japchae(korean sweet potato noddles), rice cake, kimchi pancake, fresh cabbage kimchi and so many other side dishes... I particularly ordered chungkukjang soup(fermented soybean soup, which is very stronger flavour than denjang soup) and it cooked with fresh tofu with a genuine taste. It seems very popular to local Vietnamese and expats from Asian countries but definitely it is Korean taste, not compromising. The owner and the staffs are kind and nice. They also sell fresh kimchi with variety such as radish kimchi, gatkimchi and cabbage kimchi. The location is on the 2nd floor of M plaza, same building of hard rock cafe. I feel like I will visit Myung ga Korean restaurant very soon. It is not MSG taste so I would love simple nice taste.
Local Korean friend brought me to this place. It is said that the taste of the food here is equally good compared to how they were in Korean. I like the Ginseng Chicken Soup. They serve 1 person portion, but I felt that it's a big portion to be consumed by just 1 person. You can order 1 person portion and share it. The other food I like was the glass noodles with beef. Taste really good. If you are a fan of tendons, do order a plate of beef tendons. It's really soft and tender. Of course all the other kimchi were awesome as well.
