Korea House at Killiney Road

PC Saturday, April 10, 2021

Korea House is a family based authentic Korean restaurant along 87 Killiney Road. The rest is a small and cosy, resembling some of the family restaurants we see in Seoul. The restaurant owner is a friendly Korean lady who serves the customers with great smile and patience. Surprisingly, she speaks quite good English too.

The restaurant was offering dinner promo set at $9.90 and all set comes with 8 delicious small sides, ranging from kimchi, pickled cucumber to marinated beansprouts. We love their braised eggplant and spicy pickled cucumber. So delicious and best that it's free flow. Just these 8 dishes could make well as a meal with plain rice. We ordered 3 mains as below.

1. Japchae with beef ($9.90) - deliciously fried japchae with thinly sliced beef and spinach. Love the springiness of the glass noodles. Rating: 4/5

2. Pork bean paste stew ($9.90) - hot piping bean paste stew with lots of mushrooms, tofu, pork slices and leek. The soup was just right in terms of saltiness and really good with a bowl of rice. So good during a cold weather. Rating: 4.2/5

3. Chicken bulgogi ($15.90) - the chicken bulgogi was a little different from our expectation. More sweet than spicy, like those that we had in Seoul. We felt that it would be better if a little spiciness could be added. Rating: 3.9/5

We were overall very pleased with their food and service and we will definitely be back again at this family restaurant to try the rest of their dishes.
