‼️Beyond Deal Update: On Burpple it says the main dishes eligible for this deal would only be ricebowls and mains, but they said those were from before their relocation, and the deal has now extended to rice, noodles and soup, with exclusion of Korean Ginseng Chicken Soup. Also, note that the updated menu has more options than the one shown on Burpple e.g. there are 6 soup options instead of 3. You can Google their website for the updated menu‼️

A very modern-looking, Korean-Western fusion cafe! I visited for dinner and the place had very chill vibes—think dim setting, stylish furniture, neon lights and vibey K-pop music from a proper sound system. None of that loud, jarring Korean music here. At 730pm on a weekday, I didn't require a booking but the place was at around 50% capacity.

We ordered a couple of mains, their Korean Fried Chicken ($10 for 6pc) and some drinks. For the Fried Chicken, we were allowed to mix 2 flavors (choose from spicy, soy and original) and we chose the first two. The chicken comes in the form of wings (note: each drumstick and wing count as 1 pc separately) and unfortunately even though it was pinned as a Chef's Recommendation, I didn't find it that good. The wings were fried well but the sauces it came dressed in leave more to be desired. Soy was the better one of the two, and I would skip the spicy; Korean spicy chicken is usually a sweet-spicy glaze but this one was literally Korean chilli paste slapped on chicken wings.

The Yuzu Soda ($5.50) was well concocted and the Iced Mint Latte ($6) was interesting as it was served blue, with a wheat-base. I couldn't decide whether I liked it or not but it was neither good nor bad.

And for the mains,

Boy: Bulgogi Carbonara ($16) as pictured; this was a star dish that came with an onsen egg and beef sukiyaki slices. The meat was sweet-savory and just so well done; on its own would easily be a 9/10. The carbonara too was full-bodied and a solid 7/10 but I felt like they are meant to be separate dishes and not served together. Overall an 8/10.

Girl: Army Stew ($15) this was served with half a serving of ramyeon and a bowl of rice. Inside the stew was tofu, spam, fatty pork, kimchi and fish cake in generous servings. Whilst I did enjoy this dish and it was good as army stews go, I wish there was more soup and it was served hotter. It was the first dish to serve and came on its own, but was lukewarm, and quickly got colder as I ate. A 7/10 but would have been higher if served hot.

All in all this was a really nice cafe and I was pleasantly surprised by the nice vibes. The staff was polite enough and it was a good experience. It's a bit far away for me but I don't mind coming back again. With Beyond, our bill came up to $39.90 after taxes, which I find extremely reasonable for the spread and ambience.

Ambience: 9/10
