The simple restaurant hides behind green doors that give no hint of what's behind in Spanish (or English). Just Korean. The plain tables and decorations don't offer any hint about the food.I was meeting a friend for lunch and wasn't sure I had the right place as the name wasn't on the door, at least not that I could read. But the address was correct. The staff wasn't sure I had the right place either.
They said there was another Korean place up the street and maybe I was looking for that. I showed them the note with the name and address and they said I was in the right place.
My friend arrived and we sat down for a nice meal of spicy squid stir fry and friend dumplings. The entire meal set me back 250 pesos and they meant it when they said spicy.
When we left I saw the other Korean Restaruant and might give it a try, but will probably return to this one again because the food was good.
They speak Spanish and have a menu in English (but not Spanish). I left with a copy of the English menu, and here it is:
