Midam Cafe & Bistro

Hard to believe it’s already been 17 years—congratulations! 🎉 We’ve been coming here for over a decade, ever since it first opened as a basketball-themed restaurant. Back then, I still remember one aunty (ajumma) working tirelessly in the kitchen while the younger staff handled the front. Over the years, this place has given me so many warm memories. The Korean food has always been consistent and authentic—after all, in K-town, only the strong (and tasty) survive! Their desserts are also a treat, always a nice way to finish the meal. If I had one small wish, it would be for them to bring back more of those delicious hot and cold drinks they used to serve—it’s a little nostalgic. But no matter what, we’ll definitely be here cheering them on for the next ten years too! 💪

Everything about this place is a 10! The food is amazing if you are trying to get into Korean cuisine or if you’re a seasoned veteran. The vibe is great and the service is amazing. Definitely will come again!!

I can’t forget how fantastic their rose pasta was. The sauce was very creamy, and the pork was very crunchy. You all must try this pasta, and I guarantee you’ll like it!

Ordered budae hotpot+pan fried sizzling pork belly at 7pm on Tuesday. The food was great. Quiet environment. Not crowded. Friendly service. Nice decoration and atmosphere.

They got cool arts! Their shredded ice was awesome and HUGE!

The food is pretty good and tasty! but everyone in my family agreed it wasn't the best Korean food we had. We thought the chicken in the UFO was already fully cooked but a couple of our pieces were half done / undercooked so that was just an unpleasant surprise we didn't expect. We've tried their desserts before as well. I think their beautiful presentations set too high of an expectation for the taste that it can be a little disappointing when it doesn't taste crazy phenomenal. Service is ok but they get pretty busy so you might have to wait a while before they respond to you ringing the bell. The place is built with very hard surfaces so it was very noisy. That along with the fact that many young adults gathered here who generally spoke very loudly. I was able to clearly overhear the conversations from every table in the restaurant and I felt kinda intrusive and experienced an auditory overload that led to a headache. My family didn't seem as bothered by it though so it probably won't affect you as much unless you're sensitive to it or prefer more privacy like me. Overall I think it's a nice social place to eat with friends or family if you don't mind a noisy atmosphere but just wasn't the place for me. ^^

We loved their squid and pork stir fry it was absolutely delicious. The place was packed on Sunday night but we were still seated pretty quickly. I just wish they had more side dishes but besides that I can’t wait to go back and try their shaved ice.

I haven't been here for a few years and things have changed. I'm not too sure if they have new management since the last time I was here, but the menu definitely changed. It use to be a quiet little dessert restaurant and now its decorated with like a sports bar with loud music (not a good or bad thing, just different). Food was really good and prices are quite reasonable. I enjoyed the matcha mochi toast a lot. However, I didn't quite understand the tea at all, it was presented very well, but it tasted bland, just hot water with a few tea leaves.
