Mimiok

Absolutely fantastic. The food here is sublime. Very clean, staff are incredibly friendly as well!! The place can get busy so be mindful of that - but a 100% must try. Words alone cannot describe my experience here, all you gotta know is that I always come back whenever I visit Korea. A+ highly recommended. ALSO, why is everyone that works here so god dam good looking LOL

For my Aussie bloke, the food didn’t have much flavour (pretty plain – though fair enough, it’s shabu-shabu, and without sauce it can be a bit bland for a Western palate). But I found another reason to come back here: the hospitality is absolutely first-class.

My friend recommeded the beef rice noodles from this place and it did not dissapoint. Quailty of the broth, meat, noodles, and side dishes we very good. Very generous portions as well. The service very nice and quick. We were provided with aporns so the food would not get on our clothes and as hair ties for the friends with long hair. I also like how they have self serve utensils and wet wipes in the drawer under the table, very convenient. Would definitely come back to try the shabu shabu as that seems to be a popular option with other customers!

Heard about the chef being in a very popular Korean Netflix show, the Culinary Wars. The rice noodle dish was average. The noddle was well cooked and broth flavorful. The Minari Pancake was pretty bad. You can’t hardly catch the minari scent, the pork wasn’t flavorful, too crispy. A big miss. The atmosphere was fine and the service was prompt and pleasant. Overall, NOT recommended.

Amazing Last Meal in Korea! Our last meal in Korea was nothing short of incredible! Every bite was delicious, and we couldn’t stop complimenting the food. The crispy green veggie pancake was perfectly cooked, the fresh vegetable selection for the shabu-shabu was excellent, and the noodles and porridge at the end truly sealed the deal. Beyond the amazing food, the service was outstanding. The servers and manager were incredibly attentive, providing the best hospitality we’ve experienced since arriving in Korea. And let’s be honest—it didn’t hurt that the manager was handsome! This meal was the perfect way to end our trip. We’re all going to sleep well tonight, completely satisfied. Thank you for an unforgettable dining experience!

I had such an enjoyable and delicious meal! I visited this place based on a friend’s recommendation, and it truly is a great spot for shabu-shabu. They offer rice noodles for lunch, but I definitely recommend trying the shabu-shabu. It also pairs really well with traditional Korean liquor.

Cannot fault this place. Incredibly tasty food, generous portions, attentive and helpful staff, English language menu for the occasional clueless Europeans like us who turn up, and great value for money. We got the set menu for 2 and a bottle of rice wine - best meal we have had in a long time. The broth was delicious and became incredibly tasty and thickly mushroomy by the end; the various mushrooms were super flavoursome; and the dipping sauces, kimchi and pancakes were top notch. Thank you to the team, and I hope we will be back one day! On a practical note, we joined the wait list and were 17th in the queue. The queue took about an hour so we went to a great wine bar around the corner. All worked really well.

The crispy minari pancake was really crunchy and paired perfectly with the Mimiok makgeolli. We dined in a private room, which made it very comfortable for enjoying a meal with family.
