This is a proper Korean experience nestled in Buenos Aires. After travelling around South America for 2 months we wanted to try Korean food in the 2nd most populated Korean city in South America after São Paulo.
The presentation of this place is quite amazing. While I don't quite understand why this place is named after a 2014 documentary of Anna Chung and what involvement her and her family had to restaurant, the level of care into the food, presentation and promotion of Korean culture was amazing and has to be celebrated. I especially enjoyed the book which describes each dish and it's cultural explanation, giving people a better understanding of Korean food and how it brings people together.
The food here is great and almost as authentic as proper Korean Food you find in other Korean hotspots like Sydney, New York, Los Angeles and São Paulo. We ordered the bulgogi, ddeokbokki, kimchi Mandu, sundooboo jjiggae, boricha. The Kimchi Mandu was especially impressive that it was hand made. The flavours were all quite authentic maybe a touch sweeter than we are used to, perhaps adapting to local taste but the spice level was great. Some disappointing or areas for improvement however, the kimchi was quite bland, maybe not fermented with the correct ingredients from Korea, and the boricha tasted quite watered down.
Otherwise hands down, a truly amazing experience coming here and highly recommend anybody wanting to try Korean food or for those missing a taste of home.
