Seoul Kitchen<\/strong> in Los Ba\u00f1os takes every customer to South Korea not only through the food they serve but\u00a0also with the ambiance. If you aren’t into the Korean craze yet, this restaurant may just be your starting point.<\/p>\n

\"\"Seoul Kitchen’s modish interior<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Owned by MC Habito and his Korean national wife Kyung Jin Jae, Seoul Kitchen serves classic Korean food usually served in Hongdae, South Korea.<\/p>\n

\"\"Diners will be greeted by accommodating staff the moment you step in<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"Seoul Kitchen is also a cafe that serves brewed coffee<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

“Usually when people talk about Korean cuisine, what pops out of their minds is that it’s very traditional, but as for Seoul Kitchen, we wanted it to stay modern, just like the shops around Hongdae in Korea,” Habito said, explaining the concept of the restaurant.<\/p>\n

\"\"The restaurant also has outdoor seats\u00a0<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Seoul Kitchen can cater to a number of up to 70 customers. The restaurant also\u00a0highlights its own mini party room where guests can have recreational time for fangirling\/fanboying. It has a TV which shows Korean music videos that every K-pop\u00a0fan will surely love. Interested guests can reserve the room prior to their event date.<\/p>\n

From the interiors designed with fashionable art, the waitstaff, to the food, the whole place\u00a0evokes a very welcoming ambiance, giving diners\u00a0a homey feeling for a great dining experience.<\/p>\n

For those who fancy pasta, try Seoul Kitchen’s Red Chili Carbonara (Php 170)<\/strong>. It is a creamy chili sauce based pasta served with garlic bread. Although mixed with chili, the bacon, and cheese effectively tone down the spice level. Since Korean cuisine is known for their typically spicy food,\u00a0Rappoki with Cheese (Php 105)<\/strong> is another dish to satisfy\u00a0the spicy-eaters made of perfectly cooked Ramyun noodle with rice cake and fish cake. This one is the most-requested dish among loyal customers.<\/p>\n
