Drunken Fish

The place is fancy and the athmosphere really nice. The staff is kind and attentive. Food is ok, nothing special but I guess that’s because of the Korean food which is particularly tasteless if you don’t add spicy sauces. If you’ve coeliac disease or are gluten intolerant you won’t find any support here.

So i really enjoyed the food here but I was with two people with significant gluten and other allergy problems and it was very difficult for them to get accurate information on what was in the food from the people serving us.
It was very frustrating and hampered our enjoyment of the meal itself which didn’t take long and i really enjoyed. I would go back but not with anyone with any allergy difficulties! I must also mention the restaurant was a little chilly and we had to ask them to turn the heating up.

This was a great new find and a nice addition to the IFSC area.
Went here for dinner on a really rainy night, so the place was quiet, though I’m told it often is in the evenings, funny because this place is huge! I’d imagine it’s quite busy for lunchtime with all the businesses around.
In any case, this place was great. Service was a little slow and inattentive, but the food makes up for it. I had one of the bibimbaps and it did not disappoint. Portion was a good size too, and it came with miso soup on the side which was a nice addition to the meal, especially on a gloomy day like today! My friends all enjoyed their meals too. Be warned though: if you’re sensitive to spicy food, choose wisely! Some of their spicy dishes are indeed very spicy and not just the lightly spicy stuff you can get in some places. This is the real deal Korean food. Which is to say, delicious.
They all serve two types of bottled Korean beer which was nice to try, or if you prefer, they have a solid variety of draught beers in the downstairs bar to choose from.
All up, the food was delicious and the meal wasn’t too pricy. It’s a great option for lunch or dinner in the IFSC area.

This new Korean restaurant is an excellent addition to the restaurant scene around the IFSC and Mayor Square. First off, this is impressive because it’s like three different establishments in one. It has:
(1) A full service Korean restaurant upstairs
(2) A lunchtime takeaway where you can order your own customized bimbimbap
(3) A large pub taking up most of the downstairs area
After a nice pint at the bar, we went upstairs where they had one of the more traditional Korean restaurant menus I’ve seen in Dublin. We went with the pork belly and the bulgogi & mushroom stew both of which were delicious. But although the mains were great, the star of the meal was the dozen or more small sides they provided with the meal: multiple types of kimchi, sweet bean curd, mini potato pancakes and an old favorite of mine, pickled lotus root.
As for the service, everyone was very friendly and attentive. I also have to say that they did a great job redoing the place because you could easily forget you’re in Dublin while you’re enjoying your meal.
I only saw the temporary menu because I visited in the first week before they had come back from the printers but I’m really looking forward to going back soon and seeing what other new foods they might be bringing to Dublin.

Nice new addition to the IFSC and great to see this building up again. The staff are really friendly and the food is great. The portion size for the lunch is a little small for the price. I’ll be back for drinks some time soon as they have some Korean beers which id like to try. Hope they are going to have a larger evening menu too as currently you can order small platters and sushi from the bar. Hopefully they are also going to give the place a little spruce up as it has great potential.
