GongGuan Korean
 
This GongGuan Korean place isn’t going to win any awards for its cleanliness or its presentation, nor will it win any design awards for the outside. However, if you’re looking for an inexpensive Korean fix and you live in the GongGuan area, then you should consider this place.

This GongGuan Korean place does get pretty busy, so I would suggest arriving before 17:30 on weekdays and maybe 17:00 on weekends if you do not wish to line up.

Left to right: pickled cucumber, seaweed, kimchi, noodles
 

Refill on these as many times as you want. I personally recommend the kimchi as it is pretty good, however, the rest are just OK.

The sauce is a salty-sweet combo. It works well with the fried aspect of the pancake.
 

This was a solid offering. The pancake wasn’t too thick but still had plenty of seafood inside. It was crispy around the edges and went down a real treat.

Belly Pork

Great idea on the use of tin foil – saves on some washing up!
 

I really enjoy cooking at the table side sometimes, it’s a lot of fun. I also put some of the chopped garlic that came with the pork on here, too. It helped give a little flavour and aroma.

The sauce was a salty-spicy combo and was ok. But, it could have been spicier for my liking.
 

The sauce could have been spicier at GongGuan Korean place, but was still alright, especially mixed with the salad leaves and kimchi!

Longer than most I have seen, they seem pretty authentic.
 

The topoki were actually really good at this GongGuan Korean place. They were soft, but retained their shape and flavour. The sauce wasn’t too spicy but still packed a kick, too. They were enough to keep me coming back, that’s for sure!
