Sopoong Korean The Starling

Authentic taste of Korean food. Ahjumma Origin from Korea. Food tastes good, rose up to eat there for almost every month. Sometimes late order. That's all

The restaurant was clean with minimal Korean design. Initially, I didn't know it was a Korean restaurant. The staff were attentive. The restaurant was not busy on a weekend lunch hour. There was a TV with K-pop MTVs, which we enjoyed watching while eating. There are a lot of varieties, both in sets and ala-carte. We tried the chicken bulgogi bokkuembap gyeranjjim set. It is chicken fried rice with a sunny side up, a steamed egg, and side dishes. It is served with Korean tea. The fried rice is very good, fragrant and flavourful. The sides of kimchi and cucumber were not spicy, while the salad was okay. The steamed egg was piping hot when served. Personally, I like eggs but I feel there’s a bit too much egg in this set; sunny side up and steamed egg. Furthermore, the steamed egg doesn’t pair well with the fried rice. Large portions at reasonable prices. For some reason, they didn't have ice today. The soy-garlic chicken drummet was disappointing. It is not crispy or crunchy because the chicken was slightly soaked in the sauce. Taste-wise, it was just so-so. You can definitely get better Korean fried chicken elsewhere. We will return for the fried rice and try other selections.

Not really authentic one. I order bibimbap and not really into it.

Friendly waiters. But the food is below average. The side dish is not presentable at all. We ordered the seafood kimchi but the seafood are not fresh. Disappointed.

Korean cuisine with vegetarian options and non vegetarian options, kimchi side dishes are also great and refillable!! The Bibimbap in the hot stone was also very hot and tasty, nutritious! Dakgalbi is very large, although it is small. Kimchi stew is hot and tasteful, great to have it on a cold day. Kellner's service was okay, but food needs time to cook. Price is appropriate for Korean foods and servings are great for normal eaters.
