Dain Korea - Bristol, City of

The chicken dumpling starter was quite good, though not exceptional. Apart from that, the mains were expensive, not very tasty and had very niggardly meat content. The belly pork was more akin just to bits of bacon, whilst my companion's pork bibimbap had hardly any meat in it at all. Won't go again.

We visited in an early January lunch time, only the two of us and a student in another table. All the food were very mediocre, when we started to think the pork bibimbap was quite good, the rice was piping hot but when we put the pork in the mouth, they were fridge cold, so just ate the rice without the pork. When we mentioned it after paying, the server said, the pork was precooked and stored in the fridge, they forgot to warm it up before putting them on the rice.

Free BYO, but have a couple of beers available. Food was a really interesting range of flavours many familiar, some not. Decent portions, well presented. Felt slightly expensive for more of a cafe than a restaurant, but was happy with value at the end of the day.

I'm quite confused about how this places gets good reviews. For a plate of vegetable dumplings, fried squid that was thin and covered in panko and oily and a plain plate of beef short rib £15!!!!! bulgogi without rice or anything, we paid £33 what the actual help?! The portions were tiny too. We were given tap water in a re usable pink plastic water bottle you use to take water on your bicycle and then at the end of the meal, 2 slices of orange on a plate. By far the most bizarre and most expensive meal we have had which was not worth even £5 to make. We felt this was some kind of joke. Still can't quite believe it. Both of us a size 10 we went for food afterwards. Unbelievable.

My friends an I have thoroughly enjoyed our dinner at Seoul GaJa (formerly known as Dain Korea). Pancakes, squid, bibimpap... so good! Great taste, kind of spicy, but not too much. I've only tried seafood, but I'm looking forward to going back and try other stuff. The service is fast of polite. Definitely cheap considering the quality of the food. Highly recommended.
