Had lunch here during a Sunday afternoon. I rarely eat Korean cuisine so I am not sure whether it's authentic or not. Ordered beef brisket with level 2 spicy. Overall the taste is good for me. The portion can feed up to 3 pax, a bit too much for 2 persons. Quite full but a bit boring towards the end because all the ingredients are rice cake related and noodles. Great and friendly staff! Food served in a short period.
Firstly, the environment of the place is clean and comfy, even the toilet is super clean. We chose Crispy chicken rose tteokbokki, its creamy and sweet at the same time. And we top it up with cheese fall! But if we come back will definitely order level 3 spicy or above, as level 2 spicy is original not a hint of kick. Need add more spice to cover the sweet taste that overwhelms you after awhile.
Overall will recommend cheese lovers and k food lovers to come over to come.
Had a pleasant experience dining at Red Holic! Chanced upon this eatery as we were walking down Tanjong Pagar Road, looking for options. Decided to give this place a try as the menu looked interesting, and we weren’t disappointed!
Food was tasty and strong in flavour, we ended up getting more than we initially ordered. Staff were rather friendly and helpful, would probably give this place another go if we’re in the area, considering how crowded it can get especially on the weekend! :)
We got the beef brisket combo!
First few bites tasted really good, but when you’re about halfway, the taste can get really gelat because the sauce is just one dimensional. Hence, it would be the perfect portion for 3 pax, a little too much for 2.
The saving grace was the fried fritters and seaweed rice balls… they add crunch and texture to the whole dish which was just chewy throughout. Teokkbokki was the perfect chewiness for me and didn’t taste like those frozen ones. Though the cabbage in the stew was way too little. Sauce dried up rather quickly over the stove so we requested to add more but the staff said no. Service wasn’t great at all.
Tried the dakgalbi here which is really (really) good - very similar to those I’ve had at home-run eateries in Korea. The seaweed rice balls were tasty too. Highly recommended for those. Flavours were on point especially the dokboki in the dakgalbi which had amazingly soft yet chewy texture… the kind that doesn’t make your mouth hurt.
Some other points tho -
The drinks are pricey and they don’t serve with ice unless you ask (even so you need to ask for extra servings of ice cos the qty is really little). You also need to ask for serviettes instead of easily accessing it at the table. Side dishes are also not served. Not sure if it’s a diff in what we’re used to at other Korean restaurants here but given the price levels charges, these points or lack thereof can come off as cheap? Understand business costs of course so wouldn’t judge harshly on this and would return again anyway.
