Choga Korean Restaurant (HillV2)

The banchan was so good tho. I loved everything except the kimchi, which was average.

Seaweed - nicely seasoned, moist and slightly spicy.
Cucumbers - refreshing and slightly crunchy, and didn’t have that raw cucumber flavour.
Mashed potato - it’s pretty sweet, but I liked it a lot. It’s like an egg mayo mashed potato, you can see the egg white bits within.
Kimchi - thought it was spicier than other kimchis, it could be more tangy and flavourful though.
Radish - large chunky cubes of very crunchy radish, was very refreshing and slightly spicy.
Beansprouts - seasoned with sesame oil and mixed with black & white sesame seeds, these were crunchy and fragrant.

Overall, having tried this place on 2 occasions, would say to skip the pork cutlet, bibimbap was ok but not super satisfying, fried chicken is nice, gimbap and banchan is very good. Guess I prefer their sides.

This was terrible, not going to sugarcoat my words. It was really tough and dry, very hard to cut and eat. My cousin who ordered this was struggling to eat it, he regretted his choice. We tried some and was shocked at how tough it was. It came with rice and shredded cabbage doused in too much sauce. This dish had no saving grace, unfortunately.

This was rather average. Rice was moist but I had expected a more plump, sticky short grain rice. It did get crisp at the bottom so that was nice. Ingredients were all pretty decent, they were blanched and tasted healthy. Sliced pork was a little spicy, but meat portions aren’t a lot, my cousin commented. I didn’t add gochujang bc I didn’t want it heavily seasoned. It was a decent lunch option but I’ve had better - maybe some sesame oil would help!

Not the crunchy fried chicken we were expecting, we thought it’ll be like the OFC crunch chicken. Nonetheless, it was still quite yummy even without the batter. The skin was crisp and the fat had almost rendered fully, so there wasn’t that soft mushy fat layer beneath the skin 👍🏼 The chicken itself was very moist and tender and juicy, was not remotely dry at any part!! And even at our last piece there was steam coming out when we bit into the chicken. We’ll be back for their battered chicken (we believe it’s classified as “crispy” chicken in their menu!)

This gimbap had carrots, omelette, spinach, yellow pickled radish & luncheon meat. I don’t ever eat luncheon meat but I thought this one made sense, it didn’t taste terrible and lent a slightly saltiness to the gimbap. The rest of the ingredients were p standard, I liked the pickled radish in particular! The rice was also good - tightly packed and but not mushy. Satisfied my gimbap craving!!

Set B is quite small potion, seafood pancake is ok. Sides that comes with the set is refillable once.
