OI! it's been a while! please don't throw rocks harhar!
I've been lazy, too busy eating and started postponing my blog =S
BUT i'm back for now with my FAVOURITE korean restaurant at the mo!
5000 ans is a nice little place and it is owned and managed by koreans so you CANNOT go wrong with that!

Interesting fact: 5000 years refers to how long korean cuisine has been around or so they explain on the menu.

Ambience
It's small and homey.
I don't know how else to describe it. You easily feel like you are in that little neighbourhood shop that serves a good hot meal.
If you are lucky, they will play korean music haha! However, the last couple of times i went, they played random "normal" music which made me sad

Food
The first thing you get is a refreshing cup of iced rice tea! (free refills obviously).
They pretty much have the basic korean dishes such as bibimbap, korean BBQ, kimchi and tteokbokki
The first two pics are taken on the spot! (you can also see my arm haha)
Doesn't it all look yummy!
The bibimbap is my personal fav! It's korean rice with vegetables and meat (i always take beef), topped off with a raw egg. All of this comes in a traditional hot korean bowl that keeps the food hot and cooking while you eat! (sorry for the lack of better wording). The best part is to let the bowl "burn" your rice, the taste is amazing!
Another goody is the korean BBQ. It's a set for two people. It comes with a miso soup, a salad and a bibimbap.

There's also the special lunch menu which comes with a miso soup, your dish, and ice cream!

Must try
-Dolsot bibimbap (#1 of the restaurant)
-Korean BBQ
-Tteokbokki (ricecake and fishcake with glass noodles in a spicy sauce)
-Haemul Pajeon (Seafood pancake)

Price
Reasonable price for what i ate.
Under 20$/person.
The KBBQ is 30$, the bibimbap is around 12,99$, the side dishes are 3-5$.

OVERALL RATING

10/10

I'm sorry if i didnt sound enthusiastic enough even though i've been raving about this place to everyone and ANYONE! But i'm half-asleep writing this =S
I've eaten at this place 3 times the other week so i'm pretty sure you can figure out how much i love it!
