Dosan Park / Apgujeong Rodeo, Seoul • Restaurant
Chef Jang Bo-won's 'Bobo Restaurant', a treasure in Dongmyeong-dong, Gwangju, South Jeolla Province, has relocated to Apgujeong Rodeo. Centered around a U-shaped bar, the space features tables on the left and a semi-room accommodating 8 people below. Its interior, reminiscent of a modern Japanese dining cuisine, is neat without being over the top, and it's impressive for a Chinese restaurant to have an open kitchen.
Overall, the impression was that all the dishes were delicious. It felt as though a bit more emphasis was placed on individuality than on mass appeal, especially dishes with Sichuan sauce offered a fresh perspective different from the usual, and the use of fresh ingredients for seafood dishes was appreciated.
For meals, Mapo Tofu is recommended, and it's better to ask for it in the 'mainland style'. Despite the soft opening period, the staff's friendly service was remarkable.
If you're looking for a Chinese restaurant that satisfies both ambiance and taste, I highly recommend it.
