Trendy interior with heaps of neon lights but that's pretty much it. I got Curry Rice with Chicken Schnitzel which was okay - nothing special. I got a chance to try my friends' Korean Fried Chicken and Pork Belly Dosirak but they were also mediocre. A good place to come for a date but not for quality food

After uni, I headed here for a delicious Korean bowl of rice. Bibimbap is done best at Oppa Kitchen. They specialise in Korean rice dishes with a variety of sides to share. I recommend their Spicy Pork and Beef Bulgogi Bibimbap - definitely my favourite. The rice is fluffy, and the proportion of rice to portion of meat and five-coloured healthy ingredients is perfect. I loved how cute the presentation, with the even layout of the ingredients - a traditional 'spiritual harmony' displayed.
Each of the vegetables were seasoned well with a nice hint of salt and sesame oil, that went well with the flavourful meat, the star of the bibimbap.
Other dishes we ordered were the Beef Bulgogi Dosirak and the Grilled Beef Steak Meal Bucket. I loved the addition of the crispy potato croquette on most rice dishes, which was so fluffy in the inside and crispy on the outside. The Dosirak, was mostly made of rice and very little beef compared to the bibimbap. The Grilled Beef Steak in the Meal Bucket was a bit tough, which wasn't very enjoyable to eat. On that note, the salad was a bit too sour for my liking.
I've had other dishes from my past experiences. The best thing from this restaurant would have to be the bibimbap. Their curry dishes are very delightful to eat and rich in curry flavour and aroma, does not taste like high quality as it may taste a little grainy. Their fried chicken and fried rice cakes can be a little bit on the dry side, and the marinade can be a bit salty from the gochujang. Other than that, everything is worth trying, and is an affordable meal that can be enjoyed on a lunch break or a catch up with friends.
I should’ve ordered the bibimbap in the stone bowl, anyways i thought the place was okay but husband enjoyed it thoroughly.
