Located at Ruko
Crown Golf at Pantai Indah Kapuk, this restaurant is one of the abundant Korean
restaurants available in the area. Similar to common Korean restaurants, Gomawo
also brings Korean theme for its design. The venue itself consists of two
separated areas, the smoking and non-smoking ones. If you sit in the
non-smoking one, you will have your food grilled on your table. Whilst at the
smoking one, they have dedicated grilling space.
Complimentary Side Dishes
There were
several side dishes served, including fish cake, kimchi, fried cucumber,
eggplant, fried tofu, and corn. My most favorite was the fried cucumber, which
had very unique taste. I somehow felt that it tasted like fried sliced potato.
Besides that, I did love the fish cake as it was chewy and yummy. Not to
forget, Gomawo also provided steamed egg, which was put on the grilled pan. I
really really love its smooth texture!
8 Flavours of Samgyeopsal (Curry & Honey) – IDR 110k/200gr
Hearing that this
was the signature dish of Gomawo, I then decided to order it. However, as I
only dined with my sister, we couldn’t order too big portion. This sadly made
us unable to try the whole 8 flavours. Instead, we could only have 2 of them as
we only ordered 200gr of the Samgyeopsal (pork belly). We chose curry and
honey. The portion was quite satisfying and the taste was not bad. Combining it
with the fresh veggies and the various side dishes made it became more
enjoyable. Just 1 thing, I actually couldn’t differentiate the curry one with
the honey one as for me, the flavor was too mild, making the taste of these two
to be almost similar.
Buldak (IDR 80k)
I firstly thought
that Buldak was fried chicken covered in batter, then topped with melted
mozzarella cheese and spicy sauce. Conversely, the chicken wasn’t covered by
any batter. Luckily, the taste was luscious as the chicken perfectly absorbed the
spicy sauce. Moreover, the abundantly given melted mozzarella cheese indeed
came as an exceptional complement. I ordered zero spiciness level as when I
wanted to order 5th, the waiter said that it was very spicy, even
people ordering the 1st level found it super hot. Apparently, it was
not right to listen to the waiter this time. For me, this Buldak tasted sweet
instead of spicy. Though I still loved the taste so much, I guessed it would be
more delightful if served spicier.
Tea (IDR 12k)
I actually wanted
to order their tea of the day, which was the tea you commonly found in any
Korean restaurant. However, the waiter mentioned that it was still being
boiled. I was quite disappointed because it was already 1pm, which supposed to
be lunch time, but they somehow looked not well-prepared yet. I then ordered
tea, which I requested to be neither cold nor hot. The waiter had repeated the
order, but then he wrongly brought me cold tea. Requesting the waiter to change
it to the right one, I finally had my order. Unfortunately, the taste was quite
weird. I guessed it’s because of the bad taste of the water used to make this
tea :( .
Overall, I think
Gomawo’s foods are quite nice but still have room for improvement. The place is
actually comfortable for spending quite long time. However, the service needs
to be fixed to avoid any customer dissatisfaction.
