The name says everything about the kitchen's priorities. 들깨시래기 translates directly to perilla and dried radish greens — two deeply unglamorous Korean pantry staples that home cooks reach for when they want something restorative and honest. Naming a fine-dining restaurant after them is a deliberate statement: this is Korean food rooted in tradition, not trend. Sitting on Võ Trường Toản in the An Phú pocket of Thao Dien, the restaurant draws a predominantly Korean expat crowd alongside locals and food-literate foreigners who know that 시래기 dishes rarely appear on menus outside of Seoul home kitchens. The split weekday schedule — lunch service closes at 2 PM, dinner starts at 4 — follows the rhythm of a serious kitchen rather than an all-day café, which filters the clientele toward those who came specifically to eat. With 388 Google reviews and a 4.1 rating, it has built a steady following without relying on novelty. In a neighborhood saturated with Korean barbecue spots and fusion concepts, the restaurant occupies a quieter lane: elevated plating applied to the kind of slow-cooked, vegetable-forward dishes that define Korean domestic cooking at its most careful. For diners who find most Thao Dien Korean restaurants skew toward grilled meats and soju-friendly formats, this is a distinct alternative — one where the ingredient in the name is likely the ingredient on the plate.
A nearly weekly option for Korean food. The main dishes are always the same but well-prepared. There isn't a menu with many options, however, the secret lies in the side dishes or appetizers... they are divine and constantly changing and original... I admit that I pay for a main course to eat the side dishes... I recommend trying them... I just get sad seeing a poor little CAT always trapped in its cage every time I go there... they could release it and let it happily roam around...
We had a yummy dinner after yoga. The small side dishes "banchan" are plentiful (I like fried sweet potato). Real taste of Korean basic meal which price is very reasonable for 3 persons
Here is famous place for basic korean foods. All dish is delicious, and the staff is kind. If you want to try basic korean style food, This is the best place near here. Only one problem is.. sometimes, attitude of owner is not that good.
We had octopus, fried fish and tofu soup with oyster. Personally the octopus was a bit plan for me but the fish and soup were pretty good. They also have best kim chi. Will go back to taste crab. The menu is a little bit limited though.
Enjoy the appetizers that they serve different than other Korean restaurants. Food taste was not bad, suitable for 1 person lunch that most dishes serves 1 bowl of rice. Price is also reasonable here. Will visit again som other time !
