Review: Damotory Korean Wine House

Bought their deal online for $24.90 for dinner buffet. I really like the design of the restaurant. It has both indoor and outdoor seats. The indoor seats are separated into tatami seats and the normal wooden benches. If the weather permits, one should try sitting outside at night. It will be really quite unique to sit on tatami out in the open air under the starry night. However, being the very typical Singaporean, "Aiya, the weather very hot la" cross our minds and we choose the indoor seats.

I simply love the wooden tables and benches and the white windows panes. Sorry that I forgot to take a photo of the outdoor seats.

One funny thing is that the kpop music that they play do not correspond to the music videos played on the tv.

Food-wise, they have quite a variety that are included in the buffet. We can order anything that is $20 and below. However, they missed the most important element in a buffet. DRINKS! and water is not complimentary. We need to pay $2 for a small bottle of mineral water.Truthfully, if I have paid the full price for this or order ala-carte dishes alone, I would have thought they are shortchanging me. For the amount paid, I thought the overall experience was quite ok. Food portions were large and they tasted ok.



 Beef (Bulgogi)
Good!

Cheesy Spicy Chicken with Ricecakes
Nice but it gets a bit heavy after 5 to 6 pieces.













Salmon Salad
Good!

Pollack Fish Pancake
Too oily and tastes odd.

Fried Glass Noodle
A little watery, lacking in the authentic korean flavour












Steam Egg
The steam egg dish is a far cry from the one that I tried in Korea. This one really just tastes like steam egg like those we overcooked at home. It is simply not smooth and fluffy.









Kimchi Soup
Kimchi soup is alright.

Squid Rings
Very tasty!









Will I go back again? Yes because I really wanted to try seating on those cute tatami seats outdoors.
Ratings
Food: ***1/2
Service: **; service was slow and the waitress kept mixing up orders. If your order do not come within 30mins, do remind them about it again.
Ambience: ***1/2; ideal for large group gatherings, tend to be noisy

Value for money: ****, coz I only paid about $30 for this meal, considered cheap for korean food.
