I have always raved about Korean cuisine ever since I had the chance to dine in one of those hole-in-the-wall Korean carinderia in Makati many years ago. That is why I have been eyeing the Chef’s Noodles branch at the local mall but we never really get to try it there. Good thing we finally managed to visit a few weeks back and got to taste their bibimbap. This dish is a traditional Korean dish and literally translates to “mixed rice.” Simply put, it is a bowl of warm rice topped with different ingredients, including beef, seafood, eggs and vegetables. I am a big fan of rice topping so I was really looking forward to trying this dish out.

For our very first Chef’s Noodles experience, we opted for their Donglyo Meal Option B, comprised of a big serving of Chef’s Noodle, 2 orders of Bibimbap {that has 3 different flavors you can choose from ~ pork, chicken or beef ~ we opted for beef}, and 2 glasses of iced tea for Php455. As I’ve mentioned, it was the first time I am having bibimbap so I am not sure what to expect, but I was hoping it will be delicious. And it was! I am a veggie lover so this meal really delighted my taste buds. I love the crunchy carrots, mongo shoots, and other greens. I also enjoy the right amount of nori added in my bowl. This is ideal for those who have big appetite and enjoys a generous serving of rice in their meal. The beef strips is also good. We just thought our Chef Noodle was a bit bland and they could’ve attended a bit more seasoning and spices in it, although, we thought the generous noodle serving deserves our thumbs up!

We had a lovely dining experience at Chef’s Noodles, even when our meals took a little while to be served. We love the ambiance and the lovely restaurant interior, as well as the nice-looking tables and chairs. And can I just add that their attentive staff is simply worthy of mention. I look forward to dining there again soon, and I will make sure to drop by the next time I check out the local orchestra instrument store at the mall. I will most definitely try their japchae and spicy tofu next, along with their Lover’s In Paris shake, which I thought had the most interesting name! ^_^

Have you tried eating at Che’s Noodles? How was the experience like?
