Arang ♥

Date of visit - November 2011

Quick post of a Korean restaurant I've been a few times, thought I share it with everyone. 

Went Arang on Sunday cause Alex was craving it and he told me he had something to tell me... was curious, turns out to be so-so interesting. I swear this place, every time we go it's full of orientals... not that it's a bad thing... actually, it's always full of fobs, I swear!! I think most orientals have been here before lol, where are all the caucasians and other races? Korean food ain't there thang I guess? I personally think this restaurant is over hyped! 

This place is always packed though, I came after work, recommended to book if you go especially in large groups. 

Free! My favourite, I can eat loads of them bean sprouts! 

Spring onion and Seafood pancake

Alex was determined to try this, might as well! Fried octopus with veg and red pep paste sauce.

We've been here a few times and we always order this, actually most of the time Alex yams it all. Spicy fried chicken.

Fried noodles with veg and seafood. This was alright, tasted like chinese udon noodles with a hint of spice.

Omg, I forgot to mention!!! My post about Bumpkin restaurant? I got food poisoning from the stupidddd oysters. I literally woke up at 5.45am and had abdominal pains and ended up going to the bathroom over 10 times? Jeeez, I was in pain and vomiting like no tomorrow! Albs parents encouraged me to go to the emergency room in the evening where they said I also had a bit of a temperature. I can't believe it, this is the first time for me having food poisoning where I vomit. I laid in bed all day and even drinking water made me vomit. Lucky Albs made me congee, felt so weak to eat it though and vomited it out anyways. 

Had to call in sick the next day at work, felt so bad because it was the first day of the new store opening. Oh well can't be helped, I can't be vomiting on the shop floor lol! Just imagine while your serving a customer! 

So I emailed the company and now they are investigating. WTH are they investigating? LOL! The oysters? I def know it's the oysters cause on Monday me and Albs ate the same thing and he's okay. Anyways, bad luck with oysters :( Let's see what Bumpkin say!

Bibimbap! Okay the woman kinda annoyed me cause she came over and asked us how much chilli paste I want, I was like in the middle of eating and I kinda pointed. Then she put it in and mixed it and separated it in two bowls. Whyyyyyy couldn't she let me do it? And she took the chilli paste, okay I was gonna shout at her to come back but it was too late. 

Free oranges. Eveythings good when it's free right?

Food 4/5

Price  3/5

Staff 3.5/5

Atmosphere 3.5/5

I think I've had nicer korean food, down the one I usually go to down Tottenham Court Road..Like the raw beef is nicer! To be honest it's kinda pricey compared to other Korean restaurants, I guess because it's like in Soho and the restaurant is nicer than the ones in T.C Road. This whole meal here with 2 drinks costs about  £60.00ish altogether.  The staff are okay, not much to complain about them but, wouldn't say they are the most helpful either. They all look depressed, hardly see them smile lol! 

This week I also started a new internship at a bespoke travel company. It's been really good, learnt lots of new things which I love, I'm a total geek when it comes to computer stuff. Without my laptop and the internet I don't know what I'd be doing, total nerd. 

Location: 31-32 Poland Street, Soho, London, W1F 8QT
