Wara wara has long been an establishment in the Korean food scene in Brisbane. The last time I had eaten here was at least over five years ago and the food was moderately disappointing, which is why I had never been back, especially because Madtongsan was so close by. Last Friday though, I decided that it would be time to give it another shot, so we headed upstairs for some dinner.
Waitstaff were friendly but the online ordering system was definitely not user friendly and there were a number of technical difficulties in ordering and missing food items that we had paid for (in addition to having an undisclosed surcharge). Nevertheless, staff were gracious and apologetic for this, which I appreciated.
Our soju took around half an hour to show up and took us chasing it down twice until it arrived. Our sides took a while to come but they were fairly standard with some creamy pasta, kimchi and seasoned seaweed.
Our mains though were all very delicious. The first one was the Marinated Raw Salmon Rice Bowl. This came with an egg yolk and salad atop a small bowl of rice. The salmon was wonderfully seasoned with soy and sesame. The texture was firm and it went well with the rice. I only wish that there was a bit more for me to enjoy.
We also shared a dish of Sizzling Karaage chicken. It came on a hot plate and the chicken was fresh out of the fryer. Served super crisp, it was very delicious with a juicy moist interior. Kewpie mayonnaise is always a win when it comes to accompaniments too. Again there wasn't too much rice, but it was adequate and at least there was a fairly generous amount of chicken to go with it.
Our Kimchi Pancake came last, the ordering system conveniently forgot to put our order through, so it took close to an hour before it arrived at our table. Despite the delays, this was a really delicious pancake with a crispy exterior and just the right amount of spice in the kimchi filling. I really enjoyed the food here and if the online ordering system improves, I will definitely be back here more frequently.
