Faro Korean - Auckland

First time coming to Faro without going for their barbecue. We ordered the Bulgogi, Bibimbap, Doen-Jang and Cold Noodle dishes.<br/ <br/ I especially liked the Beef Bulgogi which was tender and excellently flavoured. And the Cold Noodles which were chewy and well flavored. <br/ <br/ The Bibimbap was above standard and the Doen-Jang Soup didn’t look very appetizing.<br/ <br/ The mains came with 6 side dishes. I didn’t check whether they were refillable or not.<br/ <br/ Cosy but comfortable ambience and friendly staff. The dishes were reasonably quick to serve.<br/ <br/ They are extremely busy so booking in advance would be preferred.<br/ <br/ Priced at the premium end.<br/ <br/ Taste: 8.5/10<br/ Presentation: 8/10<br/ Service: 8/10<br/ Ambience: 9/10<br/ Value for money: 8/10<br/ <br/ Price $40 per person (excl alcohol)

The beef bulgogi stew...... really hits the spot. The smell alone is enough to make you squirm with the desperation to shovel it down. But the taste..... oh my .... with the beef being tender and the rice soaking up the stew .... that was on a whole other level of deliciousness. However, maybe it's just my personal preference but the raw capsicum just didn't fit... hmm maybe cucumber would have a better refreshing feeling after the strong hit of stew.

BBQ on the table is a nice experience. Quality food but not really sure if it’s worth the price. Complimentary Tofu soup is my least favourite and the meat was my favourite. Good customer service.

For me personally it’s the best Korean restaurant in Auckland. The service is great. I love their bbq with variety of side dishes. The kimchi soup and tofu soup is full of flavour. Overall great Korean bbq!

Its always nice to know that there is a korean restaurant near our place. The food never failed us. Its been our 10th time to eat here and still loving it.
