Kafe Khan Bel ' - Taraz

No photos for this review, I would like to say that everything was so good that I jumped on the food, but the truth is kinda the opposite, I had so many doubts about the taste from the look that I neither thinked about taking photos. The place from outside looks abandoned, we were going to leave but than we noticed that inside the abandoned structure there was the Kafe. The Kafe itself have a particular style, that I personally disliked, but let 's speak about the food. The waiter was really gentle and gave us suggestions and dedicated a lot of time to us, but if that was the suggested food, well... As first dish we received the second dish, mine was supposed to be beef with a sweet chili sauce and squid rings. I received beef and onion (not so much appreciated, but ok) in a really bad taste chili sauce (absolutely not sweet, kinda chili) covered by tons of I suppose onion (not sure if as decoration or if I was supposed to eat it, no thx) and by 7-8 squid rings REALLY chewy. The plate was bad, u have no idea why there was onion and why so much, I hate to tresh food, and the dish itself had no sense, the squid rings with the beef and that sauce were a disgusting combination without any reason to exist. If you want to put together because in your head it 's tasty to alternate them you can serve a dish that has beef in one plate and squid in a different one, I don 't agree as the fact that they are good together but for sure put them in the same plate has no sense. The other second dish was supposed to be pork ribs with kimchi, instead also here there were tons of vegetables not appreciated by the person who ordered the dish. At least pork ribs were good. After the second dish we received the the first dish, a hot soup suggested by the waiter and... Cold, they bringed us the cold version (yey, perfect for someone who was icing), they bringed to warm and after 10 minutes here we are with a not cold soup (neither far hot, and not warm, just no more cold). The soup itself was one of the worst I ever tasted, noodles were ok, eggs almost tasteless, beef hard, cabbage (that I usually love) un-eatable and cucumber was horrible (obviously because of the fact that it was warmed up) as taste and consistency. We also ordered a second dish as appetizer and it obviously arrived as last (at least we were advised), basically some sort of giant soft dumplings with a strange sauce. Nothing special, I personally didn 't like the sauce but they were good dumplings, if not for the fact that the sack itself wanted to kill you, one of the most chewy and heavy things I ever tried, and I actually risked to suffocate. But I will not judge it because I don 't know if that 's how the dish it 's supposed to be. We also ordered some potatoes, and on those I can 't say nothing bad, because we never received them. Luckily there were not in the bill or I had to get crazy after the bad day I had today and the not good food I received. In conclusion, I will probably never go back there, and I would never suggest to no one to go there intentionally, but if you are hungry, and you are in the area, you could try maybe the eastern food. I don 't know, maybe kachapuri with an Eastern soup and some tea.

Not that good, can’t even tell if it’s Korean food

I visit Khan Bel whenever I catch a cold. I enjoy their spicy ramen, which is delicious. However, the interior is quite modest. The café's appearance, in particular, really needs a drastic makeover.

Large Korean cuisine, beautiful atmosphere.

A popular place for Korean food!
