"1-Hour Wait 'Standard'?"…'Namyangju Soriso Country Table', Honest Review of the '24,000 KRW' Pot Rice Set (ft. Tips)
"When you've been on a drive in the Seoul suburbs and want to 'heal' with a 'generous' traditional Korean meal, many of you might think of 'Namyangju Soriso Country Table'."
However, there's a daunting rumor that a '1-hour wait' is standard! Is it truly worth waiting for? I'll share my 'frank review' and 'waiting tips' from my personal visit.
Not Just for Eating…A 'Theme Park' Like Space
'Soriso' isn't just a standalone restaurant. It's like a small 'theme village', equipped with a Tom N Toms Cafe, an artificial waterfall, walking paths, and even a claw machine arcade around the restaurant.
You can 'eat → drink coffee → take a walk' all in one place, which is why it's beloved as a 'Seoul suburban drive course'.
'24,000 KRW' Pot Rice Set, How Does It Taste?
The only menu item here is the 'Pot Rice Set' (24,000 KRW per person). Upon ordering, over 10 side dishes, including bossam (boiled pork slices), marinated raw crab, rockfish gui (grilled fish), doenjang jjigae (soybean paste stew), japchae (stir-fried glass noodles), and steamed egg, are served lavishly alongside the pot rice.
- Taste Evaluation: "The seasoning is not strong and it's well-balanced, a taste that everyone, young and old, would enjoy." is the general consensus. However, some frank reviews suggest, "It lacks a memorable 'impact,' making me question if it's worth the long wait."
Just Know 'This' Before You Go!…'Essential' Visit Tips
- Waiting Tip:
"On weekends, even with an 'open run', expect a 1-hour wait! Have one person in your group get off first to put your name down on the kiosk waiting list!"
- After-Meal Tip:
"Don't throw away your receipt! At the adjacent Tom N Toms, you can get a free drink (or 20% discount) when you show your receipt review confirmation."
A Restaurant of 'Value for Money' and 'Atmosphere'
'Soriso Country Table' offers more advantages in its generous 'value for money' and the 'atmosphere' you can enjoy after your meal, rather than an overwhelmingly sensational 'taste'.
If you can successfully overcome the hurdle of 'long waiting times', it will surely be a satisfying choice for family gatherings or a date course.
