Of the korean restaurants that we have tested in Gran Canaria, we can say that Kim's Pojangmacha is one of our favorites. This 2023 has made a radical change in image, becoming one of the fashion stores Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. Now Kim Korean food has a broader gastronomic offer and they have moved to the street Galileo nº 9 to a super modern place with music. We tell you everything below!
Kim Pojangmacha Korean Restaurant
As we said, in addition to changing location and having a completely renovated and modern premises, now Kim Pojangmacha has expanded his letter. If you knew him from when he was in the Secretary Artiles, it only had four dishes. Now it is even difficult to choose. We'll tell you what we've tried so far, all spectacular! Next, we show you one of the dishes he has always had, the Vegetable pancake or Buchujeon, which now you can also order with prawns.
Furthermore, the bibimbap, as we see it, has improved it. This dish has rice, vegetables, marinated entrecote, fried egg and spicy sauce. The rice in the lowest layer is super crispy and is simply delicious. The spice comes separately in case you want to add more or less (or nothing). This plate You can also order it without meat.
On the other hand, another of his Essential Korean dishes that have always been on their menu is fried chicken with sweet and sour-spicy sauce. o Dakgangjeong The truth is that it was delicious, but not suitable for those who cannot tolerate spicy food. I ate it (Ruth), even though I am not a fan of spicy food. Highly recommended.
Finally, one of the new additions we tried was its Korean pancake or Hotteok, a show! Inside it has brown sugar and nuts. Plus, they serve it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Also have mango mochis and cheesecake.
As for price, before you could eat at their previous location for less than €15 per person. Now, taking into account that everything has gone up, The price is around €25 per person.. At least that's what we paid for 3 dishes, a dessert, two beers and two waters.
Contact information and hours
If you want to come try Homemade Korean cuisine at Kim's Pojangmacha, the ideal is that you call to reserve. It is very in demand. At the moment, They are working with two shifts for dinner, one at 20:00 p.m. and another at 22:00 p.m.. The place is small (not as small as before), but as we say, it is trendy and It is very difficult to get a table. Especially on weekends. Remember that they are now in the Galileo street number 9, a few steps from Farray Square. The Tuesday and Wednesday closed.
And that's how Kim goes from having a modest restaurant in the Santa Catalina park area to being the trendy restaurant. By the way, as a curiosity, the word Pojangmacha is the name they give it in South Korea small street food stalls where you can find dishes like hotteok. Finally, we leave you with a photo of what it was like was his first pojangmacha so that it remains for the memory. Although they have kept the entrance sign in their new restaurant. We will be back!
