Nolboo Hangari Galbi @ OC

Orchard Central (OC) is located at Somerset. You can find pamper yourself at OC as this mall is 11 floor high! This is the only mall which you can find many food outlets from B2 to 11 Floor.


My friend and I tried Nolboo Hangari Galbi, a korean restaurant which is located at Level 8. The outlet looks big and clean. Very korean style and they played Korean songs.


The staff served us seat and was hurried us to order the food from the menu which we are not even glare through it yet! Most of the menu contains beef which I seldom consume the beef.


I asked him (staff) if I could not change the beef to chicken, he was rather hostile and impatient to respond my question that I could not change to chicken and they never had this request before and asked me to change other dish and hurried me again!


In the end, I choose Bulgogi Chicken at the cost of SGD$24.00, 1 Steamed Rice SGD$1.50, 1 Seaweed Soup SGD$1.00 and my friend ordered 1 Soybean Paste Stew SGD$16.00. Plus, they included 2 Tea SGD$2.00, which we do not order!


A piece of advice,  if you are not beef eater, you might need to consider before patron to this Korean restaurant.


Rating for Nolboo Hangari Galbi Orchard Central Outlet:


Locational: 4/5 It takes you about 10 minutes walk from Somerset MRT station and 15 minutes walk from Orchard MRT station. It is not convenience when it's raining heavily. 


Ambience: 5/5 The restaurant is Korean style. Good seating plan layout and the place is big.


Customer Service: 3/5 Their staff are Rude (a Local wearing shirt with spec. Believe to be supervisor or manager). Keep rushing you to order their food when you yet to see the menu and not a great listener to take your order. 


Furthermore, if you could not consume beef and would want to change to chicken, the staff sound very hostile and not patient! Plus, I yet to finish my order and he just walked away!


Waiting Time: 3/5 The waiting time was rather slow and at that time it was not crowded. When the food was served, you need to barbecue yourself. (Compare to other Korean restaurant where they will barbecue for you or teach you how to barbecue yourself) 


Even when you want to make a payment, the staff do not seem to be bothered and when they approach you and asked for the bill, you still need to wait about 20 minutes before they could bring you the bill.


Pricing: 2/5 The pricing was rather too expensive
