"To be honest, kinda disappointing."I love Korean Food, i really am, and when noticing there is Born Ga Express on emporium, i was hoping that it will taste the same as what i ate back in PIK's Born Ga. I should not have that mentalityPutting aside that though, let me review Born Ga Express, a korean food outlet in Emporium Pluit Mall. Now, first of all, one thing I that i am most disappointed is, the lack of menu variety, and the fact that we have to add 8000 more in addition of kimchi, one of my favourite Korean side dish. Kimchi is a staple in Korean cuisine and the fact that we get sauerkraut salad instead of it, made my heart sank a bit. Other than that, is the fact that out menu choice is limited, and it is divided on four sets (as seen in website Menu), kinda wish they have more, as there are a lot of side dishes selections back in the real Born Ga establishment. Secondly, the food, this time I am eating alone and the restaurant's saving grace is that they have a "single" portion, a hefty, hearthy one at that. As it made me full, really full. Set D itself comprised of many side dishes such as; spicy Stir fry chicken and vegs, japchae, tteopokki as well as spicy squid stir fry. The food itself is very delicious, except for the chicken. Chicken does not feel hot at all, not even warm (there is no blood though) as well as it's not cubed, but rather in the form of wings, which does not represent the single servings well, because again, you are eating in a bowl and not a plate, and it's not easy at all to achieve it. Lastly, we also receive tea, korean ocha, which i need to warned people who wanted to discover korean cuisine that it will have an acquired taste, a smoky aftertaste, which i really enjoy. Other dissapointment i have with the restaurant is that they don't have korean gochujang, and only seen sambal available in their counter. In the end, for me, Born Ga express does not defy my expectation at all, we get what we get for 45k but sadly, for an outlet's quality, a significantly lower quality. For me, a good express may be cheaper and change is understandable to create profit, but at least they need the soul of the home restaurant, a hot meal and what makes the restaurant authentic. If you want to try the real born ga, and not just the average express, i recommend the real born ga in PIK they have great atmosphere, great services as well as great food with a variety of menu to choose from (and great dipping sauces). For me, Born Ga Express is just well, a run off the mill food court restaurant.

Menu born ga express yg skrg ud beda ama yg dulu. situs web blm update nih menunya. Enakan yg dulu krn ad ukuran2nya skrg menunya buat sendiri2 gt. Pesen menu paket yg isinya nasi, salad, beef ama japchae. Enak sih yah standar lah harganya kaya makanan di mall biasa sekitar 50k. Pesen jg tambahan sup telur seharga 5k cm rasanya tawar bgt.

Enak sih harganya menjangkau dan bisa makan rame" (karena porsinya banyak bisa diliat di foto). Suka banget makan ayam gorengnya. Untuk tempat di foodcourt jadi agak kurang nyaman. Tapi untuk makanan boleh dicoba bareng" ;-)

Penasaran pas liat born ga express baru buka di foodcourt empo, akhirnya diputusin untuk nyoba, dari porsi kelihatan sangat besar, rasanya biasa saja dan harga agak mahal.

Born Ga Express beda sama Born Ga, yang ini ga ada meja dengan panggangan dan exhaust fan. Menu yang ekspres didesain sedemikian rupa agar pelanggan bisa mendapatkan makanannya dengan mudah dan cepat, alias ga perlu ribet-ribet masak sendiri dan nunggu mateng satu-satu. Makanannya mirip dengan bento, jadi satu tray itu ada nasi beserta berbagai macam lauk. Kemudian ukurannya juga dibagi tiga, large size, small size, dan single size. Yang large itu dua tray, small itu satu tray, yang single itu dalam mangkuk. Saya pesan yang paket D (bulgogi) dengan ukuran small. Small saja lumayan banyak isinya, jadi saya share dengan teman kantor saya. Paket D ini isinya ada japchae, tteokbokki, beef bulgogi, dan fried chicken. Nasinya juga bisa pilih di antara nasi putih, nasi goreng sapi, dan nasi goreng kimchi. Saya tipe orangnya yang sangat mementingkan value, jadi saya pilih yang sapi. Untuk tteokbokki, menurut saya sausnya oke rasanya tapi teksturnya terlalu kenyal. Butuh tenaga buat kunyah itu gumpalan tepung. Lanjut ke daging bulgoginya. Dagingnya empuk karena potongannya tipis-tipis. Rasanya seimbang dan pas di lidah. Japchae-nya juga enak, tingkat kekenyalannya sempurna. Tapi yang paling enak di antara semua adalah ayamnya. Lapisan luarnya garing, sausnya juga punya rasa yang lezat. Ayamnya sendiri juga sudah berasa. Kalo dinilai secara keseluruhan, menurut saya enak tapi kurang special. Itu lah sebabnya, saya bilang harganya dinilai kurang layak.

Ini rasanya biasa aja sih, cuma seru aja sepiring rame rame. Mau chicken karage, japchae yah okelah kalau pengen ngerasain makanan korea. Ini dihidangkan dingin dingin anget, krn makanan sudah dimasak jd tinggal di pilih aja kayak warteg indo.

My Menu :Paket Ramadhan - 8/10Sebenernya sama seperti paket biasa, cm ini nambah 12 rb dpt extra drink n soup. Lauk nya, sy pilih japchae n bulgogi. Japchae nya enak, bulgogi nya sedikit manis, tp daging nya empuk dan potongan nya kecil2. Sop nya sih hambar, cm seperti telur orak-arik dikuahin campur irisan daun bawang. Kimchi nya banyak, agk pedes dan asem banget.

Overall enak, cuma sayang dingin dingin anget, klo toppoki dan chicken nya agak panas sedikit kayaknya lebih seru makanya pedes" anget" nikmat 😁
