Red Pepper

It would be so easy to walk past this place if you did not know it was there as it is tucked away in Shop 4 at 50 High St, down a short passage way. Visible from the road, but not highly. It is next to a few other restaurants just off Victoria St on High St. It has got some of the menu displayed just as you enter and also lets you know it makes the traditional Korean pancake of three varieties — kimchi, seafood and pork. Also this place uses no MSG, and in the pancakes no flour or sugar. You go in past an open kitchen into a fairly decent dining space of which around the walls has several blackboards. Some do let you know specials, monthly and daily… but a lot of the blackboard space is taken up by random writings /​scriblings from customers of whatever. Unfortunately is all in Korean… so I have absolutely no idea what it all says. But you can somehow assume it is all random stuff. Anyway more importantly about the food. They welcome you and attend to you quickly showing you a table if need be, bring water and menu. When the waiter did come to take the order he knelt /​crouched down so he was on the same level as us to talk. We liked this as sometimes I hate being spoken down to by waiting staff. To me makes the service more friendly. We ordered the Seafood Ramen and a Hambak Steak which both came out pretty quickly. I noticed in the other tables the level of service and speed was just the same. Our meals were delicious and cannot fault. I can see a return visit at some point to sample some more of thier options and fantastic service!!!
