Review of Kami Poke - Tallahassee

Tallahassee, Florida

---

This Korean restaurant just recently opened in town, and I decided that I wanted to try it out. This restaurant has taken important measures to prevent the infection and spread of COVID-19. Customers have to order through a little cut-out from the front door, where they are also handed their takeout food. This is actually a neat idea, if a place doesn't have a drive-thru window.

I ordered the spicy seafood noodle soup, which was about $17 dollars, including tip. This came with rice and kimchi. I split the Korean fried chicken wings with two other friends (we made sure not to touch each other's food). We got ten of the soy garlic. I ended up paying $3-4 for my share.

The wait was normal for the amount of food I got and expected since it didn't seem like many people were working there at the time. The worker in the front was nice and polite.

Now for the taste, the spicy seafood noodle soup had stuff like shrimp, mussels, squid, green onion, broccoli, and bean sprouts. The mussels were my favorite as they were light, and soaked up the flavor well. The soup wasn't as spicy as I thought it would be, but thankfully it didn't burn my tongue. However, it and the Korean ramen lost their excitement once the seafood was gone. At the same time, this has happened to me with other Korean ramens, so it might just be the type. I'd give it a 7/10.

The Korean fried chicken wings were my favorite. They weren't oily/greasy or wet on the outside, but flaky. The inside was moist and warm. The soy garlic sauce elevated the taste. You would think a sauce like this would be overwhelming, but it wasn't. Paired with the rice, it was amazing. I'd give it a 10/10.

The food definitely makes me want to go back and order more. Overall, I'm happy and full!
