I heard from a Korean friend that Ongi is the best Korean restaurant in Edinburgh. It was certainly a thriving and popular store. I ordered champon, yukkejang, samgyeopsal, and seafood pancakes, but maybe it was because my expectations were too high, but the taste was just average. I was disappointed that the samgyeopsal did not come with kimchi, raw garlic, or green chili peppers. Was it an extra charge? I ate it grilled on a hot iron plate at the table, but rather than having the waiter grill it for you like you would find at a Korean restaurant, I grilled it myself. The chanpon noodles were flat noodles similar to Japanese kishimen. I felt a little strange because it wasn't the Champon that I'm used to eating, but it was still delicious. Also, having a menu with pictures of the dishes is very helpful when ordering! The customer service from the staff was also great!

Unfortunately, this proved to be a very disappointing experience. Having ordered two starters, two mains, sides etc we were told approx fifteen minutes after ordering that one of the starters was no longer available. Having opted not to order an alternative, the other starter arrived immediately. It was cold. The mains (tikka bhuna and tikka masala) which arrived later also proved to be disappointing. Both tasted almost identcal, and certainely not as expected. The chicken was tough and the sauce unusually thick and almost sticky. The side orders did not arrive. When we queried their absence, it appeared that the waiter did not have enough English to understand our issue. Overall, a very disappointing experience.
