About

The Spicy Review is created by two friends who love Korean Dining.

We are Anna and Dan, and this is our joint restaurant review blog.

Anna used to live with Korean flatmates in Auckland and really enjoyed the culture of cooking and drinking together. Dan lived in Korea where he did a university exchange course. Every week we go to a Korean restaurant where we eat, drink and enjoy each other's company.

Our reviews are merely our own personal opinions and it is our intention that you use them only as a guide.

Our palettes

We're both open to try new and exciting foods whilst we love and ador our classic favourites such as spicy BBQ pork and kimchi soup.

Everyone's tastes are different. By telling you a little about ours we hope that you'll be able to develop your own taste for the cuisine.

Korean dining can be as adventurous as you want it to be.
