Huwon - Puebla

Can’t express with words how delicious their food is.

Not bad for Korean food in Mexico. Could use a few more of the pickled vegetables you would find in other Korean joints. But overall pretty good. Plan on sharing plates, portions are good size. 2 plates fed our family of four. Most plates 100 pesos.

The food is really good, I’ve been there a couple of times. It reminds me of the great time I’d spend with my friends in Koreatown (LA). The only issue is that when it was my first time there with friends we were ordering and the waitress kept telling us “no, you can’t order that” we were so confused. She didn’t explain why she just kept saying no so it took us about 30mins to order something. Also, they don’t accept cards soo keep that in mind when you’re going. Other than that issue, it’s a really good place and I really recommend it and I’d love if in the future they add mochi to the menu.

Maybe this place was good a year or two ago. The spicy sauce for Bibim Bab tasted like hoisin sauce with chili flakes. It shouldn’t be sweet but it was. Kimchi was not well fermented, not sour and quite salty. Kimchi soup was decent but didn’t have a lot of taste you’d expect. I’m not saying this place is bad. I am saying it’d be a disservice to compare it to restaurants in Downtown LA or the Bay Area. Service was great though.

Surprised to find this very authentic Korean restaurant in Puebla. The owner has been working as a cook for a Korean car company in Mexico for several years before he opened his own restaurant in Puebla more than ten years ago. If you like Korean BBQ and Kim-chi, this is the restaurant when you are in Puebla.
