A while back, reader recommended Miso Korean Restaurant to me. Up till now, I've mainly pretty much gone exclusively to Lum Lum for Korean food as the food there is great and it's just a few doors down from my office - can't get more convenient than that! ...But it's good to try something new as well, and I'm glad I did! ..So it was...Miso (sometimes spelt Misone), a comfortable and unpretentious restaurant in the trendy Nimmanhaemin Area.

There are 3 dining areas. The two indoor air-conditoned rooms are quite plain but comfortable enough, the outdoor section is quite nice. The food is great, and very good value too!

The Dolsot Bibimbab, 120 baht, (Rice with various vegies and egg served in a stone dish), another one of my favourite Korean dishes is very nicely done as well. It's served with some korean chilli paste, which I found to have a nice blend of soy bean flavour, and not overwhelmingly spicy, and comes with 3 side dishes as well.
The side dishes are all lovely, particularly the firm tofu with sesame oil and chilli - really good! You also get free refills, which is a nice touch.
Miso Korean Restaurant also has other typical Korean dishes such as Toukbokky (very spicy!), kimbab (korean sushi), lunch and dinner buffets (seem like great value as well).
In the end, it was a very enjoyable meal. The food is certainly very good here. I sat chatting with my friend quite late in the night, and the staff was very nice to keep refilling our water, and we felt very comfortable sitting there for a while. I noticed too, that there were a lot of Korean patrons, which is always a great sign!
