Grainivore - Koreatown

Grainivore - Koreatown

koreatown  

Grainivore is newly opened Singaporian place in Koreatown. The menu is very simple, you pick from 4 items and comes with rice and salad. You choose from Hainan chicken, barbecued pork, beef rendang, and shrimp paste chicken (fried chicken). Everything is $6.99 except Beef Rendang.
If you go between 12-2pm, you get 20% off. Also free soda with yelp chck-in.

The blonde girl who helped me was really nice, she let me sampled beef and a piece of chicken! She was really nice but the other guy who was there, he was kinda rude.

Simple menu

I got Beef Rendang with chicken rice $7.84.

As you can see, salad is basically plain not so green lettuce. Also the portion of the meat was really small. I get only this much meat for $8? The food wasn't bad at all but it's not worth $8. I'd pay $4 but I won't pay more than that. Do you know how much food you can get for $8 in Koreatown??

Beef was very tender, cooked in coconut milk.

Last year, when Currywurst just opened, they were giving away free hotdogs. Normally it's $6.50, not cheap but they are good. Vegan sausages are available too.
