Sa Ri One

Welcome to restaurant reviews for goginchow. This is the food ninja giving you my take on Sa Ri One Korean restaurant in Tampa  a nice little place right off the 275. Small but cozy, the service was pretty friendly, prices reasonable. Our waitress seemed to be pretty occupied but the food was good. The two soups we ordered were unique in their own ways. The seafood tofu soup was great tasteful and spicy. The pork tripe and intestine soup not so much, a liver over powering flavor in a bland watered down broth. The squid in a sweet red chilli sauce that's supposed to be spicy, but I didn't think so. It was more sauce then squid not, one of my favorites but as far as the galbi beef, that I give two thumbs up. The squid tempura, again bland. Although the little side dishes were fresh and had a good flavor that were served with our meal at no extra charge. Over all the experience there was just ok.  So I would say going to this place is like a roll of the dice. So from the food ninja to you, this place is a gamble. well as I always say please enjoy.

Hi everyone.  This is Shadow.  Pretty good place for Korean in Tampa.  Small place, clean with friendly service.  The menu is pretty extensive and had a lot of nice colorful pictures that really helped to give an idea of what the dishes looked like.  So many choices it was hard to decide and looking at all the pictures really made me hungry.  The tempura squid I was not too crazy about, typical tempura style, but I did not really feel it worked well with squid, greasy and bland.  I loved the Seafood Tofu soup.  It came to the table still boiling in a ceramic pot, nice flavors here.  The tripe and intestine soup, might just be an acquired taste, but I could not get paste the strong liver flavor coming from the pieces of intestine, the vegetables in the soup were cooked well and tested good.  The galbi beef was excellent.  The squid with chili sauce for two came in a very generous portion (enough for 4 people, though the waitress did warn us it was a lot of food), I felt it was a tad too sweet and for the price I wish they did put some more squid in the dish.  I also enjoyed the side appetizer dishes that came complementary with the meal like most Korean places.  Overall, yes some dishes are a hit or miss, but I would still definitely recommend this place and I will definitely be back.

Asia Fest 2012, Tampa (April 28, 2012)

Welcome to the go-gin-chow restaurant reviews from Ninja. Lets discuss Tampa Asia Fest 2012. I enjoyed it completely. It had great entertainment with traditional dances  from different Asian countries, very nice and the food was delicious.  Still think they needed more vendors, but very good food again at great prices  and affordable. They also had dragon boat races in the channel that got  part of the crowd excited and energized. The other part was engulfed and intrigued by the entertainment being heartfully performed by the people on stage while they nourished themselves with some great food and cold beverages. Here is a helpful hint get there early and bring your own lawn chair so you  can find a good place to park and you always have a place to sit. So this is Ninja try to make the next Asia Fest,  you won't regret it. Enjoy!

Asian Cultural Festival, Alalon Park, Orlando (May 12, 2012)

Hello, I am ninja giving my review for go-gin-chow restaurants reviews. My take on Asian Cultural Festival Orlando, great location, it was delivered well, uplifting and entertaining. The environment was pleasurable and happy. Everybody seemed to enjoy the entertainment and authentic food at a great cost.  What great bargains the only thing that it lacked was not enough vendors. We need more, but the vendors that were there did their  job and served up some great food at great prices. The food came from Thailand,Vietnam, Philippines, and Korea, good people.  Each country serving up their authentic dishes that you had some great choices, but not enough.  We need more choices,  but enough to keep the people content. At this festival you felt welcomed and relaxed so if you get a chance to go to the next Asian fest in Orlando or Tampa it would be worth your time. They also had some great stands that had some nice wonderful trinkets that were priced right. So take it from me, Ninja, you will enjoy.
