Oiso had a nice calm cafe feel to it and the food was delicious. The cold noodles really stood out for me, and I also loved the tacos with yummy gochujang sauce.

My sister and I stopped by for a quick lunch, and we were immediately charmed by the quaint and cute interior of the café. The process was straightforward—order and pay at the till, then relax as the server brings your food and drinks. The atmosphere was delightful, and we had no complaints in that regard.
We ordered a variety of dishes: Makkuksoo Cold Noodles, Milssam Tacos, pork belly sooyook, and Korean stew with rice. Every dish was a hit. The Makkuksoo, while different from the traditional cold noodles we’re used to, was bursting with flavor and refreshingly light. The gochujang on the Milssam Tacos was incredibly addictive—I could have easily eaten more. The Korean stew had just the right balance of acidity from the kimchi juice, and the pork sooyook was superbly delicious, especially when paired with the kimchi and white onion salad.
Overall, it was a thoroughly satisfying meal, and we would definitely return.

Oiso Kimchi Cafe may look unremarkable at first glance, but don’t let its modest appearance fool you. When I initially browsed their menu, I have to admit, I was underwhelmed and uncertain about what to order. However, once I took that first bite, my expectations were completely overturned. The cold noodles were crisp and refreshing, offering the perfect relief on a warm day, while the ramyeon had a rich, savory broth and noodles cooked to just the right texture. Honestly, this cafe ranks among the best Korean dining experiences I’ve had. My visit to Oiso Kimchi Cafe completely changed my perspective, and it’s a hidden gem I’d gladly return to.

I wanted to try a few new things. We got delivery and everything was fresh and delicious! First time having tteokbokki, seaweed roll, and dalgona coffee. Pictured on my plates at home. Good prices!

Loved going here for the first time, the food was good and considering prices nowadays, they are in a good price range.
There is a decent amount of seating though we went during late lunch so it wasn't too busy that we couldn't get a table for 5.
I would highly recommend the Ramyeon as the flavour is fantastic.

Was a one man show working the whole restaurant. Food came out in a reasonable time. For 4 of us maybe 15 mins. The cold noodle was amazing! Not spicy even tho it was kimchi base. Was very tasty and refreshing. One of the best I’ve had
