Ikoma, Nara, Japan｜AIGOYA Korean Restaurant

Looking for good Korean food then look no further - Welcome to Aigoya!!! This restaurant has a great atmosphere and fantastic service. You can hear the latest K-Pop songs playing in the background while you dine. The owner and staff are very friendly and nice. The food has a great balance of flavour and spice (although it could’ve been a bit more spicier for me - I really like spicy food). The food gives you a feeling of eating a traditional Korean meal. The portions were very good size and came with a lot of side dishes, which was nice. There is parking across from the restaurant (at Ks Denki/Kohyo) and has a lunch set menu and dinner menu. The restaurant itself isn’t very big but it can get very busy so I suggest making a reservation. I look forward to my next visit at Aigoya.

Go to AIGOYA, a Korean home-cooked restaurant in Ikoma, Nara. Recommended for lunch when I went to see a friend living in Nara. It is a sister store of Korean Izakaya Aiso, a popular store in Ikoma City. The shop is on the 3rd floor of the building in front of Aeon. The inside of the store has a stylish counter seat and an atmosphere that makes it easy for even one person to enter. This restaurant was featured in Kansai TV's Yoi Don's Today's Recommended 3. I ordered a pure tofu jjigae set meal. The clerk will ask you how spicy you want it in advance, so you can eat it to your liking. I ordered normal spiciness. I felt that they were particular about using five-grain rice, which is good for their health. Salad and 3 side dishes (Today's cucumber kimchi, bean sprouts namul, scallion kimchi) The arrived chige is in a hot stone kiln and is boiling. As for the essential taste, there is a moderate amount of spiciness and a slightly different flavor from other stores. It seems that various soup stocks and hidden flavors are included, and it is excellent anyway. I'm convinced that the restaurant is so popular that it is introduced on TV. Possum, kimchi, side dishes, etc. are also available for takeout!

Looking at the reviews, I felt that this restaurant was loved by customers, so I visited for lunch for the first time. The food was delicious and the manager was very personable, so I think that's why the reviews were so good. It's a store that makes you want to support it. I will repeat it again. Next time I want to try the Aigoya set!
