Tried Five-K, a delightful haven for comfort Asian cuisine, conveniently nestled near the Spui halte in Den Haag. Its strategic location makes it an ideal spot for both locals and visitors.
Upon first glance, the interior may appear a bit dim from the outside, but stepping inside reveals a spacious and inviting area adorned with charming Asian pop culture and anime posters that add a unique touch to the ambiance.
I sought the waiter’s recommendation and was pleasantly surprised with an off-menu delight: pan-fried marinated beef with soy sauce, served with fragrant rice and aromatic leaves that elevated the dish’s scent and flavor. Apologies for forgetting its name, but it was an a really nice culinary dish.
We also savored the Curry Chicken Cheese Katsu, a dish perfectly balancing crispiness and a rich cheese coating. Another highlight was the Home Town Duck, a sumptuous dish that came with the usual accompaniments of rice, radish (I believe), and fresh sla, creating a refreshing contrast.
We sampled the ramen as well, which was good, but their rice dishes truly stood out for us. Five-K is located among other renowned Asian restaurants, and though relatively new, it’s definitely worth a visit for its distinctive and delectable offerings.
