Doctor Fish Cafe in Kangnam
August 28th, 2007
Recently Doctor fish Cafe is booming in Seoul. There are seemingly two relating enterprise. I went the KangNam brench of NamuGeonul which means Tree Shade for the reason it is located near my house.
This cafe can be found at opposite side of the CGV and 2nd floor of the Teenyweenie shop in KangNam station. You can feel complicated using this cafe because this cafe not only sells beverages and doctor fish service but also gives free bread and coffee service.
Please don’t be panic when you get in there.
First, take your seat and go to the counter , order some drink and doctor fish service. (one person should one item in the beverage list even though there is free coffee service. This is the policy of this place. )
Second, as I menthioned, Bread and Coffee is serviced for free with no limit. Take them as you want. (Be careful! 10,000won penalty for the left-overs )
Third, wait until calling by your name for the beverage you ordered.
(At this time we ordered fresh banana juice and ice fruit flake.)
Fourth, don’t forget the receit when you take the drinks. The receit should be submited for the doctor fish service. Go to the staff near the main windows and show the receit to them if you ordered doctor fish service. Then you can get your number from the staff. You can know your turn by hearing and watching the alarm and sign on the wall.
Below the two pictures are the beverage we ordered. As you see, They look like not yummy. If you eat and drink them, as expected, it sucks! I don’t want to describe for the taste. It was the worst taste ever I had.
Free bread was a bright spot in the misforture. A free pack of jam & butter was served with beverage. I was not sure why I felt it tasty. Probably it was the time I could feel a bit empty. Bread was nice.
Fifth, now it’s the time. I could see my number for the doctor fish service on the sign and hear the alarm sound.
If you put your leg in the water, It would look like this. Some big hot spring out of Seoul we can enjoy this. But in Seoul, in a Cafe.. this is a fresh experience. Fishes eat my foot ^^.
In this cafe, you can use nail art shop with 12000 won. I heard the nail artest was not much skillful. (I didn’t get the service.. I am a man. I do not get used to it. ^^)
There is a bookshelf at a coner. Any customer can use it for his or her reading. The tables, however, are positioned too close. This keep people from reaching over there.
On my way home I took a look at the cafe again. Still crowed. Moreover …
People are in line to take their seat. It shows us it’s very popular cafe.
Fresh Idea and Nice Interior is good enough to attract femalecustomers. Staff are very kind. For this reason I could have a good time. But The quality of the beverage didn’t satify me. Don’t forget this cafe is noisy and hot because of crowded people.
As your date course, just one visit may be OK. There is no positive point to make me visit once again.
