FROM OTHER DINERS
Really enjoyed this spot! The pork belly and pork neck were super juicy and flavorful—especially with the sauces and sides they recommend. The Bongwangjung stew was the real standout—rich, comforting, and just hits the spot. Price is on the higher side, but honestly worth it fo
The pork belly was delicious and the cold kimchee noodles I got was exactly what I needed on a hot day. Really enjoyed my lunch here. The only thing is in most barbecue places in South Korea, you need to order more at least 2 main entrees which sucks when you are dining alone. So
Came here for a late night dinner and the food was absolutely great!! They offer a set which lets you try the best of KBBQ. The staff is super friendly and attentive and they made the whole experience even enjoyable. Literally the best meal of my trip hands down.
