the food here is great. I love the brisket and galbi. we got the course B and the good thing about it is that you get a huge portion (i suggest it for three people). the cuts of meat are super high quality. i also always get a side of naengmyeon and it has such a great broth. the service is great as they cook it for you. i would totally suggest this place for birthdays, or special occasions like anniversaries. however, its also good for other occasions like when your friend is coming from out of town. you could always share a platter of meat and each person can order a soup. overall, great experience, have already been 4 times!
My in-laws took me here for my birthday dinner, and the food did not disappoint. The food was good (fresh meat, good banchan, cold naeng myun...), and as packed and busy as they were, the service was friendly and quick. We had a reservation, but I saw the how bad the wait can be without one. And when we were leaving, the parking lot was JAMMED FULL with cars... it took some time for the poor valet guy to Jenga all the cars to get to ours. It's not AYCE and is quite pricey, but it's definitely worth it!
I was really impressed with service and quality of food! We got combo B with side of cold noodles for 5 people. The quality of meat was amazing and they provide so many delicious banchan! They also cook the meat for you if you don't like to cook it yourself. The cold noodles was on point! For big groups, highly recommend to make rsvp. The staff was really sweet when I had a birthday cake for friends & they kindly stored it in the fridge and brought it out for us. Warning that parking is usually best if you can street park. It's like that all over ktown in general :) they have a small lot to valet. We got lucky with street parking.
I love coming here for the Soowon galbi and nengmyun (buckwheat cold noodles). Been coming here for years and it always taste great! They have a wide variety of dishes on their menu from fish to soup as well as other meats. If you can't choose, you can always choose one of their combos ranging from $120 and up which comes with a selection of meats, soup and rice. Service is pretty good for a Korean bbq. They cook and cut all of your meats. Our server did a great job. I would come early to beat a dinner rush or call in and make a reservation!
It was a Saturday evening, around 8:30 PM, and we were seriously craving some Korean BBQ, specifically, galbee. I'd heard numerous folks mention this place, but I hadn't had the chance to check it out. As luck would have it, we happened to be in Ktown that day, so we decided to make a pit stop. The restaurant is tucked away in a corner of a plaza, and the parking situation is valet-only for $4. The restaurant has a slightly older vibe, but it's clean and surprisingly not very crowded for a Saturday night. Fortunately, we were seated pretty swiftly. Their menu boasts a variety of meat options. It's worth noting that this isn't an all-you-can-eat joint; you can either order a combo of meats or go a la carte. After some deliberation, we decided to forgo the combo since it was just the two of us.
