When I saw someone posted about this place here, I got excited to try this place out. Finally, a “decent” samgyupsal place - decent meaning somehow similar to what I’ve tried in SoKor.

Giving out 2.5/5 for this place.

I’ll list out my pros and cons for this place.

Pros:

1. Meats are sold at per plate depending on the type of cut. Wide selection of meats from pork belly, pork jowl, pork skirt, beef, chicken, etc.
2. They also offer a set plate good for 2-3 persons if you opt out for the ala carte meats.
3. Price starts at 400+ for their meats. Quite pricey, but still good for the quality of meat they are serving.
4. Def a plus point for me that the staff cooks grills the meat for me. This ensures that the meat is cooked right, and at the same time we will just enjoy eating.
5. Staff are friendly and approachable.
6. They are open until 1AM.

Cons:

1. Grill was too small. It took awhile to cook for the 4 types of meat we ordered.
2. Short staffed. We went at around 9pm and I think they didn’t expect for a lot of customers to come in at that time. We had to repeat our additional orders several times before they came in.
3. Disappointed again with their grill. They placed the steam egg and kimchi on the sides of the grill. Our egg and kimchi got burnt before we could eat them. It was inconvenient to reach out for these side dishes while they were grilling. They could have served the steamed egg in a different pot, and the kimchi on a plate.
4. Although the side dishes were refillable, there were only minimal selection of side dishes. Wish they had soup as their side dish.
5. They used AI-generated photos for their menus. As a resto, they should have taken actual photos of their selection as much as possible. The AI-generated photos looked unappetizing.

Would I come here again? Probably, but it would not be somewhere I would crave for. Would I recommend it to a friend? Less likely. Worth the money? Not entirely, had better K-bbq for the same price somewhere else.

This place has potential. I hope they change the grill so that they can cook more meat on the grill at the same time.
