Review for: Grilled Beef Ribs Course

Great and attentive service. We ordered a set menu instead of the full royal course and it was already too much for us. Overall, great experience in Seoul.

Review for: Janggeum Manchan

The service in the restaurant is very good and the food is full of delicious food. This time I ordered a long meal. Most of the dishes were good, but some waiters did not introduce the dishes when they served them. After finishing the dishes, I didn’t know what I was eating, but overall it was still good. Very good and worth a try

The food is not as good as advertised on the platform, the taste is acceptable. The CP value is not enough.

Review for: Grilled Beef Ribs Course

A good meal to recommend, good taste .... I thought it was enough ... in the end, it was enough. The beef was super super super super delicious, but it was a little farther away. I had to take a bus to the subway when I left.
