“ Korean restaurant managed by Korean. Even though they have been in Indonesia for a while now. Quality hasn't dropped. The side dishes are top notch. The soups too. They are selling oden and kimbap outside of the store now and both of them are quite good. Definitely recommend this one. ”
“ Meat barbeque taste really good with raw fresh vegetables along with kimchi stew. Street food like tteok-bokki, odeng, mini kimbab with lots of different kind of filling option are also available, the taste also nice. If you choose soup menu, rice is included. Side dish option, tea, and raw vegetables is free if you want to refill. The ambience is quite nice as well for having a nice chat, not too crowded and noisy but no ramen available in the menu. ”
“ Overall a great Korean BBQ spot in the PIK area. Definitely one of my comfort go-to when wanting lots of nicely marinated korean meat (both beef and pork). The seafood pajeon was amazing too. Crispy on the outside and umami on the inside. I definitely did not expect it to be that thick. But was a great unique dish. ”
“ Nice taste of Korean food. The kimchi little bit too sweet for me but its so nice. The fried is good to and not to much breading. The meat is nice and the soup has nice and warming taste. ”
“ Good kbbq at a reasonable price. Nice ambiance to the place, overlooking indomart tower. The pork platter starts at Rp 400,000 and is more than enough for a party of two. The LA galbi is tasty and tender, although the sauce itself is a bit on the sweet side. The galbitang has a strong beefy flavor, but in my opinion, falls a bit short on the flavor of onions that would have really pushed it into being a spectacular dish. Overall, it is a good value for money kbbq for a quick, satisfying dinner or a longer night out with friends. P.S: odeng and various other Korean street foods are served by the entrance of the restaurant. I did not get to try them this time around but they smelled amazing ”
