The ground floor is barbecue and the upstairs is regular Korean restaurant. Marinated Beef Bibimbap in Stone Bowl ($22.8): The beef slices and the sunny eggs on top mixed with the rice have always been a great combo and adding the hot sauce improves the flavour even more. However, I hope the bottom rice can be crispy like the ones I used to have. On the other hand, the marinated eggs is the best Korean side dish Iโve tried. Peach Earlgrey Tea Zero ($4.5): Iโve never tried or heard of this Korean drink and it tastes amazing highly recommend trying this drink. Iโve gone past this restaurant for a few times but it has always been a long waiting queue (maybe for barbecue). Upstairs (regular) is way less crowded than downstairs (bbq). Overall, itโs a great chance to have bibimbap again after a long time and genuinely enjoyed the food. The staff are also nice and reasonable prices for its portion sizes, 9 out of 10!
verything was excellent. The meals are authentic and delicious. Even as a lonely diner I felt welcome and thoroughly comfortable in my spot! Service was great and I will definitely go back.
Everyone enjoyed the food. The staff werenโt very smiley, but they were polite and helpful, and it looked like they were having a hard time working in the heat. The downstairs area was extremely hot, while the upstairs was cool even though people were grilling meat. We asked if we could move upstairs because it was too hot, but only customers doing BBQ were allowed to sit upstairs. The food itself was good, but the complimentary side dishes were quite disappointing.
The food is very authentic, we have been here many times and a wide range of complimentary side dishes. Best Korean food in the CBD. Also recommend their Maru grill house a short distance away.
One of my favourite Korean restaurants! They have two floors: one dedicated to Korean BBQ and another for regular Korean dishes. Thereโs a wide variety of menu items to choose from, and they offer different daily specials. The staff are always friendly and attentive, making every visit enjoyable. Highly recommend!
