★★★★★Ariel Jiang7 months ago

Took a little bit of looking around to find this gem hidden in an alley. Glad to have found this place which caters Korean bbq to solo diners. Arrived on a Sat night and they were full. Spoke with the Lady owner who speaks English, she told me to come back 30 min later and all was good. Atmosphere was cosy, music was good (they played Beatles and the likes), quality of beef and accompaniments were good. Thoroughly enjoyed my dinner there. 260g of beef with beer and rice for just over W40,000. Good value for me! Hope to come back again!

Beef Top Blade & Beef of Today - 36800 Won Discovered this place through my random internet search for solo korean bbq, and I have to say it did not disappoint. Meat is legit and not the thin slices kind (like the other solo bbq that basically is japanese yakiniku kind). They also provide charcoal for the cooking instead of electric even if it's for one person. The kkaenip was the most surprising for me, because I didn't like the raw leave as it is, but the way they do it here, it complemented the beef so well. I love it. The atmosphere was decent, feels like a place to drink and eat. However, I do recommend making a reservation. I went on New Year Eve without reservation and had to speed up my eating because I need to finish by a certain time. If I ever return, I will make sure I make reservation so I can enjoy the grilling longer. It wasn't hard to find the place, which was in a small alley. But for ladies, it may be intimidating to walk into the alley. However, I find it okay because it's just next to the main street. There is also a small dog inside, make sure you don't accidentally step on it like I almost do. Lol. On a side note, I ordered ala carte instead of the solo set because I don't drink, and I didn't want the other sides that they have with the set. I just want the meat. And it was a right decision. I do recommend coming but not with high expectations. It just a local kbbq bar that is solo friendly. They still serve groups. Both the ladies can speak English (one of them is better than the other), and there were quite a few expat customers when I was there. They are not the most friendly, but I don't really need them to be since I just want to eat silently. Lastly, also make sure you have cash with you because my foreign card couldn't go through on their machine.
