Order the freshly grilled eel if you see it on the specials board. The table-side grilling service means the staff pace the meat for you, so sit back and let them work the charcoal. This is old-school Korean hospitality done right.
You walk into a two-story room with beige walls and wooden tables fitted with individual barbecue stoves. The space runs casual and functional, built for groups who come to grill meat and stay late.
The kitchen is led by traditional Korean chefs, and the Korean owner makes rounds between tables to check how the food is landing. Staff handle the grilling at your table, turning charcoal-prepared sirloin and tenderloin over the flames while you work through banchan. The ssamjang dip comes thick, made from soybean paste, hot pepper paste, onion, garlic, and sesame oil.
The BBQ menu lists sirloin at 650 baht per 200 grams, marinated beef at 650 baht for 150 grams, and prime ribs at 550 baht for the same portion. Beyond the grill, the kitchen turns out bibimbap for 250 baht, spicy stir-fried pork and tteokbokki for 300 baht each, and kimchijjigae at 250 baht. Freshly grilled eel appears as a rare specialty when available. Bottles of Chum Churum soju run 280 baht.
The meal ends with watermelon and ginger-cinnamon tea. A private room upstairs seats up to 60 guests for larger gatherings. Parking is available, and the kitchen stays open until 11:30 PM every night. Dinner reservations are recommended, especially on weekends when the room fills with Korean expat regulars and Thai families who know the menu.
