Jongro BBQ

The beef intestines here are quite good. The last time I came with four people, we couldn’t finish everything because it gets filling pretty quickly. The kimchi soup was decent, and my favorite dish was the steamed eggs. The service was good and stable, and the beef dish shown in the photo that I ordered was also very delicious.

Jongro BBQ was an incredible experience and the perfect place for my first time trying Korean food. I went with my friend, Chef Tae Lee, who insisted this was one of the most authentic spots in the city — and he was absolutely right. From the moment we walked in, the restaurant had that lively, energetic atmosphere that makes Korean BBQ so fun and communal. We ordered one of the platters, and everything was exceptionally fresh and beautifully marbled. Cooking the food right in the middle of the table made the experience even more special — the aromas, the sizzle, and the whole interactive element made the meal feel exciting and immersive. The staff was helpful and attentive, guiding us through the process and making sure everything was cooked perfectly. The flavors were incredible. Each cut of meat was tender, juicy, and seasoned just right, and the side dishes added so much brightness and balance to the meal. You can tell they take real pride in serving truly authentic Korean BBQ, and it shows in every bite. For a first Korean meal, I couldn’t have asked for a better introduction. Jongro BBQ delivered amazing food, great service, and an unforgettable dining experience. I can’t wait to come back and try even more dishes. Highly recommend!

kbbq lovers need to check out jongro for top tier meat, fun vibes, and amazing service. the best part is their tuesday deal where you get 25% off your total order if you wear a red or white tracksuit because who doesn’t love a good deal. the meat quality here is seriously impressive, super fresh and tender with every bite. the servers are also incredibly attentive, which makes the whole experience even better. my fav side dishes were the cheese corn and steamed egg, both cooked on the side burner right next to you so you know it’s piping hot and fresh. they also offer a really solid lunch special with their pork cutlet, perfect if you want a great meal at a great price. don’t forget to check out their andong soju as well; it’s perfect for a night out with friends!

First time here and the place has a cool vibe. We didn’t have to wait for a table which was a plus. We ordered the spicy stir fried octopus, prime marinated kalbi, and the pork platter. The meats were fresh and tasted delicious though the kalbi and pork platter felt a bit overpriced. Total came out around $250. For the price, I expected rice to be included but it wasn’t. The servers were somewhat attentive but not very friendly. We asked to change the pork platter to a large pork platter within less than five minutes of ordering but were told it was too late to make the change. Since the food hadn’t been prepared yet, we didn’t understand why they couldn't make a change. I also wish they offered more individual pork options as the selection felt very limited. Overall, it was an okay experience but I’d likely try other places before coming back.

Food was pretty standard for K-Town. The meat was fresh and high quality, we didn't get any marinated meat so wouldn't be able to say how that compared. The side dishes could've been better. The service was pretty good as we never had to cook our own food like some other places. The place had a cool vibe and I would go back. There is also long line for the elevator but it actually moved pretty quickly and we didn't actually wait for a table on a Saturday night.
