Saw the review of this place on some blog and had to try it for myself. The place is pretty small but packed with a lot of tables and chairs. Service was prompt and the lady was kind enough to explain to us the different cuts of meat. They have a policy where if you have 3 people, you’ll have to order at least 3 portions. No issue for us because who would turn down more meat! Portions are very generous and side dishes were great.

The only Korean BBQ you cook your pork on stones. We arrived at about 8.30pm for dinner and there was still a queue. We waited for about 20min to get a seat. But it was well worth it. We each had to order at least 1 portion of meat. Each portion is not too big, so it’s fine. The pork comes to your table half cooked and they cook it the rest of the way in front of you in stones. Everything tasted amazing and delicious. Definitely recommended for a great meal and experience.

We came here for dinner because we wanted to try a BBQ style restaurant with more pork options. It was cool that we got to cook the meat over hot stones, but the meat kept getting cooked on and stuck to them which was slightly frustrating. The tables were slightly dirty, staff were ok but not overly friendly. The food tasted ok, but in comparison to other similar restaurants we visited in the area, it didn't measure up as well. But it was also cheaper than some of the other places we visited.

Value for money Korean BBQ in the middle of Hongdae. Bit different because they half-cook meats and place it on a bed of black stones that are heated by charcoal on your table. We liked everything we ordered - pork neck (the best for us), beef ribs, pork belly and pork shoulders. Note that they require parties to order one plate per person but it’s still a steal even with that. We went on a Friday night and there was always a queue. Place is not that big but turnover is quite quick.

Great BBQ place! The meat is of good quality and the way they cook it is really special. You would grill the meat on top of hot stones. The price is affordable as well. But don't expect to be served with friendly attitude as all the staff are always very busy.

Small portions for the price paid. For 13,000 won per portion of meat, you'd expect something more. Love the charcoal grill but a real pity about their portion sizes. We ordered one portion of pork belly and pork shoulder and this was all that came.

Love the BBQ pork and beef here. What sets this restaurant apart from the rest was the fact that they use hot stones to cook the meat. The meat slices were really well marinated making it exceptionally delicious! The soybean paste stew was really nice too. A casual dining restaurant suitable for all!

Best bbq mushrooms I had as at now. It’s so juicy! The meat was really good too. The bbq is on top of many stones. Even the water was added few stones too.
