Slightly sketchy area, (and I say that from living in a 2 mile radius from this place for the last 8 years.) Besides that, the food was amazing. Went with a half bbq #3 for 2 people. The amount of meat and 11 types of sides, soup and boiled egg just absolutely stuffed us both and it was pretty damn delicious to!
I ADORE this place, I always come for the Korean BBQ! I think this was my 5th time coming here. It is always always delicious and i always eat more than i thought i could haha i have gotten both the beef combo(Combo #2) and the pork combo(Combo #3) they’re both DELICIOUS. I love all the little side dishes that come with the BBQ meats, especially the kimchi and the egg. And i like the little yogurt drinks they give you at the end they’re fruity. They have really good Soju here too and the upstairs bar is small but very nice. Haven’t done the Karaoke yet but i intend to ASAP haha the photos here are from several different visits. Just plan on spending a lot more if you have a bunch of people with you and plan on sharing everything haha
The staff's politeness and the proprietor's warm reception would make even my harshest critic nod in approval. The culinary offerings here are a symphony of authenticity, reminiscent of my South Korean roots and daringly comparable to the most esteemed Korean BBQ establishments gracing the motherland. The masterful grill work over fragrant hardwood charcoal leads to an aromatic dance that bewitches the senses and culminates in flavors that border on the divine. Our host, a paragon of hospitality, forges connections with returning diners, turning them into cherished regulars. A mere trio of visits transforms you into a VIP, bestowing you with a treasure trove of gratis delights – from the sea-kissed Pajeon to effervescent quenchers and finger-licking fried indulgence, among other pleasures. Each dish unveiled before you possesses an eternal freshness, while an awe-inspiring medley of side dishes consistently astounds. The most astonishing part? These delightful complements are yours for the taking, bestowed without extra charge, permitting you to relish without restraint. I would give 5 stars!!!!
My food was ready pretty quickly. I ordered pork dumplings and moved them. Parking was hard to find. There is paid street parking on that very street but most spots were taken. The place was not too crowded but I had to signal waiters to get their attention.
The food is still good but went recently and the service was really really really slow. We waited over 30 minutes before someone took our orders and refills on water were non-existent. There is a card on the table that says customers should be more responsible for cooking but the server came to say they were going to cook which gave a sense of awkwardness and unclarity.
Jong Kak, a restaurant that has captured my heart. The proprietors and staff consistently extend warm and friendly hospitality to patrons, often treating us to delectable Banchan, showcasing the authenticity of Korean cuisine. During my visit, I savored the exquisite flavors of Kalbi, Prime Beef Rib, and Jab Chae, the Korean fried Noodle. Without a doubt, these dishes rank among the most delicious I have ever tasted. Being a student at Johns Hopkins University, I find it incredibly convenient to reach this establishment via the Hopkins Night Ride service. In my estimation, Jong Kak deserves an outstanding rating of 1000 stars! My heartfelt thanks to Jong Kak for their exceptional dining experience.
A GRAND TIME! A group of four headed to this spot after an art show we attended about 15mins away. We arrived close to 11pm. They asked if we were doing BBQ and immediately seated at a grill table in the back. Pak was our waiter and was amazing on the grill and telling us what ti mix. We did combo 1 which was more than enough food for the 4 of us. We laughed and ate til our stomach couldn't take it. Would definitely return when I'm in the area especially finding out there is a karaoke bar upstairs. Only thing is you have to order carryout instead of getting the grill experience.
A place to eat Korean food with BBQ available. We ordered spicy buckwheat noodles and bbq. The noodles were spicy, literally, and unfortunately the bbq was not as good as we expect. It's not half bad, but doesn't worth the price tag. Menus other than the bbqs are worth to try though.
Bill and Tonya were INCREDIBLE hosts. The breakfast was delicious, the room was spacious and well maintained. Also, Zulu was the cutest company for our breakfasts. Truly the only place weâll ever stay in Baltimore.
