    Authentic Korean restaurant in São Paulo, every option won't disappoint you. I personally love to eat one of their stews in a cold weather day. Today we had Korean barbecue.

    korean food is very fashionable nowadays. must be thanks to netflix which is flooding stream television with korean series. before the pandemic, and this korean frenzy, I had several good & honest meals in this restaurant that offers korean barbecue and other specialties. nevertheless, I had better food in others, now extinct, korean restaurants. but that's in the past. during the pandemic, a delivery service was offered, but it worked in a such ridiculous time frame that I never had the chance to order from them. so I discovered some korean dark kitchens located in koreatown that offer frequently better food. now that the pandemic is less violent than before and we dare to go to a restaurant, It is possible to have better & cheaper food in more charming korean restaurants located outside chinatown. the problem with this restaurant, nowadays, is that the opening hours are even more strict than before and it closes too soon for brazilian standards: if this restaurant goal is serving the asian community only and ignore local habits, well, they are succeeding. after the 3rd time I tried to dine at this overcrowded restaurant that closes too soon and I couldn't, becs there was too long a waiting line or they plainly stop accepting guests 45 minutes before closing time, even on saturday nite with a half empty house, I decided to cut this restaurant and its just OK food from my restaurant list. too much effort for too little in return.

    Great place for a quick lunch with family or friends. The food is delicious and with many options. Very clean and good service as well. I like that they have exhaustors over every bbq grill, so you don't leave with the smell of the foos on your clothes.

  • 4/5 Ramon P. 4 months ago on Google • 33 reviews
    I liked the place. The food was pretty authentic. The kimchi was spicy and not too toned down for brazilian tastes. The owners were also very friendly! My main complaint is that the banchan is not free if you ask for more. Charging for banchan and extra kimchi is a no no in any korean restaurant so this left me disappointed. Thats why minus one star.

    We discovered this restaurant by chance, ordering delivery and we loved the food so much. So we decided to visit the restaurant and as expected, they didn't disappoint us at all. Food is really really really good. Authentic taste! Double thumps up! But the service is really slow. At the time I went there, it was not even busy hour and had only few tables. However, the staff were super nice. Surely will visit again soon.

    (Translated by Google) I thought the experience of making meat at the point we want is great. I also think that I would have eaten three more side dishes and two that had pepper, I would not ask. So the option to choose would be better. The service is great and the place too. I'll be back for sure (Original) Achei ótima a experiência de fazer a carne no ponto que a gente quer. Acho só também que eu teria comido mais três acompanhamentos e dois que tinham pimenta, eu não pediria. Então a opção de escolher seria melhor. O atendimento é ótimo e o lugar também. Volto com certeza

  • 4/5 charly h. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The food is very tasty, but you need to keep insisting the waiters increase the grill heat and they still insist that it is to cook meat over low heat. The price is steep. (Original) A comida é muito gostosa, mas precisa ficar insistindo pros garçons aumentarem o fogo da grelha e eles ainda insistem que é pra cozinhar carne em fogo baixo. O preço é salgado.

  • 4/5 Armando S. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The bulgogi with all the accompaniments is well worth it. Thin slices of marinated kebabs in a very tasty seasoning, which you grill yourself on the table. Then they changed the plate and we tried another dish that consisted of grilling the pan (without seasoning) in the butter. And we ate with a salt-based sesame oil sauce. Interesting, but after trying the super-tasty bulgogi, this bump let me down a bit in terms of taste. The grilles and their hoods already built into the table itself have many advantages but have the problem of limiting the use of the table. We went in two, sat at a collective table that would fit up to 8 people. But this table for 8 only has 2 grids, which limits the number of people that can be served simultaneously. The vast majority of customers end up opting for Korean barbecues. On the other grid of this table were two other girls. That is, 8 people could be served, but only 4 were using this community table. I understand this is the side effect of trying to provide more convenience with the grill and hoods installed on the table. For those who are already sitting is better. Unfortunately, those waiting in line need to wait longer, although there are empty seats at the tables. Another problem with this type of restaurant is that waiters do not usually instruct customers on how to use the grill. After the grilled meat the normal thing would be to put the fire off the grill, right? To make it difficult, fire control is under the table. Many customers don't bother to put out, and the fire often burns the grill, causing a smoke and burning smell that could be easily avoided by the most attentive and careful waiters. But anyway, you can't just leave it to the waiters, any customer with a minimum of common sense should bother with the smoke and take action to prevent it, right? Anyone who has ever fried an egg in his life would know what to do. (Original) O bulgogi com todos os acompanhamentos vale muito a pena. Fatias finas de contra-filé marinado num tempero bem saboroso, que você mesmo grelha na propria mesa. Depois trocaram a chapa e experimentamos um outro prato que consistia em grelhar a panceta (sem tempero) na manteiga. E comiamos com um molho a base de óleo de gergelim e sal. Interessante, mas depois de experimentar o super-saboroso bulgogi, essa panceta me decepcionou um pouco, em termos de sabor. As grelhas e os respectivos exaustores já embutidos na própria mesa tem muitas vantagens mas tem o problema de limitar a utilização da mesa. Fomos em dois, sentamos numa mesa coletiva que caberia até 8 pessoas. Mas essa mesa pra 8 só tem 2 grelhas, o que limita o numero de pessoas que podem ser atendidas simultaneamente. A grande maioria dos clientes acaba optando pelos churrascos coreanos. Na outra grelha desta mesa estavam outras duas garotas. Ou seja, 8 pessoas poderiam ser atendidas, mas somente 4 estavam utilizando essa mesa comunitária. Entendo que esse é o efeito colateral de tentar proporcionar mais comodidade com a grelha e exaustores instalados na mesa. Pra quem ja está sentado é melhor. Infelizmente quem está esperando na fila precisa esperar mais, apesar de haver assentos vazios nas mesas. Outro problema desse tipo de restaurante é que os garçons não costumam instruir os clientes sobre como utilizar a grelha. Depois das carnes grelhadas o normal seria você apagar o fogo da grelha, certo? Pra dificultar, o controle do fogo fica embaixo da mesa. Muitos clientes não se preocupam em apagar, e o fogo frequentemente chega a queimar a grelha, provocando uma fumaça e cheiro de queimado que poderiam ser facilmente evitados por garçons mais atentos e cuidadosos. Mas enfim, também não dá pra deixar somente na conta dos garçons, qualquer cliente com um mínimo de bom-senso deveria se incomodar com a fumaca e tomar ações para evitar isso, certo? Qualquer um que já tenha fritado um ovo na vida saberia o que fazer.

    (Translated by Google) I just went. The food is really delicious and the lady and the staff are very friendly. It is said to be a popular restaurant among locals. Plus service! If you come to Brazil, you want to go back (Original) 방금 다녀왔습니다. 음식 정말 맛있고, 여사장님과 종업원이 매우 친절합니다. 현지인들한테도 인기많은 음식점이라고 하네요~ 또한 맛집으로 상도 많이 수상하셨다고 합니다! 거기다 서비스까지! 브라질오면 다시가고 싶은 맛집입니다~

    (Translated by Google) It was amazing! I heard that you need to wait there on weekends and holidays, so I decided to go on Tuesday to avoid going through this. The place is so cozy that you feel like you're really in Korea. They served me very well, it was the first time so they paid attention to my doubts. The cuisine is tasty! The price is right! I thought it would be even more expensive for 3 points: it is a famous restaurant, located in the center and of course for being a cuisine from another country. It's definitely worth it !! ❤️ (Original) Foi incrível! Fiquei sabendo que lá precisa esperar nos finais de semana e feriados, então resolvi ir na terça pra não passar por isso. O lugar é aconchegante ao ponto de você se sentir que realmente está na Coréia. Me atenderam muito bem, era a primeira vez então deram atenção nas dúvidas que tinha. A culinária é saborosa! O preço é justo! Pensei que seria até mais cara por 3 pontos: é um restaurante famoso, localizada no centro e claro por ser uma culinária de outro país. Com certeza vale a pena!! ❤️

    (Translated by Google) If I had six stars I would give rs I went on a weekday, at lunchtime, and it was empty and quiet. I was well attended and the doubts clarified. The food is well served and the individual dish (on average 50 reais) would be enough for two people who don't eat much. It is a very different experience, including flavors. The only thing I noticed is that the prices of Korean drinks are more expensive compared to the prices of the Liberdade markets (but until then, in the vast majority of restaurants the drink is even more expensive). (Original) Se tivesse seis estrelas eu daria rs Fui em dia de semana, no horário de almoço, e estava vazio e tranquilo. Fui bem atendida e as dúvidas esclarecidas. A comida é bem servida e o prato individual (na média de 50 reais) daria até para duas pessoas que não comem muito. É uma experiência, inclusive de sabores, bem diferenciada. A única coisa que notei é que os preços das bebidas coreanas são mais caras em comparação com os preços dos mercados da Liberdade (mas até ai, na grande maioria dos restaurante a bebida é mesmo mais cara).

    (Translated by Google) Don't be fooled by the exterior of this restaurant. The outside doesn't do him justice. We arrived early, it was empty, no queues. We ate 1 bulgogi, 1 spicy pork rib, plus a bowl of spicy stew, juice, water, 3 600 ml beers and two desserts, the bill was 224 reais. We thought the price was right and all the flavors we tried were completely new. We love it and we will definitely be back :) (Original) Não se engane com o exterior desse restaurante. O lado de fora não faz justiça a ele. Chegamos cedo, estava vazio, sem filas. Comemos 1 bulgogi, 1 costela de porco apimentada, mais um bowl de ensopado apimentado, suco, água, 3 cervejas de 600 ml e duas sobremesas, a conta deu 224 reais. Achamos o preço justo e todos os sabores que experimentamos foram completamente novos. Adoramos e com certeza voltaremos :)

    (Translated by Google) Wonderful service, the waiter who served me the last two times I went is kind and friendly in person! The food is delicious, the prices are also great. Keep in mind that the portions are large, so two dishes tend to do more than two or three people, and the price is also ok! The range of dishes is between 40 and 60 reais, if I'm not mistaken. Great for going with friends or family, the price alone becomes quite steep. (Original) Atendimento maravilhoso, o garçom que me atendeu nas últimas duas vezes que fui é uma gentileza e simpatia em pessoa! A comida é uma delícia, os preços também são ótimos. Mantenha em mente que as porções são grandes, então dois pratos costumam dar mais que bem para duas ou três pessoas, e o preço também fica ok! A faixa de pratos é entre 40 e 60 reais, se não me engano. Ótimo para ir com amigos ou família, sozinho o preço se torna um tanto salgado.

    (Translated by Google) Typically Korean foods. Spicy if you ask for pepper. I recommend everyone to go and taste the bulgogi barbecue. It's delicious. Other barbeques are also great. If it is in festive seasons better to book (Original) Comidas típicamente coreana. Bem apimentada se vc pedir com pimenta. Recomendo a todos irem e provar o churrasco bulgogi. É delicioso. Outros churrasco também sao ótimos. Se for em epocas festivas melhor reservar
