About this place
A grilled beef kalbi rice bowl takes centre stage at lunch, with small sides to choose for a change of flavour as you eat. One diner ordered the extra-large double kalbi bowl and said the rice portion felt like about two generous bowls. They also enjoyed miso soup and sides such as potato salad, dressed greens, kimchi and okra, noting that the kimchi gave the bowl a different flavour. Another diner praised the W grilled beef kalbi bowl for its pleasantly chewy meat and barbecue sauce, which went well with the rice. There is plenty to choose from, whether you want to focus on the meat in your bowl or put together a meal with several sides.
For lunch cooked at the table, the yakiniku buffet features options such as beef kalbi, pork belly, chicken thigh and offal. Rice, miso soup and side dishes are also listed, adding variety to a meat-centred meal. The sides range from kimchi and potato salad to rolled omelette and cucumber with salted sauce; one diner said the all-you-can-eat sides were what drew them in. A diner who ordered the skirt steak set meal also commented on the thick-cut meat and sides including kimchi and simmered aubergine. The sides add useful variety if you would rather have a set meal than a rice bowl.
If you prefer to choose a particular cut or serving size, the menu includes beef skirt steak and kalbi set meals, as well as platters with 3 or 5 kinds of yakiniku. Thick-cut skirt steak set meals are listed in portions from 150g to 300g, while the thick-cut beef tongue with green onion and salt set meal comes in 90g and 180g portions. There is also a range of meals beyond yakiniku, including stone-bowl bibimbap with mini cold noodles, beef tendon and green onion curry, and grilled young chicken. That gives diners with different tastes a choice beyond barbecue.
