Bidrage med feedbackOur family and friends came to dinner on a week night, and the food was simply not ready to compare with what I remembered from our last visit. I hope they bring back everything you eat BBQ and offer different level or set of menu (A, B, C). Service was still okay.
This is not a buffet eat all you can restaurant; you order ala carte from a menu. It's a fine Korean BBQ place. Quick service and attentive staff. Reserve your table ahead of time. Portions are not so generous. I'm not sure if they weigh the meat or just base it off the size of the guests. Refuse the table near the entrance and by the window during winter time. It's the coldest part of the restaurant and quite uncomfortable even with the portable heater on the side of the table.
We come here usually for late lunch and order either the soups, stews or the hot stone bowl (dolsot) bibimbap (rice with protein of your choice, veggies, pickled veggies and egg in an very hot stone bowl). Hardly anyone else is ever there. Quiet. Calm. It's like having your own private restaurant and we usually get attentive attention from the wait staff. What we like about Banseok Jeong is how generous they are with their banchan (small plate appetizers) in terms of variety and quality than many other Korean restaurants. For two, they will serve 12 sides and we always ask for a second round for everything. I personally ask if they have any dried jerky fish every time I go. Sometimes I get, sometimes I don't. At the end of the meal, they serve a refreshing chilled cinnamon soup. It's like tastes like chewing Big Red gum. Cleanses your palate and breath from all that kimchee and garlic! The only con is there is only one women's and men's restrooms. So if this place gets busy, there will be a line. In the women's restroom, there is a diaper changing table. Plenty of parking spaces in the Shamrock Village Shopping Center. There is also a private party room and they have a self serve Korean popiscle and frozen treats for purchase.
Really great Korean food. I'd recommend trying Bulgogi, Bibimap, Kimchi Pancake and Japche. Also, ask your server and they'll provide some excellent selections, too. Along with your meal, you'll get a selection of small dishes of banchan like kimchi, radishes, and other delectable assortments. And you'll end your meal with a refreshing cinnamon drink. Worth a visit if you're in the area.
The galbi was incredibly flavorful, and the portion size was excellent for the price. The kimchi rice was light and fluffy, and oh my, the fried chicken wings were delightful! They were crispy, not overly breaded, and had just the right amount of spice. I definitely want to try some of the other flavors they offer for the wings. They also provide a good number of pages for you to fill out if you want to order more. The customer service was an A+, with two staff members frequently checking in to ensure we had everything we needed and refilling our pages without hesitation. I would absolutely come back and wholeheartedly recommend this place!
