In the past, when dining on Korean cuisine, especially barbecue, copper plate grills were more common. The big V rabbit nor any squid has any blood...

The restaurant is not very easy to find. Although the address is on Yucheng Road, the actual storefront is located inside an alley. There aren’t many parking spaces in the alley, so it’s recommended to use the paid parking lot near a nearby building and walk over. The restaurant isn’t small, and the main entrance divides the space into two sections—one on the left and one on the right—mainly featuring four-person or six-person tables, offering a comfortable atmosphere.

Inside the restaurant, there are no visible Korean-style decorative elements. At first glance, it looks like a typical barbecue joint, mostly decorated in black and white. Upon entering, you’ll be shown to your seat by the staff.

The table has a menu available, and the dining style is either set meals or à la carte. There’s a minimum spend of 160 NTD per person, plus a 10% service charge. There are four price tiers for the set meals. We ultimately chose the Pork Iron Plate Set for Two at 799 NTD + 10% service charge, which includes seven dishes: appetizers, salad, soup, side dishes, main course, dessert, and drinks.

The back of the menu lists à la carte prices and also informs customers that the beef is sourced from the U.S. and the pork from Denmark.

The Korean-style sauce for bibimbap can not only be used to mix rice but also serves as a dipping sauce for seafood pancakes—sweet, salty, and delicious.

Spicy miso, sesame oil, and garlic slices can be added according to your preference along with the meat slices. I often see Korean sesame oil on TV, and I was surprised to find it’s different from Taiwanese sesame oil—it has a very rich flavor and aroma, perfect for mixing with noodles or vegetables.

[Appetizers] Authentic Korean Side Dishes

Five free side dishes with unlimited refills, such as spicy seaweed, spicy radish, miso potatoes, pickled white radish, spicy green onions, etc. The selection changes daily.

[Salad] Yuzu Vinegar Vitality Salad

It has the fragrant aroma of yuzu and the sourness of vinegar, with a sweet-sour taste that also has a hint of saltiness. It pairs well with lettuce and has a refreshing flavor.

[Soup] Pork Tofu Hot Pot

The server informed us that the tofu hot pot has some spice level, which was considerate. It contains plenty of tofu and vegetables, along with several slices of meat. The broth is mildly spicy, with a nice savory and spicy flavor.

[Side Dish] Seafood Pancake

Made with Korean pancake batter and squid paste, it’s generously filled with ingredients. Inside are squid and shrimp. The pancake has a slightly soft and chewy texture, and you can dip it in the Korean sauce for added layers of flavor.

[Main Course] Stone Pot Bibimbap

The portion size is similar to regular stone pot bibimbap. It’s packed with lots of vegetables, pork, and egg. Pour the bibimbap sauce into the stone pot, mix it up, and it’s ready to eat. You can adjust the sauce to your taste—the white rice turns red after mixing, but it’s not spicy, just sweet and savory, and goes down smoothly. The bottom of the stone pot gets a bit crispy and charred, which I really like. It’s enough for about three to four servings, and it fills you up quickly.
