Top Quality Korean BBQ Recently visited The House Chungdam with my partner and it was honestly one of the best KBBQ experiences I ever had.
We ordered Set 1 from the House Feast which is basically the Beef BBQ set.
The portion looked rather small at first, but it was surprisingly filling. The set also came with three side dishes. A bowl of comforting soybean soup, to cleanse your palate to combat the potential dryness from the BBQ, a fluffy steamed egg to add some creamy texture and to balance out the strong flavours of the BBQ-ed meat, and a salad bowl to refresh the senses so you can go for more BBQ.
The standout for me was the boneless short ribs. It was so tender, juicy, and packed with flavour. Really really good. Still craving it now….
There was also a large variety of banchan (side dishes) to complement the beef. Unlike some KBBQs, these sides had actual standards. Not some random frozen sides from the convenience store, but actual good tasting sides. My personal favourites were the radish, kimchi, marinated squid, and garlic. Wrap those sides into the lettuce with your beef and add a touch of salt, place it all into your mouth — simply amazing. And of course with all good KBBQs, all the sides were refillable.
The staff also cooked the meat for us at the table as well which is something I look out for. This ensures the meat is cooked perfectly and I actually have the time and space to just enjoy my meal.
The best part, no smell, their ventilation and suction was so good that you leave there without the usual BBQ smell.
Verdict:
If you're a fan of Korean BBQ, The House Chungdam should be on your must-try list. Top meat quality, coupled with a wide variety of great tasting side dishes.
