Giving my honest opinion. Forget about that pathetic free drink. The not spicy dish came as spicy braised chicken. How on earth is that not spicy ? I do not think we can survive without those cold nice sprite . Service staff was friendly though. If you can’t take spicy food, go elsewhere.

Very taśmy local chudnie- highly recommended! Our korean braised chicken was beyond expectations. A little bit hidden upstairs, but Bbandak Bandak is worth to find!

Loved the steamed egg!  But the chicken with cheese was just so so for me.

It’s a great place to eat chicken dishes. I enjoyed a meal and salad. Very tasty. I recommend all to eat here.

I cannot condone a restaurant that gets its high rating from giving away free drinks to those who review, BEFORE they’ve eaten! Sadly we fell trap to this place and by the time we sat down and saw the screen the waitress had already given us kimchi and water.
The food is unbelievably average! Worst Dakgalbi we’ve had in Seoul. It’s way too saucy and they really skimp on the cheese. It was hardly stir fried at all. Do yourself a favour and go have Dakgalbi in Hongdae where it is actually decent!
Absolute tourist trap. Don’t come here!
