“ My set came with 2 hamburgs, rice, soup and mentaiko. Everything tasted good. The resto was a bit too dark, not enough light for snapping photos. ”
“ Charcoal grilled hamburgs… we tried both styles, “plain” grilled with self-serve selection of tasty condiments (and DIY egg yolk+soy dipping sauce), as well as a curry version. Both very tasty and fun experience eating around the charcoal grill master! The Highball was a special icing on top. Highly recommend. ”
“ This is a place you should visit if you are in Seoul, especially in Ikseon-dong area. There are a lot of their Hamburg pics and review online, but I would recommend you try their grilled pork. Cause, honestly, we tried both, and the grilled pork tasted even better. You will be given a tool to separate the egg yolk by yourself. You then add the yolk to a small dish with a bit of soy sauce for your meat dipping sauce. For rice, you scoop the middle soft part from the hot bowl and put it in another bowl to have with the meat. You then pour the given broth onto the remaining crunchy part that is struck to the bowl. When you finish with your rice and meat, it's just the right time to enjoy the rice soup. One thing to note, tho. The flavour of the rice soup is very mild. It's almost more like a palette cleanser. Look for Wooyeonhwa on Naver Map, if you can't find the direction. I liked this place a lot. ”
“ Korean hambak steak. They cooked in front of you upon order. So it takes time to prepare. It’s taste is average but you can give them good points for the dining concept. They should be popular among the younger generation but it’s just minced meat patty on rice. The whole place will have a good vibe if it’s full house with beer drinking crowds and Kpop music. #hambaksteak #koreanhambaksteakhouse #ikeseondong ”
