Both guys are very nice..but NOT brothers! morning If you want to get a taste to Korean. Ok, they use gochujang (I call this Korean spicy ketchup. ) I ordered bibimbop as was recommended by the cook. My fried egg was over cooked as I think requesting a runny egg was lost in translation and he gave me a fried YOLK egg. Cooked all the way. The ban Chan mixture of different Korean veggies was just okay. I miss a good ole fermented or spicy versions of kimchee. Also, I thought the rice became too mushy and some bits of the thinly slice beef was too tough or inedible. I did decide to get the chicken wings and was recommended the dakganjeong ( Korean sweet chili spices) wings. (I asked for extra chili powder on side to make more spicy...given on request). I did like the chicken wings. Nice crispy crust. Just not spicy enough with using gochujang they are serving. Would I stop by again... maybe for the wings.

Not enough seating area, so you'd be lucky if you can get a table. My friends brought me here because they said it was good, so I decided to try it. My friend Marvin got the Mussel soup, and it was huge! I tried a little bit of it, and it did not disappoint. I ordered the Grilled Salmon Dosirak, and it was pretty good. I didn't eat the rice though, nor the little dessert that came with it. I only ate the Salmon, Soup, and Veggies and still filled me up! Very satisfying dinner.

After looking at their glowing Google reviews, I decided to order via UberEats for a late-night bite. I will note that the restaurant had my order ready quite quickly, and it arrived piping hot despite the weather being rainy and cold. We were certainly off to a great start there :) I was conflicted on what to order and ended up getting way too much food for 1 person. I got the Dakgangjeong Bento Box ($16) - crispy chicken in a sticky and sweet sauce, and edamame, purple rice, and seaweed salad on the side AND a Bulgogi Futomaki Gimbap ($15) roll with sauteed beef, crab, radish, etc. There were SO many pieces in the Bulgogi roll that it had to be separated into 2 containers. A seriously massive portion for the price. For the $31 I spent, I could have easily fed 3 people. Great value for the price, top-notch ingredients, quick service, and great presentation. Would definitely recommend!

The noodle was perfectly cooked and seasoned well. The bulgogi, could use more seasoning, it was bit chewy for us. Don't get the kimchi chigae, lacked that "kimchi chigae" flavor, lot of veggies, minimal kimchi. The thing I didn't get... we ordered in Korean, they responded in English... but when they spoke to each other, they spoke Korean.... what gives?

This place felt like every other Korean spot, as the space was welcoming and cozy. I think this restaurant was specifically catered towards those wanting kbbq, because their portions for their regular entrees weren't that great considering the prices and they don't give you much banchan. While overall this hit the spot for my need for Korean food in a foreign country for myself, I felt the combo of the high prices and non-kbbq entrees that seemed catered towards individuals was slightly off putting.

I went here for dinner with my partner and a couple of friends. We arrived around 5:30pm and left…read morearound 7pm. When we arrived we were greeted pretty quickly and brought to a table in the main dining room. We decided we wanted hot pot so we pressed the button and the server came out. We had a couple of questions about the menu (whether all of the broths were soy-based, I'm allergic to soy so this was important) and then ordered four hot pots. The server said it would be a bit because they had to clean off a table in the hot pot area so we waited. About ten minutes passed and another server told us we could go back to that area. We were brought to our table and told how the buffet works. All of the other unoccupied tables were still dirty and remained so until we left, so they didn't seem too pressed to clean up after people left. It was a bit odd. The food itself was alright. The meats in the raw buffet were labeled but none of the other ingredients were, so it was hard to know for sure what I was getting and whether it was free from soy or not. I feel fine now (a couple hours later) so I think it was safe, but only time will tell. They didn't keep the buffet super stocked up and we had to ask for some things to be restocked a couple of times. They said it was because they were busy but they weren't - there was only a handful of people there between both rooms. Overall this place was alright. It was my first hotpot experience so I don't have anything to compare it to, but my friends are big fans and they said it was alright but our local place in Oregon was better. There wasn't a whole lot of flavor in the broth so we had to add our own.

Located on Parnell Street, Dublin's unofficial "Chinatown," Lao Chinese and Korean sits among a…read moredense concentration of East Asian restaurants, supermarkets, and cafés just north of O'Connell Street. The exterior is relatively understated, with large windows looking into the dining room rather than elaborate street-facing décor. Inside, the restaurant is noticeably larger than many neighboring establishments, with multiple dining areas and table setups designed to accommodate both standard meals and tabletop barbecue. The atmosphere feels practical and comfortable rather than trendy, allowing the focus to remain squarely on the food. There's also a large make-your-own sauce bar at the front, and a buffet station at the back full of fish, noodles, and vegetable options to complete any hotpot order, along with Chinese snacks and even some desserts! Our group of nine made a reservation in advance, though on a Thursday night, the restaurant was about only half-full, and probably could have accommodated most walk-in parties. The menu is extensive, ranging from Westernized Chinese favorites like Fried Rice and Kung Pao Chicken to Korean BBQ to individual-sized hot pot dishes, which are convenient in that they allow everyone at the table to customize their hotpot to their liking (along with their own little heated section of the table) - particularly with the soup broth flavor and various toppings that they choose. For meats (options of beef, lamb, pork, and chicken), you order with the server, and for everything else, you may go up to the buffet as many times as you'd like. As with most hotpot buffet places, there is the risk of cross-contamination with the communal tongs that they use, so people with dietary restrictions, beware! Other than that, the buffet selections were extensive and quite fresh. I ordered the Extra Hot & Spicy Hotpot (€33 for AYCE hotpot), and the broth was rich, comforting, and "Ireland-spicy" (which is to say, not very spicy at all). I ordered one plate each of their beef and lamb, both of which tasted fresh, but quite fatty. Each plate of meat comes with a generous portion, and two portions was quite enough for me. Prices are moderate by Dublin standards; most entrées fall within the typical city-center range, while barbecue and group-style meals can push the per-person cost somewhat higher. Expect roughly €20-40 per person depending on how extensively you order - from hotpot to KBBQ to classic Chinese takeout fare, there's truly something for everyone, and this is a great place to go if you have a large party with diverse food interests/preferences.

Now I don't sing because I don't want people to run screaming and covering their ears but my friends have lovely voices so we went here to karaoke, it started at 10 and was a bit delayed by the band that was playing, this was not an issue as liquid courage was required anyway. My friends rocked the singing and many others graced us with their sass and singing the only thing I would say is that the DJ took a very long time to pick people and would hold long breaks between songs, which is not normal for a karaoke bar it should be going a bit faster in my opinion. Another thing that could be changed to make the place better is that it was SO HOT! Not after we started drinking but from the moment we walked in, it was almost unbearable. Anyway all in all good service and a fun night! If you like karaoke this may be the spot.
