Kukje Grill is a cozy restaurant located inside the Kukje Market, offering a Korean homey atmosphere reminiscent of Korean dramas. The service is attentive, featuring a convenient button at each table to summon staff when needed. The menu boasts a wide variety of options, including the Cooked Lion Roll, #49 Sea Food Soup, and stone pot dishes. While the food is generally good, there are occasional inconsistencies in taste, with some dishes being underseasoned or having a burnt flavor. However, when they get it right, the food is enjoyable.
The restaurant provides a relaxed vibe, though it may not feel very welcoming at first. It has plenty of seating, and customers can see staff prepping grab and go lunches. The food is always made fresh and made to order, so patience is appreciated. Unlimited green tea is also a bonus, along with hot tea served right away.
Some dishes may seem pricey, but they are standard for any Korean restaurant. For example, the Lunch kal bi comes out sizzling, with tender and flavorful meat, served with rice and side dishes. The Pork soft tofu is a comforting choice, especially during colder days, as it cooks a raw egg placed on top. Customers have noted that the sushi is fresh, and the Original mixed chicken wings are a must-try, cooked perfectly and crunchy.
Overall, Kukje Grill provides a good dining experience, especially if one can beat the lunch rush. However, parking can be challenging, especially on weekends, and the cleanliness is considered average. While side dishes are tasty, their portions are small, and refills may come with an extra charge.
