Restaurant Chungdam offers delicious food like braised ribs, stir-fried squid, galbitang, and raw cold noodles. The atmosphere is chic and clean, making it a nice place for a lunch date or a meal with friends. The staff are friendly and attentive, ensuring that each detail is well taken care of. The meat, especially the beef bibimbap, is fresh and flavorful, with higher quality meats like Chungdam Prime Galbi and marinated shirt ribs receiving high praise. The traditional Seoul-style meat cuts add to the authentic experience. The restaurant’s vibe feels elevated and better than typical greasy BBQ places, creating a pleasant dining environment. It’s nice to have everything prepared and cooked for you, which adds convenience. They also offer a smooth, high-quality sake and decent house wine, both worth trying. Parking is available in the back and on the street, and visiting early is recommended as the restaurant can get busy quickly, especially on weekends. Portions are generous, although some side dishes like cold noodles and seafood pancakes are smaller compared to other Korean restaurants. Overall, Chungdam is a good spot for those who focus on quality food and a stylish setting, even if the prices are higher than in Korea. Some updates to the facility, like the men's toilets, could improve the experience further.
