Insa is a restaurant that offers a mix of Korean barbecue and karaoke. The atmosphere is described as having a lovely ambiance with cool lighting and an intimate space. The bar section is particularly noted for its cozy spot to have drinks with friends, offering a wide variety of Korean drinks and cocktails, and a clean and welcoming environment. The restaurant's host and servers are mentioned to have an authentic and fresh approach.
However, there are some criticisms regarding the food. The banchan, or side dishes, were described as lacking in variety, with the kimchi being disappointingly dry. The kimchi fried rice was likened to dirty rice with bacon, and the Galbi and pork belly were said to be overpriced and underwhelming. The only exception was the pancakes, which were praised as being very good.
Additionally, there were concerns about the lack of Korean staff and the mostly Caucasian restaurant-goers, which raised questions about the authenticity of the Korean cuisine. Overall, while the atmosphere and bar section received positive feedback, the food offerings left some diners feeling disappointed, especially given the high price point.
