My favourite restaurant !, Thursday, 21 February 2008

Written by MISTYB   -  View all my reviews  - Top 100 Reviewer

Hello,all
I'm Korean girl ~ ^^ who live in Dalian.
I have also visited this restaurant chain both of in Korea and in Dalian.
This restaurant is one of the most popular restaurant chains in Korea.
(good meat, fresh & veriety vegetables, good service)
Especially, this chain has in their menu, the best is Usamgupsal(beef), but cost is not cheap as someone mentioned.
"Usamgyupsal" is 50RMB(1 person)
But, if you order some meat like a usamgupsal, fresh & veriety vegetables is free. It might a lot more than you have expected.

In addition, when you order "Usamgyupsal", you'd rather order "Heamul-ssamjang" and "Steamed Rice"
"Ssam" is eaten by ingredients in lettuce together and "Heamul-ssamjang" is seafood bean paste.
When you eat "Usamgyupsal", put "Usamgyupsal BBQ" and "Heamul ssamjang" +"Steamed Rice" on lettuce together.


I also like to eat "Heamul-ddukjjim - steamed seafood rice cake with hot paste", but it's also not cheap, Heamul-ddukjjim is 80RMB

Even if high cost, we have been going there when we want to eat "Usamgyupsal" with a lot of fresh vegetables.
If you're looking for some special restaurant, go there, you can eat delicious Korean food just the same as in Korea.

BBQ Specialty Restaurant, Friday, 15 February 2008

Written by brandbry   -  View all my reviews  - Top 50 Reviewer

I've been to the original Ben Jia in Seoul. I can truly say this one in Dalian is almost as good. I say almost becuase the Kimchi soup served here was ... greasy and tasteless.

This is not a cheap restaurant. And it's somewhat out of the way (Hua Le Rd, in Koreatown). Our family of 4 ordered 2 servings of (wu-sam-kyup-sal, thinly sliced marinated beef), 2 servings of premium sirloin, bean paste soup and kimchi soup. One large beer, 4 bowls of rice and the whole thing cost us 480 RMB.

The sirloin was tasty. The waitress dipped in soy sauce before BBQing and we asked her not to becuase we prefer no sauce. My children ate most of it. It was sumptuous. Very juicy. The thinly slice beef was just as good. The bean paste soup was awesome. The kimchi soup .. well, see above.

A waitress will BBQ all the meat for you. I found this somewhat bothersome becuase she BBQed the meat so quickly. I wanted to enjoy my dinner but everything was too hurried. Next time I go there, I'll BBQ my own meat.

The side dishes are tasty and the vegetable they serve are fresh.

As usual, too many people were smoking around us ... but what can you do? We went on Valentine's day and they gave us a rose and two hand towels. All in all, a good place to go for a night of excellent Korean BBQ. Once you finish dinner, your children, if you have any, can go play in the playground.

I will definitely go back there.

Very good!, Thursday, 16 August 2007

Very good food indeed,but honestly so far I havent found a bad Korean restaurant.
Anyway ,I had a very good lunch at this place.The restaurant is very neat and pretty big.At the entrance they even have a small playground for kids.
We had some grilled meat, the traditional pancakes with seafood and onions,some mixed noodles with veggies(delicious) , some noodles soup, grilled veggies and of course the various small cold dishes, everything accompanied by a very nice wheat tea.
The service was very good, the menu had the English name of the dishes and it was pretty much self-explanatory, every dish being accompanied by a photo.Not a very big selection of dishes though.
The price was also good: 260rmb for 4 persons.
Definetely two thumbs up but as I said there are many great Korean restaurants in town.
