House Chungdam is one of the posher KBBQs with a nice ambience and a modern twist. The banchan was great and I particularly enjoyed the squid that was served.
The meat portions were quite generous and tasty. Food tasted quite exquisite and not too oily - rare for KBBQs.
Overall, a fantastic place to impress your date! Thoroughly enjoyed the spacious bar seating and the plating for the sides/sauces/vegetables which elevated the whole experience.
Great quality KBBQ and really good cold noodles. Very friendly staff and amazing atmosphere to hang out with friends.
First time visiting the place. The atmosphere is cozy and aesthetic. The meat was tender and juicy. Really enjoyed their cold noodle and cheese potato pancake
Had a really satisfying dinner at The House Chungdam. The interior felt calm and well put together — definitely more thoughtfully designed than most Korean BBQ places, which made the whole experience feel a bit more special.
We tried a few dishes, and the BBQ beef slices were a clear standout — super tender and packed with flavor. The cheese potato pancake was also great — crispy, cheesy, and very comforting. One side dish that really stuck with us was the squid — it was so tasty we asked for refills more than once.
Also had the beef tartare with avocado, which was fresh and creamy, with just the right touch of lime to brighten it up. It was a nice contrast to the grilled dishes.
Definitely worth checking out if you're into Korean food and want something a little more elevated than the usual spots.
I really enjoyed the food at Chung Dam, the service was really good as they cooked the meat to perfection for you. The meat was tasty, would recommend the marinated meats. Great atmosphere for a date.
Recently visited The House Chungdam with my partner and it was honestly one of the best KBBQ experiences I ever had.
We ordered Set 1 from the House Feast which is basically the Beef BBQ set.
The portion looked rather small at first, but it was surprisingly filling. The set also came with three side dishes. A bowl of comforting soybean soup, to cleanse your palate to combat the potential dryness from the BBQ, a fluffy steamed egg to add some creamy texture and to balance out the strong flavours of the BBQ-ed meat, and a salad bowl to refresh the senses so you can go for more BBQ.
The standout for me was the boneless short ribs. It was so tender, juicy, and packed with flavour. Really really good. Still craving it now….
There was also a large variety of banchan (side dishes) to complement the beef. Unlike some KBBQs, these sides had actual standards. Not some random frozen sides from the convenience store, but actual good tasting sides. My personal favourites were the radish, kimchi, marinated squid, and garlic. Wrap those sides into the lettuce with your beef and add a touch of salt, place it all into your mouth — simply amazing. And of course with all good KBBQs, all the sides were refillable.
The staff also cooked the meat for us at the table as well which is something I look out for. This ensures the meat is cooked perfectly and I actually have the time and space to just enjoy my meal.
The best part, no smell, their ventilation and suction was so good that you leave there without the usual BBQ smell.
Verdict:
If you're a fan of Korean BBQ, The House Chungdam should be on your must-try list. Top meat quality, coupled with a wide variety of great tasting side dishes.
