    We booked for my partners birthday and mentioned that when booking. We also mentioned to the waitress that it was our first time in a Korean Restaurant so would be appreciated if we could be told how to eat all the food placed on the table. They told us what everything was and walked away. The waitress comes back and asks us why we didn’t put our rice in a separate bowl into our soup bowl!!! We told them again it’s because it’s our first time eating Korean food and we had asked for instructions. No candle was on my partners dessert but were put on others who were there for their birthdays . The food was good. Just disappointed on the service.

    宿泊したホテルに案内があり、予約しました。 メインは甘いタレの牛肉と塩がメインの豚肉を頼みました。厚い立派な肉の塊から切り分けて、目の前でスタッフさんが焼いてくれました。カウンターに座りましたが、スペースの余裕があり、快適でした。ホールのスタッフも焼いてくれたスタッフも若い女性達で、説明や対応も良かったです。 一人なので仕方ないのですが、注文した量が多くなってしまいました。でも、チヂミもナムルもスープも、とてもおいしかったです。

    It was nice, but the cuts were very thin and I think it wasn’t value for money.

    KGK offers a standout Korean BBQ experience right in the heart of Kensington. The chef’s special boasted a generous selection, with the beef short rib stealing the show—its marinade was nothing short of astounding. Each item brought something unique to the table, creating a rich tapestry of flavours that complemented the meal beautifully. The ambiance is soothing and stylish, making it an ideal spot for a relaxed evening out. Service was impeccable—friendly, attentive, and genuinely accommodating. A definite must-visit for Korean BBQ lovers.

    First time at a Korean bbq type restaurant. Service was ok, very quiet and it would have been nice to have menu/options explained better. We asked and just pointed to set menu, which we didn’t want. The food we ordered was very nice - the rib eye cooked to perfection and Iberico pork. It just felt overall a rather underwhelming experience.

    We liked the food and wine but the service was impossible as in non exciting. We had problems getting any attention. The restaurant was a ship without a captain. I brought a group of of 6 and I felt embarrassed.
