This was my second visit to Chungdam BBQ, and I'm honestly more impressed than the first time -- which I didn't think was possible! I came back for their unbeatable $19.99 Happy Hour, and once again, it delivered big time.
Our male server this time was just excellent. Super attentive, friendly without being overbearing, and completely on top of everything -- grill changes, side dishes, drinks... it all flowed so smoothly. You could tell he was experienced and really cared about the guest experience.
The meats were just as high quality as before. The pork belly, brisket, and bulgogi were all fresh, flavorful, and grilled up perfectly. It honestly doesn't feel like "happy hour" food -- the quality is more like full-price dinner service.
And let's talk about the self-bar again: cold noodles, soup, dumplings -- amazing as always. But what really made me smile was that fruit section. Fresh pineapple, watermelon, melon, and orange slices? YES PLEASE. It's such a nice touch after eating all the grilled meats -- refreshing, sweet, and surprisingly satisfying.
The place was clean, organized, and even when it got a bit busy, service never slowed down. I came back because I had a great experience the first time... and now I'm convinced I'll be a regular.
If you're even thinking about trying it, go -- and don't miss the fruit.
