Byeokje Galbi the Cheongdam

A flawless Korean BBQ experience — unforgettable from start to finish. I recently dined at Byeokje Galbi the Cheongdam, and it truly exceeded all expectations. From the moment we arrived, the service was top-tier — the staff were warm, attentive, and thoroughly professional. We were seated in a private room, which provided both comfort and a sense of exclusivity, making the whole experience feel even more special. The absolute highlight of the meal was the kkot-ppyeo saeng-galbi (꽃뼈생갈비). The meat was unbelievably tender, rich in flavor, and practically melted in our mouths. It was one of the best cuts of beef I’ve ever had. But what made it even more memorable was the tableside performance — a staff member came in with a gleaming knife and effortlessly sliced the ribs right in front of us. The precision and showmanship added a theatrical touch that elevated the entire experience. Alongside the main dish, the banchan (side dishes) were varied, fresh, and perfectly balanced the richness of the meat. Each element felt carefully curated to complement the star of the show. The pacing of the meal was excellent as well — we never felt rushed, and the staff checked in just enough to make sure we had everything we needed without interrupting the flow. The atmosphere of the restaurant blends modern elegance with traditional Korean charm, making it ideal for both casual luxury and special occasions. Everything from the interior design to the plating of the food spoke of attention to detail. Byeokje Galbi the Cheongdam is not just a meal — it’s an experience. If you’re looking for premium Korean BBQ with exceptional service and unforgettable flavors, this is the place. I’ll absolutely be back.

Excellent restaurant for 5 star Korean BBQ. The quality of the meat and the food are excellent. The service is immaculate. You get a private room. The only down side there was a cricket or cockroach in the room. They just need to do some pest control. It is very unfortunate. I will definitely come back for your food and service. The lady who served me as very friendly and accomodating. The premium rib and ox tounge are very good

Defintely umcomparable clasee pf elegance for korean bbq. Great atmoshere and food quality

Excellent dinner tonight at Byeokje. 1.4KG of fantastic Hanwoo beef in different cuts. Only private dining rooms are available in the Cheongdam location. Service is excellent and staff communicates very well in English and is able to explain everything very clearly. Highly recommend to visit if you love Korean BBQ and a beef lover.

Monday has no Byeokje Tasting Course, thus had the a-la-carte. Seated in a private room with their beautiful handmade Munaze ceramics laid out. We ordered their Signature Cuts of Hanwoo Seolhwa Hanwoo Bone Rib aka Kkotppyeo Saeng-Galbi. An artisan butcher came in with the bone rib and deftly carving out the 1++ meat, followed by a demonstration of the diamond-cutting technique. Next, a grill master proceeded to cook the meat over charcoal fire. Exceptional meat indeed, good balance of fat, flavour and bite too. Their Jeju seafood platter lacked lustre. Doenjang hanwoo stew and naengmyeon were decent. Service was cordial and brisk. Ambience was alright, just a bit stuffy when the door was closed. Still the best dining among the Byeokje branches.

I came here to try Korean Hanwoo beef for the first time, and it was an incredible, immersive dining experience. We had a dedicated server who was very knowledgeable about the ingredients and the history behind every dish. The head chef expertly cut the Hanwoo beef in front of us, showcasing impressive knife skills. The Hanwoo beef was incredibly tender and flavorful, with a rich taste that stood out. Its texture was perfectly soft yet firm, melting in your mouth with every bite. Compared to Wagyu, Hanwoo is less fatty, offering a balanced flavor that highlights the natural beefiness without being too rich. The subtle marbling made the meat juicy and delicious, with a clean, pure taste that was really satisfying. This was a great way to experience Hanwoo beef for the first time, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. If you’re looking to try something new and delicious, I highly recommend giving it a shot!

Gave us the worst and smallest room in the back with no ambiance and no windows in the restaurant for our party of 6. It took them about 15 min to take our orders and about 45 min before we properly got our food from the time we sat down. If you want a better experience as well as price and the same quality of food, go to Tteurak instead. Very disappointed considering we paid over 1200usd for our 6 person dinner.

Excellent food in an intimate and lovely ambience. The staff is friendly an eager to please. The hanwoo beef is a must.
