"As the name suggests, Lee Buk Bang is where one can enjoy meals from the leebuk, or North Korean, region. In this setting, blood sausage and other diverse North Korean dishes with a modern flair offer a valuable dining experience to patrons. However, this spot's signature is blood sausage dishes made from the chef’s family recipes. His creativity shines in an array of dishes, from traditional to those featuring ingenious new ingredients. Also noteworthy is his effort to create familiar yet refined cuisine that combines family culinary traditions with his culinary experience. The countertops, made from old crossbeams and doors once used in century-old traditional Korean houses, add to the venue’s traditional vibe." - Michelin Inspector

There aren’t enough stars to express the wonderfulness of my experience. Every bite was delicious and significant. I recommend this omakase meal whole heartedly. It includes meat and fish, so not suitable for vegetarians.

This is the first five star that I have given in a long time. Had the pleasure of experiencing highly elevated North Korean style fine dining at LEEBUKBANG. It's chef competed in Netflix's Culinary Class Wars and was featured in the Tasty Guys. My best Korean food experience and completely exceeded my expectations of soondae, which is basically Korean blood sausages. This place is a must try if you can get a reservation. I love the fact that someone can elevate such a common item as soondae to a fine dining level. Amazing work, Chef! #culinarryclasswar #흑백요리사 #리북방 #맛있는녀석들

You haven't experienced what sundae (Korean blood sausage) can be until you've eaten here. Incredible atmosphere, incredible food, incredible value. Perfectly curated dishes with a beautiful story woven through, excellent drink selection, and a super attentive and skilled team. Very comfortable and accommodating for English-only speakers. I immediately recommended this to friends - it really is a one of a kind experience!

Fine dining with a personal story. Chef Choi Jihyung stole my heart with his twist on North Korean kitchen. I am definitely coming back!

Beautiful experience! My husband and I had a great time. You would not be wrong in choosing this experience to try the best sundae blood sausage, but you will also be positively surprised by the other incredible ingredients that the chef cooks. The pork, squid, mushrooms and kimchi were an unforgettable experience. Make sure to order the wine to pair with the sundae and other meats. The service was warm and welcoming, I will certainly be back!

음식 하나하나가 매우 정갈하고 섬세해서 좋았습니다. 그리고 플레이팅에 담긴 의미를 찾는 재미도 있었습니다. 다 맛있었지만 저는 닭요리와 면요리가 계속 기억에 남네요. 또 퓨전 순대를 약간 그을린 것도 너무 맛있었습니다. 또 방문해야겠습니다 ㅎㅎ
