MapleTree House

Lively BBQ joint in the middle of Itaewon party street. Walked past it a couple of times and then decided to venture in solo. Was quite busy as it was a weekend night but I put down my local number and got a call within 15 minutes. My server was a cute ajumma who fussed over my order and then forgot my drink order but she had a big smile and made the whole dining experience memorable. I ordered the Jeju black pork and she cooked it to perfection. Enjoyed it with the all various side dishes and a Suntory highball. Would definitely come back with a group to try the more extensive beef options. Loved the vibe, the location and the service.

We had a fantastic experience at Maple Tree House. The decor was modern and stylish, and the staff were genuinely friendly, making us feel very welcome. One thing we really appreciated was that the staff grilled the meat for us at the table—it made the experience more relaxing and enjoyable. The food was absolutely delicious, and the side dishes were especially tasty. Even better, when we asked for refills, they arrived quickly and without hesitation. We thoroughly enjoyed everything from start to finish and will definitely be back. Highly recommended for a great Korean BBQ experience!

My friends that live in Korea recommended and I've visited multiple times. Always delicious top cuts of beef and pork. Tasty Banchan. Amazing service. Foreigner friendly.

Authentic Korean barbecue place. The waitress grilled everything for us. Both pork belly and Galbi beef were cooked to perfection.

Food is great here. Also nice that they grill the meat for you. Service wise as I went early and was the only diner there, got all attention which was a bit too much lol Located at the back of the alley, the smell of the street was kind strong, which maybe also made the overall experience a bit down. I may try another branch of the same restaurant in the future.

The restaurant was absolutely excellent! The food was delicious, the service was very fast, and everything was perfectly organized. A special thanks to Lina for her professionalism and warm attitude, she made the experience even better. Highly recommended!

Maple Tree House (단풍나무집) sits tucked into one of Itaewon’s more elegant corners, blending traditional Korean BBQ with a polished, international vibe. The address itself—26 Itaewon-ro 27ga-gil—isn’t hard to find, but stepping inside feels like you’ve walked into a more refined kind of grill house. Clean lines, modern lighting, and just the right amount of wood decor make it feel cozy without being cramped. And yes, rumor has it Angelina Jolie once dined here, so there’s definitely a bit of star sparkle in the air. As for the food, we opted for their most popular set menu, and it didn’t disappoint. The staff brings out the meats with care and handles the charcoal grilling right at your table—no smoke in your face, no guesswork with cooking. Every cut we tried was tender, flavorful, and well-marinated, especially the galbi. The banchan were fresh and nicely varied, and the pacing of the meal was smooth, never rushed. It’s not just a meal—it’s more like a curated dinner experience. While some may say it’s a bit on the pricier side, you’re paying for more than food—you’re getting service, ambiance, and presentation. It’s not your late-night BBQ fix, but it’s a strong choice for business dinners, date nights, or travelers wanting Korean BBQ with polish. Overall, a solid experience with just enough celebrity lore to make your dinner story-worthy.

Ordered 1 set won159,000. But don’t trust the set photo. Photo shown 2 pcs A++ beef but only one each beef. 🥩 overall food is good! There are some annoying flies inside restaurants. One lady took care a few tables and overcook led my beef
