Tasty bbq and they take all the work of cooking for u! Banchan was a bit weaker here, their soybean soup was better than most tho flavor wise and had some meat inside. The hodong platter was good except the marinated pork at the end it was just a bit too lean and it didn’t have any particular flavor to it
"The name 'Baekjeong' first caught my eye—historically in Korea, it was a term used for the lowest social class of butchers. But there is absolutely nothing low-class about this restaurant!
The absolute best part of the experience is that the staff grills the meat perfectly right at your table, which is a massive plus if you just want to sit back and enjoy. Combined with the incredible flavor, lively atmosphere, and top-notch service, I had no choice but to give this place a well-deserved 5 stars. Highly recommended!"
The quality of food is excellent, it's definitely a better KBBQ experience compared to some of the other AYCE chains. We made our reservations via Resy which is convenient. We arrived early and were seated right away. Several reasons why we enjoyed this restaurant, less smokes and loud music, and the staff cooks the meats for you hence there's less stress of over our under cooking. We ordered the Beef Combo, we asked the waiter to slow down the cooking because we couldn't keep up with his pace. Another reason we like Baekjong is the corn and eggs cooked directly on the griddle in front of us. The banchan small dishes are also very good, and they will be replenished if you ask for more. The staff is doing a great job cooking, but we get the feeling he probably didn't want to be there. We didn't get 1 smile from any of the staff, which is fine with us.
I have been coming to this place for over 10 years and have always been a loyal fan. However, I was quite disappointed with the meat quality during my recent visit. While the meat in the combo was okay, the Beef Tongue we ordered separately was unfortunately very tough and chewy. Considering the price, it definitely didn't feel worth the extra cost this time.
On the bright side, the service remains fast and attentive. Also, the corn cheese and steamed eggs served on the side never fail to make my kids happy. I truly hope the meat quality returns to the high standard it used to have so we can continue to enjoy our family dinners here.
This place was amazing. Upon being seated, there is already an arrangement of banchan waiting for you. The meat was tender, flavorful, and can tell it is high quality. Our waiter was also awesome, cut and cooked all of our meat for us. 10/10 experience and probably the best KBBQ I’ve had.
