Sao Paulo 🇧🇷 Korean food | Taste is ok and the environment is good
🏠 Sa Gun Ja 🗺️ R. Prof. Santiago Dantas, 192 - Vila Tramontano, São Paulo - SP, 05686-010 🌵 Finally Checking Out "Four Gentlemen" Heard so much about this spot—glad I finally visited! The vibe is like a cozy standalone house with a courtyard. The owner must love plants—there are huge cacti and greenery everywhere 🌿. Way fancier than the hole-in-the-wall spots on Korean Street, but prices are steep, which hurts the value. 🥢 What We Ate (and Got Stuffed With) Three dishes for four people left us beyond full: Spicy Hot Pot: Packed a punch! My spice-loving friends thought it was solid, though I found it a bit too fiery. Seafood Pancake 🌟: Crispy exterior, soft interior, and loaded with seafood. Easily the best dish here! Sweet Soy Sauce Steak: Forgot the name, but the sweet glaze was on point. Tender, but portions felt small for the price. Surprisingly, the menu lacked standout signature dishes—good, but not memorable. 🏡 Ambiance & Location Two floors: Ground floor is quiet, while the second floor is bright and lively. Big plus: It’s near Brooklyn’s Chinese business district, so no need to battle traffic to hit Korean Street. Perfect for a quick Korean fix without the commute! 💰 Ouch—That Price Tag Average cost: 165 R$ per person. Yikes. Flavors are decent, but you’ll get more bang for your buck at those "shabby" Korean Street joints. This is more about the ambiance than budget-friendly eats. ⭐ Final Take Come for the cute garden vibes and convenient location, but don’t expect mind-blowing Korean food. Good for a casual meetup, but save your Korean food cravings for the authentic (and cheaper) spots downtown! 🇰🇷 #KoreanFood #GlobalFoodie #ExpatEats #SaoPauloRestaurants
