OH BOK KOREAN BBQ - Lo Castillo — Restaurant in Vitacura

I went there yesterday with my husband and some friends after reading good reviews of this place, and we were not disappointed!

Food: First, I love that their menu has korean in it. That makes it super helpful to identify things. We ordered the 4p-meat-combo ($74.000), and it was amazing. I didn’t know the portion was this big so I ordered some more gochujang 3gs, and we left the place super full.

If you’re looking for thin rozen 3gs, this is not the place. They give you thick ones, and they gave us a good cut of beef. Both the regular pork and the gochujang 3gs were also marinated really well, though the gochujang might be too spicy for Chileans…

They gave three side dishes, and they were all really. The set also comes with a bowl of ramyun. We asked them to make it semi-spicy, and it was not too spicy for my Chilean friends and husband at all! And they loved it (of course who doesn’t like ramyun 🙄)

The cocktail drinks were also really good. The yuja highball was not too sweet and not strong at all. It’s pretty refreshing to have to cut all the grease you’re getting from the meat.

Atmosphere: it reminds me of bbq places in Korea and I love that the music is not too loud. Even though the place was pretty full, we didn’t have to yell at each other to talk. The chairs have storage space, just like in Korea. I think the only thing they need is the spray at the exit 😂

Service: I was a little afraid of having to wait for a long time, but we called to make a reservation a few hours before (google reservation showed that it was full), and there wasn’t any problem. It seems like if you come in large group (5+), you would have to wait a bit for the tables to be available). Service was great, though I felt like there weren’t enough servers. However, everything was quick.

This place is even better than some places in America where you pay around the same price! My husband and I loved it, and we will definitely come back again! (maybe in 6 months because of...

We love Korean food to the point that we have been to Korea twice already and are planning our third trip this July.

This BBQ place made us happy to put it in simple words. The kids enjoyed their meat and the pancake, tekboki and Dag Galbi as well as the vegetarian mando were tasty and did not disappoint.

I guess what I liked most is the atmosphere, the portions that remind the Korean big appetite but also the spiciness that we could get and miss in the southern cone of the Americas.

It is a place I would definitely return to on my next visit to Chile and I am on mission almost...

It's everything you would expect out of a Korean bbq place. The experience of cooking your own meal at the table is something that you don't experience much in Chile. And to add up there is so many Asian people that eat here so it makes it waaay more unique.

The prices are ok for the amount of food you get. I ordered a 2 person combo and took a lot back home cause it was so much. 3 people could eat out of a 2 people meal.

I recommend getting things to cook at the table not the already prepared meals, that's the magic of the dinning...
