Mr. Park BBQ — Restaurant in Jakarta

First time trying this resto. But unfortunately but truthfully, i have to say that, it is way below my expectation. I was expecting barbeque vibes, but i did not feel it and more important is i did not taste it. Im still debating myself, whether it is because the pandemy situation or whether the resto just trying to maintain cleanliness or something else, i dont know. But below is based on my personnal experiences. The food variety is not as many as the "neighbour" bbq resto (about 3 stores next door, ish? Not remember the exact location, sorry), but the price suprisingly a bit pricy (some even more expensive than the neighbour). quite a lot variaties of the side dishes, although the kimchi was just so so. But you could ask for refill for them, as well with the ice tea (typical korean bbq i guess) They grilled your meat for us,

• • but they did it at the front side of the resto, so we did not experienced barbequing by yourself and all the smokes are sucked out, so we did not smell any aroma of meats being grilled. For me, its big minus =( , as it really decreased the feeling of having a barbeque meat. As for the bright side, your outfit is odor free (hahaha).
• After they grilled the meat, they served it on your table. But again, because there is no grill on the table, the meat cool down real fast :( . the staffs did a good job on grilling, no burn at all, so we did not eat any burnt meat (some says, burnt meat is bad for your health) but again, because there was no sign of a single/tiny mini burnt meat, it just look like the meat are not grilled/barbeque, instead like been cooked on a teflon? (non sticky pan). Again, less sesation of barbeque. =(

Oh, im not the only one who think like this. I dine in with my niece, and she felt the same. Dissapoint coz we were hoping to have barbeque meat, with the unique aroma, but at that time we just want to try...

An authentic korean restaurant in MOI. Small establishment with 10 tables, but not cramped.

Serving halal and non-halal meat. Grilled and cooked on your table or separate one.

Banchan are enough, not too little but also not many. The raw vegetable to wrap also just enough. Fresh and crispy.

Seafood soup - sundubu jji gae tastes very nice, sour and full of umami. Kimchi soup - kimchi jji gae also very similar but the sour taste is more refreshing. Love 'em! Comes with a bowl of rice.

We tries also dwaeji galbi and sam gyeop sal. They taste very delicious, dependa on how you mix and wrap them in the vegetable.

Korean tea is provided, but you can order anything else. Alcoholic drinks probably are being offered as well. Sorry I didn't know, I was busy chewing. 😁😁😁😁😁

Dessert: watermelon and iced coffee. Very refreshing to close the deal.

The price is pretty much affordable to this delicious food. Some people think the garlic is too strong, IMHO it is a matter of preference. Anyway, garlic is one of Korean food elements.

Recommended? Yes...

I used to like this restaurant... They served authentic Korean Foods especially their Korean BBQ... We just had our dinner there... We brought our friends along... N all of sudden the waiters told us but now they have new rules... Only 2 times refill for Banchan... Before it was unlimited refill just like all Korean Restaurants... I mean when they served a small portion of Banchan... Like 3 small pcs of Eggplant while there were 4 of us... Of course we need a refill... N with only 2 times refill it's kind of ridiculous... We ordered 4 portions of meats with this kind of refill rules ??? We better choose another...
