Myeongdong Mongvely — Restaurant in Seoul

Had dinner here twice over a weeks time and found both experiences to be of good standard.

They offer an unlimited bbq set which means you grab whatever you want and refill to your liking. I personally don't eat too much on average and still found it at a decent price to be asking for what they offer.

The meat is of normal to good quality. However depending on the day the quality varies and some beef can be extremely tough to eat.

There aren't many side dishes to choose from since this Kbbq really focusses on max amounts of meat. They have 3 types of beef available and a pre-marinaded bulgogi which I found to be very salty. The (3 types of) pork I I cannot give my feedback on since I didn't have any.

The side dishes are: kimchi, raw union, pickled cabbage and raw garlic. If you want rice you pay one thousand Won extra per bowl and alcohol and soft drinks are not included.

You can upgrade your package to have more types of side dishes and unlimited soft drinks, for anyone who fancies that.

I found both our experiences normal. The service works hard to keep this place running as much as they can and the buzzer service is quick as well. There is however a blond lady working there both times we were there and she is incredibly rude and passive aggressive. If the stress of a Kbbq gets too much I advice you to work in a slower paced hospitality establishment.

The lady behind the front desk though is a delight. You can tell why she does the customer service and payments.

It's not an 'authentic' Kbbq, but it is definitely a nice place to go to and recommend if you are a...

BAD EXPERIENCE AT MONGBEULI!

Yesterday, I visited this restaurant with the expectation of having a delicious meal, but what disappointed me was the attitude and handling of the staff and manager.

Before the meal, I brought a brand new bag of cookies that I had not eaten a single bite of. After leaving the restaurant, I accidentally left the bag of cookies behind. When I came back to ask, I was informed by the staff and manager that my bag of cookies had been thrown away. The reason given was that the restaurant only keeps valuable items, and items such as cookies and candies will be thrown away, regardless of their condition.

What is more noteworthy is the unprofessional attitude of the manager. When I questioned why they arbitrarily threw away the customer's personal property, the manager not only did not give a satisfactory explanation but also showed an unpleasant attitude, seemingly not wanting to have a conversation. Although they compensated for the value of the bag of cookies, for me, the problem is not just about money but about the way you treat and respect customers.

I asked myself: Why is my bag of cookies not considered important? It is also something I paid for and has value to me.

The attitude of the manager and the way the problem was handled at the restaurant made me feel very disappointed. I am sharing this experience so that those who are planning to visit the restaurant can consider and hope that the restaurant will reconsider its service to avoid hurting...

This was the very first K-BBQ restaurant we stepped into in Seoul — and what an unforgettable, one-of-a-kind experience it was! It honestly felt like stepping into a scene from a K-drama I once watched on Netflix: the colors, the aromas, the sizzling grill... everything was just perfect.

From the meats to the leafy greens, sauces, and all the little side dishes — everything was incredibly fresh, vibrant, and appetizing.

The restaurant offers two main set menu options: – Pork & Beef – Pork, Beef & Offal (for the more adventurous eaters!)

Once you pay, you're free to enjoy unlimited meat — yes, all you can eat! 😋 Unlike some other BBQ places, here you pick your meats directly from the refrigerator and grill them yourself at your table — which makes it even more fun and interactive.

You’ll find all kinds of fresh greens, mushrooms, various types of kimchi, sliced vegetables like zucchini and pumpkin, and more — all beautifully prepared.

💸 Set menu price: 29,700 won per person ➕ For an additional 8,000 won, you get unlimited rice, cold noodles, drinks, ramen, and soybean stew — a rich, dark, boiling hot soup brought straight to your table, packed with tofu, zucchini, onion, garlic, chili, and sometimes beef or seafood — intensely flavorful and so comforting.

Thank you, Mongvely, for this truly authentic and delicious introduction to K-BBQ! We'll remember this one for a long...
