Kongju Restaurant — Restaurant in Wang Mai Subdistrict

Located within the 5-star Prathumwan Hotel, this restaurant boasts a grand décor, especially at the entrance, immersing you in the anticipation of a luxurious fine-dining Korean experience.

However, the reality diverges from this expectation. The taste feels more akin to a nostalgic visit to a small, old-school Korean BBQ joint from a decade ago, during the initial surge of the Korea craze in Thailand. The meats lack the high-quality touch, veer toward the generic side and a little bit too salty.

The service isn't top-notch, even when it's not too busy. It's a bit challenging to get their attention, and there's a tendency to forget orders, making the overall price tag feel a bit high for what's on offer.

In a nutshell, I enjoyed the restaurant's ambiance, creating an exquisite atmosphere. The food holds its own charm, the unlimited time is nice but it's caught in a dilemma where you could find an equally satisfying Korean BBQ buffet at half the price or opt for a significantly superior a la carte premium Korean BBQ experience at the same price (that just a kilometer away from...

Everything is delicious! I recommend to try anything you like, they are all good!

My best choice is always Japchae, tofu and beef finger.

The meats are mostly marinated. The advanced option like specialty meat, seafood are not available even you called in advance. I thought I could have the Korean oyster but it was not available.

I went there in mid Jan 2021 and it’s sill quite a under pressure of covid-19. So, the veg is served with plastic wrap.

Smallest VIP room...

A Korean restaurant on second floor of The Pathumwan princess hotel. I remember that when I was just a young boy, our family love to have a Korean style dinner at this place. This time we going back, something had a little bit change. But for overall we still love this restaurant.

This is the first time I order the Korean Yukhoe, raw meat with egg seasoned with soy sauce and mixed with Pear. I, personally, fell in love with it. Even my mom, who doesn’t like having raw dishes, also said she love it.

Special dessert, SOO JEONG KWA, still be our most favorite on the table.

Recommend you all...
