Shilla K-BBQ — Restaurant in Georgetown

We had a wonderful dinner around 5 pm Thursday before it got too busy. This restaurant has a contract with the new Hyundai factory to feed the factory workers so the overall feel of the restaurant is different from your typical kbbq. I felt like I was in Korea eating a meal. The side dishes were different, (warm sauteed radish I think, sesame spinach, and fish cake) with a side of napa cabbage kimchi. We ordered the marinated beef and pork belly. We asked for lettuce for wraps. Instead they provide if you ask, a refillable lettuce onion salad with vinegar that also pairs well with the meat. We also received the steamed egg with our meal. The rice was the same kind I had in Korea- heukmi bap(Korean purple rice/black rice). For my husband and me, the amount of food was a great amount. I was very full! They were very sweet to give us a probiotic drink at the end of our meal to aid in digestion. Keep in mind that this place just opened about a month ago in October/ November 2023 and they are only open to the public for dinner. The main proteins I saw available were beef, pork, and eel. I do not recall chicken or tofu but there might have been a stew in the meals part of the menu. The meal will cost less if they cook for you but will cost more for you to cook at the table fyi. Ironic but that is how you kbbq so enjoy respectfully. Excellent hospitality. Will...

Me and my husband and our friend drove out really far just to have korean bbq we were so excited! Once we entered the restraunt they weren't friendly at all and gave us attitudes smacking their lips and two servers turned us away and told us that their not going to take us at all and told us to reserve. I've never seen a korean restraunt treat us horribly like this. All three of us left mad 😠. I would save your time, money and energy and just go somewhere else and eat. This place isn't going to last long treating customers like this by turning them away, because those two servers we have nothing good to say about this restraunt. 😒

• The owner tries to just say sorry with no sincerity, and walk away from the problem by writing a stupid comment.. no your not really sorry. And also if your not open than don't put up signs your open and explain on your site! There is way better Korean bbq restraunt this isn't the one we won't...

This restaurant is supposed to specialized in eel bbq rather than traditional Korean bbq. As for the eels, I find it’s decent. I think it is precooked and so the meat dried out a bit. The bbq is pretty average. We also ordered fermented bean soup (dwenjang jjige) and I can feel that it’s different than most Korean restaurant. This place seems more like home-cooking so it is less salty which I kinda like it but if you prefer standard Korean restaurant flavors, you will have to take the risk. When we went the restaurant was empty even though it’s Friday night and I’m not quite sure why—it could be the price tag. We spent like $90 per person and I have to say that it’s pricey...
