The House Chungdam

We just enjoyed an amazing BBQ dinner at House Chungdam, and it was absolutely fabulous! The restaurant boasts a stylish, refined atmosphere that sets the perfect mood. We ordered the pork neck, belly, and jowl, all cooked to perfection, juicy, and incredibly tender.

The flavors paired wonderfully with the variety of side dishes, especially the spicy squid, which was a standout. I also fell in love with the cold buckwheat noodles which was refreshingly light yet full of flavor.

On top of the great food, the staff were warm, friendly, and attentive throughout our meal. If you’re looking for authentic Korean BBQ, this place is a must-try and you’ll definitely love it!

This place offers a refined take on Korean BBQ, combining generous portions, clean flavors, and a sleek modern setting.

Had a wide range of banchan and the squid in particular stood out.

The meat was flavorful without being overly greasy. Unlike many KBBQ spots, the atmosphere at The House Chungdum is calm and conversation-friendly, making it ideal for date nights. The elegant plating and spacious bar seating add a sophisticated touch to the overall experience!

My wife and I were in the mood for some Korean BBQ, so we decided to try House of Chungdam at Duxton Road, after it was highly recommended by a close friend.

I’m so glad I made a reservation in advance because the restaurant was completely packed on a typical weekday night. The staff were incredibly friendly and courteous, quickly ushering us to our table as soon as they found my name.

We opted for the House Feast Pork Set, which came with generous portions of pork neck, pork jowl, and pork belly, along with two side dishes which was perfect for two people. We also added their famous mini cold noodles to share, along with a bottle of chestnut makgeolli (rice wine) to complement the meal.

The experience was fantastic, especially because someone cooks the meat for you at the table. This allowed us to enjoy our food without the hassle of grilling it ourselves, giving us more quality time together. The pork neck and belly were cooked to perfection and the outside was crispy, and the inside remained tender and juicy. The accompanying vegetables were a perfect pairing, and we absolutely loved the variety of side dishes. A great bonus is that they’re refillable!

When the mini cold noodles arrived, we were initially surprised by the large bowl, but as it turns out, it was the “mini” version. The noodles were perfectly chewy and paired beautifully with a refreshing, light broth, definitely a must-try. The two side dishes were a hearty soybean jjigae (soybean stew) packed with beef, and a steamed egg dish that was just the right size for two.

The interior of the restaurant was lovely, and we really appreciated how the space didn’t have that overpowering BBQ smell, which can often linger in Korean BBQ spots. The service was excellent, and the atmosphere was comfortable.

The House Feast set was excellent value for money, and I highly recommend making a reservation ahead of time to avoid any disappointment, as walk-ins might have a hard time securing a table.

House Chungdam is one of the posher KBBQs with a nice ambience and a modern twist. The banchan was great and I particularly enjoyed the squid that was served.

The meat portions were quite generous and tasty. Food tasted quite exquisite and not too oily - rare for KBBQs.

Overall, a fantastic place to impress your date! Thoroughly enjoyed the spacious bar seating and the plating for the sides/sauces/vegetables which elevated the whole experience.

Great quality KBBQ and really good cold noodles. Very friendly staff and amazing atmosphere to hang out with friends.

First time visiting the place. The atmosphere is cozy and aesthetic. The meat was tender and juicy. Really enjoyed their cold noodle and cheese potato pancake
