Went because a friend had seen the place on “I’ll Have What Phil’s Having” and wanted to try it. The place has really changed since I ate there two years ago. Not one of the dishes I had is still on the menu, wine list pared back to just five.
Why? Park’s feels like…light years ahead of Kang Ho Dong. I don’t get how the place remains so popular. Is shitty cheesey corn really that big of a deal?
I feel like I am missing the Kobawoo train. When I went years ago for the famous Ssam it seemed incredibly flavorless…is it supposed to be a super bland dish?
Parks feels sterile and boring to me. The banchan is lackluster and the whole meal just seems too pricey and uninspiring. I’ll take Kang HDB any day over that. Although, for higher end KBBQ, I’ll take Gwang Yang over both of them by a long shot.
I don’t really eat KBBQ that often to be honest. But KHDBJ just seemed to really suck when I went compared to Parks, Soot Bull Jeep, Gwa Yang, Eight, etc… heck is rather eat at Star BBQ or Oo-Kook…
I wanted to get some fucking beep beep uni rice and noticed they’re only open for dinner saturdays and sundays now. when the hell did that happen? Business must have been pretty bad if they can only stay open 2 days a week inside a hotel.
