This is the best korean BBQ restaurant in Jakarta. The side dishes are legit and the service is awesome. Limited parking apace but you can always use valet parking. For BBQ menu, minimum order 2 portions per table.

One of the best Korean BBQ in town.
Very recommended

It's been a while since my last visit (more than 2 years ago) but it's great to see that everything is still top notch in quality and services

Might be a bit crowded on a weekend, but even during weekdays there are numerous customer coming in for lunch as well. However since there are 2 storeys available, seating shouldn't be a problem as far as my experience tells me.

Glass and utensils are cling wrapped for cleanliness. Very good point from health safety perspective

Price are still as reasonable as it used to be (before the pandemic) and portion is a bit smaller but quality is maintained accordingly

All the staff are friendly and have great knowledge of menu, cooking skill also gets a thumbs up

The only thing that can be bothersome is parking. There's valet available but never tried them out before. Maybe others can share better regarding parking space in the location

Food / meat are okay. But somehow the flow and service are alot to be desired. Asking for things had to be done several times. Some waiters look clueless. Responsiveness are not good either. Many waiters but no real organization i feel

Slow Response. The waiter is not friendly at all. There are insects in the lettuce. Absolutely will not come here to dine in anymore.

One of the original korean BBQ restaurant in Jakarta that tastes absolutely delicious. With the fresh ingredients, good quality, perfectly cut and the variety of the menu, especially the balance between flavor and the price, this place deserves to become one of the best korean barbecue place in town.

A well decorated and clean restaurant with plenty seatings in both 1st and 2nd floor, which make this place is suitable for family with young kids and friends gathering in a big group. Not to worry about the facilities such parking area, toilet, wifi, because they are all available. In terms of friendliness, product knowledge, and the effieciency, the service was amazing.

There was a table service here, and once the burning charcoal is ready, the assistant will help us grill the dish. Note to self, make sure not to forget to order the grilled garlic, as well as the sesame dip for the best combo.

Absolutely a must try !!! One of the new outstanding place in the already packed row of restaurants, thought it was the expansion of the old Magal restaurant in the other block, but turns out it's not.

This restaurant is the officially franchised restaurant recognized by Didim, the parent company of Magal (or Shin Mapogalmaegi as they know it in South Korea). We can find the certificate posted inside.

Uniquely situated next door to the already established competitor, I was curious to try even though we have to wait for a while during the packed Saturday nite.

I tried their popular selections which is Mapo Galmaegi (also the name of the restaurant) which is marinated pork skirt meat which taste sweet, while the meat are tender and juicy. They also have the spicy version called Maecom Galmaegi.

For the beef, I ordered Kkotsal Jumulleok (marinated boneless short rib) which I found delicious and also the beef tounge which tastes well above average.

Their Japchae has the alluring aromatic taste, a bit exceptional than the others. I also love their Galbi Yukgaejang (spicy beef back rib soup) and Doenjajjigae (soybean paste stew).

On the side, I tried Jumeokbap (rice ball) which I found interesting since we can make it ourselves (if we want to) and taste good.

Service was quite efficient and attentive, and the prices are reasonable. I would say more value than most Korean establishments in town.

Overall, we have quite a feast and would definitely love to come back and crave for some more.
