I visited the Tsuruhashi store in Osaka, but this was my first time at the Kyoto store. The interior of the store was nice, similar to the other locations. The menu has changed a bit, but the main dishes are the same. I started with a draft beer and ordered the Bulgogi, which was delicious. The side vegetables were smaller in portion compared to Korea, and the garlic was in chip form. The perilla leaves are no longer on the menu. Sunny lettuce is included, but I added more because the portion was small. The staff grilled the meat for us. After the Korean-style meal, I mixed Kimchi stew with rice and sprinkled Korean seaweed on top. It was amazing. I also had Chamisul, so I was in a good mood. In Korea, you can get refills of vegetables and Kimchi for free, but eating and drinking the same way will increase the price a bit.

I chose the 3,000 yen all-you-can-eat meat course. There were also other menu options besides meat, so I couldn't have as many meat refills as I wanted. Since the meat was all-you-can-eat, I wished there was also all-you-can-eat choy sum. And if I could ask for more, I would have liked all-you-can-eat kimchi as well. The restaurant allowed ordering through QR codes, and the staff were efficient, which was great.

I had been curious about this place for a while, but hesitated to visit due to its low ratings. However, I decided to give it a try since I happened to be nearby. The restaurant was almost full on a Saturday, and it was quite lively. There were TV monitors playing KPOP, and there were some Korean customers, giving it a slightly Korean vibe. We were seated in the back room, next to a table of Korean girls chatting loudly in Korean while drinking Chamisul. It made me feel like I was back in Korea. We ordered the following items: 2 draft beers, 2 orders of Samgyeopsal (can be ordered for 2 people), 1 order of Bulgogi, 1 Kimchi Jjigae with rice, and 2 orders of additional vegetables for the Samgyeopsal. The total came to 5,820 yen for two people, which is quite reasonable. The draft beer was great, served in frosty glasses. The Samgyeopsal was decent, but the set of vegetables was mostly cabbage, and there was no garlic, green chili, kimchi, or gochujang, only ssamjang. Also, despite it saying "Sanchu" on the menu, they served leaf lettuce instead. The chopped seaweed for wrapping was a nice touch though. The best dish was the Kimchi Jjigae, with a tangy and flavorful taste. The Bulgogi was overly sweet, and we ended up leaving half of it uneaten. The room was quite cold, so we ended up turning on the heater ourselves. The all-you-can-eat option seems like a good deal, but it might be more suitable for teenagers. I would like to go back for the Jjigae again.

Visited for lunch on February 21, 2023, Tuesday. There were a few customers, but the spacious interior didn't feel crowded. Ordered the Spicy Bulgogi set meal with plenty of Sunny Lettuce. It's nice to have lots of vegetables. The meal came in about 5 minutes, with rice, pickles, and soup. Enjoyed it with the Kochujang sauce, and it reminded me of how much I like this kind of food. Finished the meal completely satisfied!

It was a regular weeknight, but the restaurant was so popular that there was a wait after I entered. Despite being a solo customer, they treated me kindly without any unpleasant expressions. Even from the small items like the water container, you could feel the Korean atmosphere, making it a fun place to be. I'm not familiar with Korean cuisine, but the taste was really good, so I highly recommend it!!

The 7-minute pork kimchi stew is cheap and delicious. The addictive spiciness and the unlimited seaweed flakes make it even better. I always regret not getting extra rice. You order through a QR code and utensils are provided in the table drawer. It's easy to dine alone.

I visited the Semaul Shokudo, a Korean pork BBQ restaurant! While other shops were quiet, this place was bustling with many customers, creating a lively atmosphere. The stylish interior and young staff added to the vibrant ambiance. Orders were placed by scanning a QR code. I nervously tried Korean pork BBQ for the first time and it was a great choice! The crispy pork wrapped in vegetables was light and delicious, making it easy to keep eating. It's perfect as a side dish with drinks or as a full meal. The fluffy and light egg dish was amazing, similar to Korean-style rolled omelette with melted cheese. It was a very satisfying evening! Thank you for the meal!

On March 22, 2022, I had lunch at the Korean restaurant "Seumar Shokudo." They have a system where you can order from your phone by scanning a QR code provided by the staff. I ordered the Bulgogi set meal with soy sauce flavor, which took about 15 minutes to arrive. The Bulgogi was served on a hot plate with a sweet and savory soy sauce flavor that went well with the rice. You can also wrap it in lettuce to eat. They are open all day, so you can visit anytime. If you enjoy Korean cuisine, I recommend giving it a try!

I went to the new Seumaru Shokudo in Kyoto recently. The restaurant was filled with young female customers who were big fans of KPOP. I had the lunch set, which was the beef bulgogi set. The side dishes provided were a bit disappointing, but the bulgogi itself was hot and had a rich sweet and savory flavor that went well with the rice. Thank you for the meal.

It is recommended for satisfying the desire to go to Korea! You order from your mobile phone, but the staff cook the meat for you, so you can feel at ease. There are exhaust vents at each table, so the inside of the restaurant is not too smoky. The seasoning is quite strong, so people who don't like spicy food should be careful. We ate and drank to our heart's content with two people, and it cost around 6000 yen, so I think it's good value for money!

In Kyoto's Shinkyogoku Rokkaku, a Korean traditional pork barbecue specialty restaurant called "Semaul Shokudo" opened, run by the famous food researcher "Pek Jeong-won" who is well-known in Korea. Their specialty dish is "Pekpa (Hot Charcoal Bulgogi)", where thinly sliced pork is topped with a sweet and savory special sauce and grilled. For lunch, you can enjoy a set meal (880 yen) with rice, soup, side dishes, and wrap vegetables. There are two flavors available: soy sauce and gochujang. The sweet and savory special soy sauce marinade has a slight spiciness in the aftertaste, which goes very well with rice. When eaten with the wrap vegetables, it brings a refreshing and delicious taste.

All-you-can-eat Samgyeopsal course with all-you-can-drink for ¥4480.

7-point pork kimchi stew for 880 yen. Is kimchi stew supposed to be this sour? I appreciate the generous amount of seaweed, but there was a smell of old oil that really put me off.
