Food: Flavor-filled, yet pocket-burning

When you taste Baekjeong's top dishes, you would keep coming back. The taste oozes out from the prime rib eye, seasoned prime boneless short ribs and premium steak, all described as tender, juicy, and of high quality. A feature quite noticeable is the freshness of meals, adding to the superb taste of meat. Their portions, unfortunately, fall on the smaller side, and at their prices, more quantity is expected.

  • Okay Variety

    Menu is simple and straight forward, offering quality over quantity.

  • Not Creative

    Menu keeps it basic, with nothing new or inventive to try.

Vibe: Hip spot, famed for noise

Baekjeong exudes an ambiance that is modern, clean, and lively, enhancing the dining experience. It pops on your feed due to its trendy atmosphere, further amplified by an extensive selection of cocktails and wines available. Yet, the volume button needs a bit of adjustment as the loud music often makes a normal conversation nearly impossible.

  • Great Buzz

    Trendy, buzzing, and photogenic spot, often highlighted in positive reviews.

  • Bad For Dates

    Excessively loud music and bright lights disrupt a potentially romantic date night.

Perks: Thriving group spot, amid chaos

Despite Baekjeong's friendly stance towards large parties, the perks end there. The parking can be a hassle as it's often difficult to find space. If you usually enjoy quiet discussions at dinners, brace yourself for the loud noise. Also, the lack of reservations and certain dietary accommodations might leave you second guessing.

  • Great For Groups

    Accommodates large parties with great service and spacious seating.

  • Okay Outdoor

    Outdoor seating nicely decorated but not the same as dining indoors.

  • Bad For Diets

    Lack of dietary accommodations and veg options leaves customers dissatisfied.
