Food: Flavourless and overpriced
Kyungbokkung lacks any top-rated dishes and the ones they do serve leave much to be desired. The taste is underwhelming and the quality of ingredients questionable, failing to meet even basic freshness standards. The stingy portions and overpriced mediocrity make you wonder if they think their customers won't notice. The lack of variety doesn't help either, serving only to magnify the restaurant's culinary shortcomings.
Very Creative
Unique, creative culinary approaches with unconventional ingredients praised.
Low Quality
Some dishes bland, tasteless, or had texture issues, disappointing expectations.

Vibe: Exquisite ambiance, disappointing buzz
The blend of modern and traditional Korean elements creates an upscale ambiance that is clean and inviting. It makes for a romantic date setting, thanks to the private rooms and separators littered around the place. However, despite the lovely surroundings, spotty service and a lack of alcohol options mar the dining experience. The lack of buzz is strangely off-putting.
Great Ambiance
Mix of modern, traditional Korean vibe, upscale, clean, and inviting ambiance.
Bad Drinks
Overpriced and no alcohol options criticized for diminishing dining experience.
Perks: Kudos to parking but that's it
Ample parking isn't usually the highlight one is looking for when they dine out but at the Kyungbokkung it might be the only positive aspect. The outdoor dining experience fails to meet upscale expectations. The persistently slow service leaves you feeling neglected and disappointed. Not even the kids' amenities can make up for this neglect, instead emphasising the lack of wholesome experience.
Easy To Park
Ample, easy parking enhances dining experience, positively mentioned frequently.
Okay To Hear
Ambience generally praised; one review notes potential noise in main area.
Bad Service
Service persistently slow and neglectful, negatively impacting dining experience.
