Food: Stellar food with tricky portions

The fresh, invigorating taste of Wharo's Korean BBQ and Kobe beef leaves diners in a gastronomic paradise. Their Dolsot Bibimbap, with its crispy texture and flavorful blend, corroborates their mastery in culinary innovation. However, the charm slightly loses its appeal with surprisingly small portions and high prices creating a dent in the overall food experience.

  • Great Quality

  • Okay Taste

    Food received as tasty but sometimes not justified by the price or portions.

  • Bad Value

Vibe: Embracing ambiance, dodging drinks

Wharo's ambiance is a marvelous cocktail of stylish, modern, and cozy, setting the mood right for any date night.

Perks: Ample parking, dubious service

The parking at Wharo's is a respite for drivers, ample and free. The restaurant's kid-friendly nature, with tailored meals and high chairs, is worth noting. That said, one might feel underattended or even ignored due to long waits and occasionally, the demeanor of the staff.

    Free, ample, and easy parking frequently highlighted as excellent.

  • Okay For Groups

    Good for groups but can get busy; reservations are recommended.

  • Hard To Reserve

    Ignoring guests, long waits, not seated despite empty tables, reservations needed.
