🐷 BORNGA Korean BBQ Dunnan Store 🐷
Are there any friends out there who, like me, really love Korean BBQ? 🧑🤝🧑
This time, I recommend a Korean BBQ restaurant that has opened in Taiwan, BORNGA.
Founded by the well-known Chef Baek Jong-won, who is renowned in Korea, this brand is based on taste.
The dining options are very diverse, satisfying not only the palates of Korean food enthusiasts but also connecting with friends around the world who love Korean cuisine.
Since all their sets include beef, I decided to go for the à la carte option this time.
I ordered the honey-glazed pork ribs 🐷, which are pre-marinated and tend to be more salty, so there’s no need to add any extra sauce—they're flavorful enough by themselves.
Pork belly 🥩,
You can't skip ordering pork belly when it comes to Korean BBQ, right?
I think the texture of the meat is great, but it is quite fatty.
But pork belly is inherently a fattier meat; it pairs well with some kimchi, garlic 🧄, and lettuce 🥬 for a refreshing bite.
Honeycomb pork belly 🐝,
Cooked evenly over charcoal using a specific knife technique,
has a different texture compared to regular pork belly, and I quite like it paired with a vegetable platter—it’s super refreshing.
I also ordered a large pot of Doenjang (fermented soybean paste) tofu,
which I found to be very rich in flavor and filled with lots of ingredients.
I highly recommend this as a must-order dish.
Their side dishes can be refilled without limit, so you can keep ordering until you finish,
but please don’t eat the lettuce platter too quickly 😂.
🎖️ Kang Ho Dong Baekjeong BBQ 🎖️
This day, I went with colleagues to a highly-rated Korean BBQ restaurant, and I was mentally prepared to indulge myself. As soon as I entered, I could smell the mingling aromas of charcoal and meat, and I was instantly tempted and felt hunger pangs. Then, I had a classmate who firmly believed that Korean BBQ is all about the condiments... I thought, "Not really..."
We ordered the most classic pork belly, and when it arrived at the table, I could see the perfect marbling. The meat slices were covered with a marble-like fat texture, looking like a piece of art about to dance on the grill. After placing the pork belly on the grill, with the sizzling sound rising, the fat gradually melted, releasing a rich aroma that was simply irresistible! Each piece of pork belly was grilled to be crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, paired with garlic slices, onions, and Korean dipping sauces, creating a rich, layered taste that shot my happiness levels through the roof. Oh oh oh!
On the side of the grill, there was also a layer of egg mixture and cheese. As the temperature rose, the egg gradually solidified into a golden, tender baked egg. I enjoyed it quite a bit, and I could keep refilling it, so refreshing!
However, just when we were happily eating, suddenly! The restaurant fell into complete darkness. The power went out! All the lights in the restaurant went off, and amid the chaos, I saw the staff immediately pull out flashlights without any change in their expressions and continued grilling meat at our table. Their dedication was truly admirable; they truly deserved to be known as "Shenzhen’s hardworking staff."
Under the dim light of the flashlights, we continued to enjoy this hard-earned delicious meal, as if the taste of the BBQ became even more unique. Although the power outage added some unexpected twists to the dining experience, it also gave me greater respect for the service attitude of this restaurant. With such dedicated staff and delicious Korean BBQ, this is definitely a place worth revisiting!
This is a Korean restaurant that offers both deliciousness and nutrition. It's located right next to Park No. 4, and once you try it, you'll become a regular customer! The prices are affordable, and the portions are quite generous! Plus, the amount of vegetables is noticeably more than that of other similar Korean restaurants. So far, everything I've tried has been great; it's really impressive!
🇰🇷 Kimchi Seafood Pancake
This is the best seafood pancake I've ever had! It's made with real ingredients, and there's a generous amount of kimchi and seafood filling. It's extremely flavorful and delicious! I always have to order this dish every time I visit.
🐷 Vegetable Pork Bibimbap
The amount of vegetables is huge! The portion size is also very large. One serving is definitely enough to fill you up XD.
🍚 Stone Pot Chicken Bibimbap
I added cheese to it. After mixing it evenly, it tastes really good! My friend also thinks it's great. We ended up finishing two small bowls XD.
🍖 Copper Plate Grilled Pork
I didn't expect that the grilled pork on a copper plate would also come with some vegetables and enoki mushrooms. It's really tasty! After cooking, there will be some broth left, which is quite oily and a bit salty. It goes well with rice, but I wouldn't recommend drinking it on its own~
Side Dishes
There are a total of 6 varieties, and you can refill them infinitely 👍👍.
We ordered quite a lot, but that's actually because we brought two lunch boxes to pack food for our lunch the next day, so we ordered more. When we were ordering, the owner and staff kindly reminded us, "This will be too much for three people!" How considerate~
Although there’s a sign at the entrance saying they accept LINE PAY, they actually don’t at the moment – only cash is accepted! ☎️ Business is booming, so I recommend making a reservation in advance! ➡️ It's better for three or more people to dine together, so you can enjoy a wider variety of dishes. (By the way, this restaurant was recommended by my grandmother, and I think she's amazing; her taste is really good! 🤣)
There is another Korean barbecue restaurant in Pingtung. When I pass by and stop at the red light, I can always smell the delicious aroma of grilled meat. This time, I finally have the time to taste it. Initially, they offered single set meal options, but recently they changed to an all-you-can-eat vegetable option, which is really fantastic and fits the Pingtung people perfectly (after all, we love all-you-can-eat so much 🤣).
As long as you order a single set meal, you can enjoy a buffet with various ingredients, including drinks, coffee, braised pork rice, and ice cream.
I recommend the Korean army stew, which is loaded with cheese and instant noodles. It's super indulgent but incredibly satisfying. Fish cakes and rice cakes are a must. If you find the flavor too light, there’s kimchi available at the buffet.
The ginseng chicken soup base is also amazing. They serve a large chicken filled with glutinous rice, and the meat is incredibly tender. The bones surprisingly dissolve with just a gentle bite, making it a really impressive dish.
#Sanxia
This Korean barbecue is located in the Beida Special Zone of Sanxia.
It is one of the few establishments that has been open in Beida for a long time.
As far as I know, this should be the only one offering copper plate barbecue in Sanxia.
Today is a weekday evening, and I brought my kids for dinner.
For meat lovers, this is really not bad.
There aren’t a lot of types of meat, but it’s enough.
We mainly had pork belly, lamb belly, and sukiyaki beef.
The pork is quite delicious; it cooks quickly and is very tender.
As for the sukiyaki beef, it has a lot of tendons, and my child found it a bit hard to chew.
The lamb belly is labeled as restructured meat, but it tastes pretty good.
It has a bit of lamb flavor, but it's not overwhelming, and the meat is tender.
The seafood offered for all-you-can-eat consists only of shrimp and clams.
You can order a maximum of two portions at a time (about 12 clams and 5 shrimp).
You can only reorder after finishing what you’ve ordered.
The self-service bar has some simple leafy vegetables and hot pot ingredients you can grab.
There aren’t too many options, given that it’s not primarily a hot pot place.
One disappointing aspect of the side dishes is that the kimchi doesn’t taste good.
The acidity and crunchiness are both lacking.
The rice cakes in the spicy stir-fried rice cake dish feel like they’ve been soaked for a long time.
The texture isn’t great; they’ve become really mushy.
The dining time is 90 minutes.
Even though there weren't any customers after us,
the staff still politely asked us to settle the bill right on time. 😆
Overall, I feel that the advantages are:
Although the variety of meats isn’t too extensive, the quality is satisfactory.
The self-service bar offers white rice, which is suitable for kids.
The dining space is quite spacious.
The ventilation system in the restaurant is pretty good; it doesn’t feel smoky inside.
Next time, if I plan to dine here, I will choose a weekend.
I’m not sure if there are fewer customers on weekdays,
but I feel that the quality of the self-service bar isn’t very good.
If you enjoy copper plate barbecue, you can still give this place a try. The meat isn’t too bad; after all, it’s the only one in Sanxia. 🥹
It’s been a while since I visited Hongdae Entrance Canteen
The ordering method has also been updated. Now you can order through your mobile phone.
Mainly divided into barbecue and disc dishes
This time we ordered the Golden Plate Pork Set for Two
After ordering is completed, the service staff will come to confirm the meal.
The side dishes will be attached later. Side dishes can be added.
That day it was kimchi, pickled apples, radish, garlic, and cucumbers
Many types
If you want to order barbecue, we recommend pork belly and Matsusaka pork.
Since there was no pork belly that day after the typhoon, I didn’t take any photos!
Side dishes and lettuce for barbecue will be provided one after another🥬
Then there will be a dedicated person to help with the baking, so you can concentrate on chatting with your friends😆
It's very considerate that they have partitions to prevent burns or sprays
The barbecue will be cut into sizes suitable for wrapping the meat with lettuce
There are also side dishes of pumpkin, onions and king oyster mushrooms
Overall, the portion size is just right for girls.
It is recommended that people with big appetites add some white rice!
Be careful as some of the rice you eat with your hands is hot.
It’s really cute when pinched into small pieces!
The baked eggs in the set meal are highly praised by us.
Soft and moist baked eggs, the bottom is burnt and the edges are fragrant, salty and delicious
The set pork and tofu pot comes with a bowl of rice
The soup is very rich and fragrant, very authentic!
I think the overall package combination is quite good.
As for the price, it’s about $500 per person for three people to share.
The dining space and environment also have the atmosphere of a Korean restaurant
If you have the opportunity to dine near Kaohsiung Central Park Station
I recommend everyone to try it!
After you’re full, you can go shopping in Xinjuejiang~
We all went to this restaurant together because a friend recommended it.
Originally, there were not many time slots that could be reserved online.
When we called, they said we could just arrive earlier!
So I suggest that if you don’t see your favorite time on the Internet,
You can call us directly and ask!
Because there are more of us
So we ordered
❤️troop pot
The army hot pot here is divided into large and small portions. You can decide what you want to order based on the number of people coming~ But I think the small portion is already too big! It’s basically too much for two people to finish, so it’s best for three people to share a small portion before ordering anything else! The troops are pretty good~no big problems! If you like to eat army hot pot, you can just order it without thinking~
❤️BBQ set meal for two
The barbecue set meal for two makes me think the overall Cp value is very good. The meat includes beef and pork! The seafood section includes scallops, prawns, and oysters! For the rich portion, you can choose seafood pancake or bibimbap, and it also includes an extra rice cake pot! After such a set meal for two, we actually ate it for three of us. The meat part was very soft and tender, and the seafood part was actually fresh! The most important thing is that there will be store staff to help bake ~ most of it we just need to keep opening our mouths to eat!
❤️ Oysters🦪
Although there are oysters in the double set meal, they are too big! So we ordered three more! You can feel that the oysters are frozen, but they don't smell like oysters. They are still fresh oysters!
Overall, I would probably eat there if I thought about it, and I feel like I could take my friends there for a meal if they come! If you like Korean barbecue, you can consider checking it out~
It was a gathering of friends, so I just ordered the group package without any thought.
The meat is very big and of good quality. I personally think the pork is a little tough because it was roasted for too long, but the beef is totally fine and delicious.
Recommended kimchi pot, lots of ingredients and good seasoning; don’t recommend the fried chicken, the skin is thick and the meat is thin, the meat is very dry when eaten after it has cooled down
There is quite a lot of lettuce given, and many barbecue restaurants only give a few slices, which is great~
You can refill unlimited side dishes. You don’t smell like oily smoke after the meal. The staff will help you grill them. It’s a good dining experience.
This is an all-you-can-eat Korean barbecue restaurant. It is easily full during holidays, but compared with the past few years, it is difficult to find one. Now you can basically make a reservation at this restaurant, and it is not necessarily possible to go there. There will be a queue, but business is still pretty good.
I guess the reason why the popularity has declined slightly is mainly related to the increase in prices, because the food and decoration inside are still of a certain standard.
As for the food in this store, the beef or marinated beef is actually very ordinary and not worth recommending. In addition, they have many types of set meals, and the ingredients they provide for the higher-priced ones are actually not that good, so it’s better to just order the lowest-priced all-you-can-eat option.
Among the all-you-can-eat menu at the lowest price, the food that can be recommended is the spicy pork belly. It is fried and crispy and paired with lettuce, kimchi and garlic. It is salty, refreshing and greasy at the same time. In addition, the chicken can also be pinched a little bit, but it is not as delicious as the pork belly.
Then there is another item in this store that I think is delicious, but that people may not eat, which is their toast. Their toast is very delicious when eaten directly, and it is crispy and fragrant after being grilled. It is just because this is an all-you-can-eat restaurant, so I think most people will not eat it with toast. 😂
I often passed this Korean restaurant when Red Dot was still open, and it didn't look particularly eye-catching from the outside. After drinking a lot of champagne this weekend, I wanted to find a Korean restaurant, so I thought of giving this one a try! Unexpectedly, I became a customer the first time I tried it. I liked it very much.
There are actually not many seats in the store, they are all small round tables, which visually cannot accommodate too many people. Because it was a bit early (around 5pm), we ordered the pork platter for $999. I personally think the portion is generous and very cost-effective! There are three kinds of meat: pork belly, plum blossom and pineapple, plus various vegetables, such as onions, potatoes, sweet potatoes, king mushrooms, etc. You can refer to the photo. The whole process of baking is done at the table, so you don’t have to do it yourself. There are also a variety of Korean side dishes with unlimited refills, and they all taste great! Paired with beer, the two of us were so full after eating it... I recommend that those who love Korean food must try it!
