About this place
Some diners come to Koshuka for the gamjatang. One visitor described a richly flavoured broth infused with pork, yet not heavy on the palate; the potatoes were fluffy, and the meat came easily away from the bone. Another diner also named it as a favourite, making it a tempting choice for a meal shared around a hot pot.
For barbecue, the samgyeopsal grilled on a crystal plate stands out in reviews. Diners have praised its fragrant, juicy meat and savoury flavour, while another recommended the pork in particular. Pork belly also appears in set menus with lettuce wraps and Korean home-style dishes, a convenient way to centre the meal on grilled meat while sharing a selection of sides.
Among the dishes to share, the kimchi pancake has drawn specific praise: crisp on the outside and chewy within, with the tang of kimchi adding a bright note. It sounds equally suited to a pause between bites or a drink alongside. Reviewers have also liked the generous filling and seasoning of the japchae, which is included in a home-style set. One diner enjoyed gejang with black bean makgeolli, too, so the table can take in Korean dishes beyond barbecue.
This Korean barbecue restaurant in Akasaka offers dine-in, takeaway and delivery. It is open Monday and Tuesday to Saturday from 17:00 until 4:30, and reservations are recommended for dinner. For a leisurely meal, choose between making the hot pot the centrepiece or sharing samgyeopsal and small plates.
