" I recently tried Chung Ki Wa with my family. The kids were excited, having heard from their friends how good the food was. We tried a variety of dishes, but the highlights were definitely the marinated beef and the kimchi pancakes. The flavors felt authentic, and my son who is usually picky, devoured everything! The staff was sweet, making sure our drinks were always full. We got a bit of everything, and it was all very enjoyable. I look forward to our next visit! " (*Curated Review*)
