" I had a fantastic experience at Sookdal! The aged pork belly was a revelation; I didn't even know pork could taste this good! The sides were fresh and delicious, particularly the take on traditional kimchi. Plus, the atmosphere was lively without being too loud. The service was attentive and friendly, making sure we were taken care of from start to finish. Highly recommend this place if you want to indulge in delicious Korean BBQ. " (*Curated Review*)

" Best experience ever! Sookdal exceeded my expectations! The flavors of their pork are unmatched, and the cooking method enhances that taste even more. The service was youthful and energetic, adding to the fun vibe of the place. Also, their kimchi stew was a welcome surprise and so good! A must-visit for anyone craving meat. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had the chance to try Sookdal recently, and I was genuinely impressed by the depth of flavor in their dishes. The aged pork belly was the highlight of the night, and honestly, it was so good that it made up for the rather lackluster service we experienced. I think the place has great potential, and once they iron out the bumps in service, they'll be hard to beat! 3.5 for the food, 2 for service. " (*Curated Review*)

" Not the best Korean BBQ experience I've had. While the food was good, I didn't feel it was worth the wait time. The service seemed a bit disorganized and we had trouble getting our orders right. They did, however, have some delicious side items, which redeemed them a bit. Overall, I’d rate it a 3; much improvement needed for the service. " (*Curated Review*)

" What can I say? Sookdal has won me over! The pork belly here is just on another level. The unique side dishes they offer tasted creative yet still traditional. Service was a tad slow, but it didn’t bother me much because I was thoroughly enjoying the food. I plan to introduce all my friends to this gem of a restaurant—5 stars for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had such high hopes for Sookdal, but I left feeling a bit underwhelmed. The food was decent, but when things didn't go as planned with the service, it took away from the overall experience. I think they could improve on better staff training or simply being more conscientious about customer interactions. Good food, but there's room for improvement in service. " (*Curated Review*)

" I went to Sookdal and I must say, the quality of food is off the charts! They age their pork perfectly, and you can really taste that difference. The side dishes are also remarkable and definitely complement the meats nicely. The only downside was the long wait; I could time it better next time! Overall, a 4.5 for the food alone. " (*Curated Review*)
