" Yongsusan Restaurant is a hidden gem in Koreatown! I absolutely loved the set meal we selected. Every course was a delight, showcasing the essence of traditional Korean cooking. The galbijjim was exceptionally tender, and the side dishes were a perfect complement. However, the service was somewhat slow, which detracted a little from the overall experience. Still, the high-quality food and the elegant setup definitely made it worthwhile. I would tell anyone to try their multi-course experience for a genuine taste of Korean culture. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had the pleasure of dining at Yongsusan for a family celebration. From the start, the service was impressive; our server was friendly and attentive. The highlight of the meal was definitely the grilled eel—rich and full of flavor. The course meal was plentiful, featuring an array of well-prepared dishes. Each dish was a testament to authentic Korean cuisine. The only downside was a slight odor in the dining area, but it didn't overshadow the overall quality. I will definitely recommend this place for anyone looking for a special dining experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're in the mood for authentic Korean cuisine, Yongsusan won't disappoint. I was impressed by the range of dishes available and the quality of the ingredients. Each course was rich in flavor and well-balanced. My favorites were the bossam and the black cod. However, the service left something to be desired; we had to ask multiple times for water refills, which is unusual for a restaurant of this caliber. Overall, a solid choice for traditional Korean food, just manage your expectations regarding the service. " (*Curated Review*)

" I have been coming to Yongsusan for years, and it has consistently delivered on authentic cuisine. The traditional course meal is something I always look forward to, particularly the rich flavors of the short ribs. However, I must say that the service has declined in the past couple of years, which is unfortunate. Nonetheless, the environment is still host to wonderful memories, and I’ll continue to patronize this outstanding restaurant in the future. " (*Curated Review*)

The friendly staff and elegant design of the restaurant added to the experience. I took a star off for service because we had to wait a bit longer than I expected for our order. However, the food made it all worth it! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you are looking for a genuine Korean meal, look no further than Yongsusan! The variety of courses truly showcases what traditional Korean cooking is all about. Each dish was crafted with care, and the flavors were spot on, especially the bossam and eel. The attention to detail in the presentation was also commendable. My only critique would be the service staff, as they seemed overwhelmed and the waiting times were longer than expected. Regardless, I plan to return for their amazing food! " (*Curated Review*)

" During my visit to Yongsusan for a dinner event, I was delighted with the authentic feel of the restaurant. The attention to detail in the food preparation and presentation showcases their dedication to Korean culinary traditions. However, there was a significant hiccup with the service that left a sour taste; our main courses were delayed considerably. While the food did redeem itself, there's room for improvement in the service area. I will consider returning with an understanding of these hiccups. " (*Curated Review*)
