Galbi Restaurant

3 Chad Marks - 4 years ago

Myself and a friend visited Galbi, as we had heard about a traditional Korean BBQ restaurant, which we had both been wanting to try for some time now.
When we entered we welcomed by very friendly and accommodating staff (we weren't aware that you need to book a table prior to coming in, but we were nonetheless provided with a seat). The restaurant was nicely set up and the decor and atmosphere were good as well.
Beyond this the drinks selection was nice and large, albeit it slightly pricey.
Nevertheless we dove straight into our orders, both of us having the selection of meat which, using the gas fire in the middle of each table, you can cook to your own taste. Regrettably however, whilst the selection of meats available was nice and broad, we both felt that the quality was not as good as we were both hoping. Nonetheless the sides were fantastic though and for the experience I would go back at least one more time with some friends.

Interesting experience where you have the option to order raw meat/fish and grill it yourself, complimented with precooked sides or hot pots.

The restaurant has mainly meaty dishes, with one veg and one fish dish. The food is not too spicy, however you can control this based on your cooking skills or preferences. Portions are not too big either.

Service was pleasant, interior is low-key, however the place does get pretty smokey due to all the coal used by each table for cooking.

This place is a hidden gem, if you want to try something different especially as a group you have to try this!

You basically recieve your food raw, they then provide you with coals which is placed in the center of the table.

You then cook what ever you ordered and then enjoy!

If you want something from your waiter you press the button on the table and they come immediately. I LOVED THIS.

Best part is they are in the entertainer!

Galbi is Korean BBQ restaurant. They serve good quality food . They have good variety of meat . spending time around 1:30 to 2 hours at the restaurant . Because of the Korean way of cooking. It’s fun and fresh way to eat . I like the food and service but the place need some development. I don’t like the area and the entrance. They have one back door and one from the convenient shop. Check the opening hours before you go and try to go in group.

Got 2 free glasses of wine because I booked with Feastfox between 5 - 6 pm and ordered a tasting menu for 2 (great value for money, the pork is delicious). The waiter who served us offered one of the best services in town! He navigated us through the menu and helped us to experience the best the restaurant had to offer, if you want to try the same, book a table with Feastfox and ask for Edward. It's a really cool experience to cook your own food! The experience is great for groups or great business meetings ;)

Great experience, this is something different and different is always good. Great drink selection and the food is yummy. Basically it is a fancy braai in a restaurant, instead of yoir house and you do not have to wash the dishes. We had chicken wings, prawns, springbok, zebra just to name a few and you cook your meat and veggies on a charcoal grill built into the table while having a drink with your friends. A must do in Cape Town, a read hidden gem.

The food experience was great
Unique food options, off the charts!
(I had Zebra u0026 Ostrich)
Decor was good but could be better
Staff friendly but VERY relaxed,
Only one red wine to speak of which is very odd as this aria is famous for wine u0026 it’s a MEAT reastraunt, so mountains of development opportunity here
Most importantly the price points for what you got were extremely reasonable, all in all high spec product with low price u0026 ‘chilled’ service, definitely a hidden Gem for Cape Town u0026 worth a visit, it was quit for me as it was a Monday night but I suspect it would get quite busy so I’d recommend booking u0026 this reastraunt is particularly great for large groups, I would not recommend coming on your own.
