The Dishes
Wang Cho offers an impressive array of Korean barbecue options with marinated meats taking center stage. The pork jou stood out as a favorite, featuring a nice texture that made it particularly memorable. The marinated meats overall were incredibly flavorful and arrived in generous portions. Beyond the meat, the restaurant excels with its banchan and soup offerings.
The dumpling soup was a standout item that left the reviewer addicted to its combination of a nice clear broth with really rich umami flavors. Additionally, the restaurant offers soybean stew and kimchi stew for those seeking warming, flavorful options. The noodle and rice selections were equally impressive, featuring a spicy noodle option, fried rice, and an amazing garlic noodle that pairs beautifully with the barbecue. A cool noodle dish impressed with its light, not-too-heavy composition, making it an excellent side to everything else on the menu.
The Experience
The refreshing drinks served in super cute teddy bear cups added a delightful touch to the dining experience. These beverages help balance out the saltiness of the various meats, making them a thoughtful pairing option. The all-you-can-eat format encourages diners to explore the expansive menu without worrying about additional costs per item.
