Worst experience ever. Después de muchas recomendaciones, y de vivir 4 años en Seul, me decidí a ir a este escondido local. Puntos a favor: -Lugar secreto. No esperas lo que vea detrás de la puerta -Buen ambiente -Tomate una Coca-Cola, saca un par de fotos y listo, no comas allí. Putos a mejorar: -Con reserva a las 9pm, no nos dan la mesa hasta las 9:22pm -Precio muy caro para platos muy pequeños. Deberían llamarlo delicatessen. Las porciones de la BBQ son simbólicas, para un precio de 16$. -Nada que ver con comida Coreana. Es más bien una cocina "lo que el chef diga y suene a Coreano". Citan ingredientes que luego no usan, las mezclas son horribles. -Platillos que deben salir cocinados, salen la mitad crudos y aunque te quejes no te lo cambian. -Lo que ellos llaman Dumplings, salen fríos, duros y con un sabor super raro. Lo único que vale es la salsa. -Arroz al estilo de Shanghái. Ni lo pidas. Arroz blanco con cebollitas y nada más a 14$, cantidad muy pequeña. -Lo más importante. Te traen la cuenta y te incluyen ya un 18% de servicio. Creo que fue el momento más cómico de toda la cena. Después de un servicio pésimo, una comida por debajo de la calidad del McDonalds y un gerente simbólico y pasivo, que me quieran obligar a pagar un 18% de propina... Increíble. Una pena, la verdad, es un lugar con mucho potencial pero con una pésima cocina, y una peor dirección. $60 por una cena muy escasa y con un pésimo servicio en un local muy curioso para un par de fotos

Food was medicore and overpriced (the gochujang and beef bbq were average). Menu did not resemble a regular Korean resturaunt. I addressed this with the waiter and he described their menu as "American Korean" (interpret that however you want, they seem to). The menu is structured differently than any US based Korean resturaunt Ive been in. Theyve taken a typical US Korean resturaunt structure and tried to charge for everything. Banchan is ordered separately and individually priced (quite highly I might add: $6-12 each for typical freely included items). I was originally going to order my favorite Korean BBQ style dish, beef bulgogi, but changed my mind after I discovered the portion was 4 oz at $18 and didnt even include rice. As another reviewer stated, I felt like I was in a used car lot when ordering--the server kept pushing to maximize meal expense in subtle passive aggressive ways. Apparently, public (tap) water in Miami is poison, or thats the feeling you get when ordering tap water and not $10-20 bottled water--but many places in SoBe seem to follow this trend, to be fair. The servers go above and beyond and stir your dishes for you (seriously? Why?). They include 20% gratuity automatically and I didnt see this written anywhere but I could have overlooked it. Cost for two bibimbaps (they call it a "stone bowl"), no banchan, and tap water: $46.

Im a very picky person when it comes to everything - esp meat. We called day of (Friday) for a reservation for the table with a stove top so that we could experience the BBQ. We got there at the time given to us (10 PM) but had to wait 30 mins until a table was available. We ordered a bottle of wine and appetizers at the bar. The fries are delish. Couldnt try the tuna tataki pizza but I suggest you try it as it is a popular dish. Papaya salad was spicy! We got our table and ordered skirt steak and tenderloin along with chicken (which had a bigger serving) it was AMAZING way better then what my Bf and I expected we were truly shocked since we read reviews and werent too sure to even go. Anyway so that was really good then we ordered the D & D rice along since it would be diff from anything we have tried (the waiter suggested Shanghai rice) overall it was great! We ordered the tre leche for dessert which had a Korean Asian twist to it and it was so effing good!!!!! Then we ordered the smores which I wasnt a big fan of as the chocolate was dark and thats just a personal Preference . Our waiter Kevin was really helpful, informative, great conversationist he earned a $15.00 tip on top of the 18% they charge. Great service! Will be visiting for the happy hour menu to see what it offers. X x

After almost a year that Ive been wanting to eat here, I finally did. The food is really good, amazing must say. Lobster rolls, beef, mushrooms, snapper, I even ate the veggies and I dont like them much. I would totally recommend the place, however...the parking. I got there an hour before they opened which was the time of my reservation. I went around for a walk with my girlfriend and came back right at 6pm. I saw a valet parking sign but since I was already there I just ignored it. After I was on my table I had to go back to my car to get my glasses and when I was about to go in the valet parking guy stood in front of my to tell me I had to pay $15 for the valet. After talking to the guy about why I needed to pay I was ready to just turn around and go to another place but my girlfriend was inside and I didnt wanted to ruin our anniversary and my birthday so I had to swallow it. When we finished our dinner and walked out the valet guy just ran across the street to get my car from the CVS that is right there. So if you want to have some great food and amazing service save yourselves $15 from the valet and park anywhere else. Save that money to tip your server.

If you didnt already know about the Drunken Dragon from a friend or online review, you would more than likely pass right by it every day and never think twice about the location. I love how the plain exterior is such a stark contrast to the beautifully decorated interior. Whomever decorated that restaurant paid attention to every nook and cranny! We didnt make reservations for dinner, so we werent seated at one of the tables where you can cook your own meat. However, that didnt negatively affect our experience that night. We ordered the Peking Bao, Skirt Steak, Short Rib, D&D Fries, Lobster Roll, and the Tuna Tataki Pizza. The Peking Bao was OUT OF THIS WORLD! The dough was so fluffy and the duck was tender and juicy. I wish we had ordered two of the D&D Fries--they were the awesome shoestring fries that had just enough heat that left you begging for more. I wasnt a huge fan of the Short Rib because the meat was really tough, but the Skirt Steak was really tender and tasty. I definitely plan on visiting again to try out more menu items. Next time Ill know to make reservations for one of the tables where you can cook your own meat!

Uno de los mejores restaurantes en los que he comido en Miami. Diseño del lugar muy cuidado, desde fuera no te puedes imaginar lo que vas a encontrar dentro. Arquitectura y diseño de interior. Excelente servicio, los camareros están muy atentos de los comensales sin ser invasivos. Muy buen ambiente de gente. La presentación de la comida es estupenda y está todo riquísimo. Un poco caro, pero merece la pena. Altamente recomendable!

Considering its location in a nondescript strip mall, you could walk right by the Drunken Dragon without knowing it was there—look for the "MARKET" sign to guide you into the space, which deceptively offers lofty ceilings, a long, dramatic bar, and sleek wooden midcentury chairs. Food here (the menu is helmed by The Dutch, Nobu, and Zuma alum Xavier Torres) is served Korean barbecue-style, so while youll order a few sides for the table (the bok choy is a crowd pleaser), the main event is really a plate of raw cuts of meat that guests grill themselves over specially designed flames at the center of the table. The drink menu is appropriately dramatic, focusing on Tiki-style rum cocktails, and you can enjoy them well into the evening, as the restaurant stays open until 6am on weekends.
