AI Summary

Carnegie's long-running Korean kitchen serving sizzling galbi, bulgogi and kimchi jjigae.

Busy, no-frills neighbourhood Korean dining room with hot-plate sizzle and scissors on the table. reviewers describe a canteen-style buzz that gets loud on weekend nights.

Galbi arrives on a hot plate to stay warm through the meal, with scissors provided to cut portions at the table; jjamppong (Korean-Chinese noodle soup) also features on the menu.

Long praised for authentic Korean flavours, though a customer since 2008 reports a shift away from traditional preparation (minced beef in bibimbap, ribs instead of backbone in soup) since an apparent change in ownership or kitchen post-COVID.

Mostly seen as reasonably priced for generous portions, though several 2026 reviewers felt value has slipped since side dishes started being charged separately.
