You don’t see many Korean stores in food courts, particularly in the heart of the CBD. Gochuzang bucks this trend by providing authentic cuisine in the Renaissance Arcade food court. The store offers 15 dishes and half a dozen vegetarian options which are variations of the available dishes.

Today, I ordered the Sizzling Stone Beef Bibimbap. The meal was ready within 15 minutes of ordering. The presentation of the meal was nice, particularly how it was laid out on a gold foiled food court tray. The beef was lean and marinated well. The vegetables were fresh. The stone was piping hot. While everything looked good from the top, the meat and vegetables were only a thin layer on top of a large quantity of rice. There was too much rice, not enough of everything else.

The meal itself was OK, but I felt they were too conservative with the main dishes. Come here if you want to load up on carbs.
