The Silver Room is worth visiting before wonderful meals at this restaurant. Taste something unusual from the Korean cuisine. Many people visit Bigsuda to try nicely cooked pork soup, soup dumplings and fried prawns. Good sundaes, tiramisu and pancakes will impress you at the first bite. It's a must to order delicious bitter or good beer while coming to this place. This place is famous for great tea.
The cosy atmosphere of this spot makes visitors feel relaxed and have a good time. The patient staff welcomes guests all year round. The professional service is something these restaurateurs care about. You may be impressed with average prices at this restaurant. The terrific decor is a significant plus. 4.8 is what Bigsuda received from the Google rating system.

I don't like to give poor reviews unless I feel I have a compelling reason. I am leaving this one because I had an identical experience a few years back, but forgot it entirely until reliving it tonight. For some quick context, I ordered three dishes for myself at about 7 PM after subsisting on nothing but a few protein and granola bars all day, cycling 6 miles, completing 30 minutes of strength training at a day that started at 6 AM-- so I was VERY hungry and quite tired. My principal gripe about this experience is that I am disappointed to have spent $54 (no drinks ordered, tip not included) only to be dissatisfied with both the portions AND the quality. I ordered three dishes, which were for some reason served to me one at a time. This seemed very intentional (the next dish was brought out the exact moment I finished the previous one and the waitstaff was attentive while I was eating), but I have no idea why they would do this. I ordered galbi & pork pan-seared mandoo, lamb gochu twigim, and fried rice. The mandoo were served first. The presentation was very nice, and the dumplings tasted quite good both with and without the dipping sauce. I highly recommend the dumplings. Next came the lamb gochu twigim. This was 100% where I went wrong. $19 for what amounted to three very thin taquitos. The description of this item reads "lamb, jalapeno, horseradish, basil, sesame." Lamb should not be listed as the first ingredient. These were more batter than pepper and more pepper than lamb. In fact, I'm not sure it was a stuffed pepper at all rather than some bloated mixed filling inside a thick spring roll wrap. The sauce did not pair well with the twigim either; it did nothing to cut through the richness of the roll and would have been better replaced with a traditional sauce containing vinegar or lemon juice to cut the fat with acidity. I strongly feel this item should be reworked or eliminated from the menu. That's how much I did NOT like it. I am almost positive the staff knows it is awful since the waiter did not seem to know what the item was when I ordered (I had to point to it after reading it aloud and repeating myself) and the kitchen seems to have intentionally served it between two better dishes. In any event, it is an abomination, an affront to the culinary arts, and it reads dishonestly as it is listed on the menu. What came next was the shrimp egg fried rice. The egg was served over easy rather than scrambled, but the rice did not have kimchi, gochujang or any element that would justify this decision. The rice was cooked fine, but the bean sprout, scallion and sesame are such light ingredients that I felt I was just eating a bowl of shrimp and egg whites in oily, yolky rice. I will say, the shrimp was quite good and there was a healthy amount in the dish. Overall, though, this plate, too, was underwhelming. My principle complaint boils down not to the portion or the price, but the inconsistent character of the menu. That is to say, I would not have minded spending $60 on food for myself and leaving less-than-full had I at least enjoyed the meal. It is my belief Bigsuda is a strange fusion of influences that only marry well in the dumplings. While I admit there may serve more dishes that do this well, I would not gamble the money it would take to discover them. Food: 3 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 3 Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $50–60
