4/5
TLDR:
Friendly staff (no English) and tasty Bulgogi (different kinds available) for 10.000₩ p.p.
Go as group or pair, it's not suitable for singles; ordering 50/50 of two kinds of Bulgogi is also not possible.
Ordering works by filling in a paper bill with the dish and drink options, so you have a short moment to look at it.

Tips:
1. You are served a clear soup and block of dough along with your Bulgogi. You are supposed to flatten (pinch) the dough and rip it into thumb sized flat sheets and drop them in the soup.
2. Our (garlic) Bulgogi was served without the typical Bulgogi sauce; there is some sauce at the self-service counter which you could use.
Restaurant:
The restaurant is located close to the shopping center of Jeonju and has a warm Ambiente. When we were here it was mostly empty and not noisy at all.
The staff was friendly but spoke no English at all.
Food:
The Bulgogi is served on a grill embedded in the table and a few side dishes are available which you are free to refill at the self service counter in the back of the restaurant.
You have multiple options of Bulgogi available, amongst others "Garlic Bulgogi" and "Spicy Bulgogi".
One thing you may know from eating Bulgogi or Samgyeobsal is that you always have too few leaves to wrap your food with. These you can also just refill as you please. 🙂
Taste wise the Bulgogi was... Good. But not outstanding. It was our first time eating it in Korea and we felt that we missed the typical Bulgogi sauce which we later discovered was standing on the self service counter as well.
Service:
The service was very good. The staff was understanding and did their best to help us order in the correct way (no mixing possible). The older staff member was especially friendly and showed us how to use the dough for the soup. It was a little embarrassing as she continued to flake the whole dough for us - but now we know. See tips above about what you should do with the dough.
