Beawon

Okay so my sister and I went here. They didn’t give me a lid for my takeout. the waitress only showed up ONCE. They didnt know how to use their credit card machine. Their food is too overpriced and not that great… Not coming back.

Beawon is usually an enjoyable experience. We’ve only had an issue once with them putting the meat on the grill and letting it nearly burn, but 1 time out of 10 visits is a pretty good average. I highly recommend this restaurant.

The service here is suck. They control everything but I don’t want it. Never ask for the customer when they do it. Food is fine.

One of my favorite Korean restaurants so far in Cherry Hill. I came here with my boyfriend and dad one afternoon; we were looking for a Korean BBQ restaurant with an actual BBQ grill to grill the meat ourselves. Although their Unilocal rating was only 3.5 stars, we decided to give them a try anyway.
Décor is beautiful. My dad loved the bamboo decorations around us and the spacious eating area. The individual hoods over each table definitely helps with all the smoke — great planning!
We ordered their «BBQ combo B for two» which was $ 45.95. It came with bulgogi, spicy chicken thigh, shrimp, and spicy pork. Side dishes included kimchi, spicy cucumber, beansprouts, spicy eggplant, a salad, and another dish I forget the name of. We all loved the side dishes, especially the salad! The spicy pork and bulgogi were marinated nicely and tasted delicious with the dipping sauces. Chicken was a little tough, though.
Our server was great! She was very down-​to-​earth and pleasant to talk to. (Although we didn’t get her name, she has short curly hair and speaks English well). She helped BBQ the meat for us, which is nice, but we preferred to do it ourselves.
Overall, a nice experience. Would definitely be back!

2 ½ stars.
Came here for lunch on a Saturday because we had originally thought Hmart had a food court. Service was OK, a certain busboy had quite an attitude when we were asking for certain items. For a BBQ restaurant, it was surprisingly not as smelly or smokey which is great bc that’s the worse thing about BBQ joints.
For lunch we ordered:
Seafood & scallion pancake, small — nice size pancake. Disappointed in the nonexistent amt of seafood within the pancake itself. It consisted of red bell peppers, scallions, and tiny pieces of squid (?). The exterior was crispy and the flavor of the batter was seasoned nicely. The saving grace was definitely the dipping sauce.
Kalbi bibimbap — grilled BF short ribs, rice, fried egg, and glass noodles. The flavors were a nice balance of char and salt. I was a little bit surprised and disappointed that it didn’t come with the traditional components of bibimbap: mushrooms, bean sprouts, carrots, & spinach. The beef was a little bit chewy, almost like it wasn’t grilled/​cooked long enough. Sigh.
Tofu soup w/​kimchi — not the best I’ve had. The broth was a little bit too «seafoody» in taste. The «regular» spiced soup option was actually quite spicy. Bleh.
Banchan & kimchi — there were 5 dishes total. The kimchi was deliciously and slightly spicy. The squid & peppers had some heat to them. The tofu triangles were a little bit fishy. The Mac salad was GROSS. The mayo was broken/​separated. It had no flavor whatsoever and to top it off, it was WARM.
Complimentary barley tea & icy ginger and rice dessert. I didn’t try the dessert, but hubby said it was pretty good and refreshing. Lightly sweetened with a hint of ginger.
Overall, this place was OK. Nothing spectacular like what I’ve had in the past at other Korean restaurants. If I never came back, I wouldn’t be sad. The selections are quite slim, I didn’t really look at the BBQ selection bc we weren’t interested in that. The kimchi and banchan options were very limited & unimpressive. These little side dishes are what makes the meal substantially better. Sigh. The search for yummy Korean food on the east coast continues.

Authentic Korea flavor, I try the Kimchi soup, very good. I love it. There are also many Korean like there’s~

I got the spicy chicken dolsot bibimbap. I think they should take off the «spicy» from the name because it was definitely not spicy. Overall, service was decent and the water was perfectly cold. Maybe I’ll come back next time.

It’s good and we sometimes use here when we have a farewell party because there is a private room.
If you had opportunity to go to here, I suggest you would order Karubi only.

In recent years, Beawon has been my go to place for Korean cravings in the South Jersey area. Plentiful of banchan (small side dishes) to accompany your meals, which are all reasonably priced~
Great for both small and large intimate get together because they offer both single and group valued meals. Relatively large selection of food options; service is the average if not better (depending on time), but all in all pretty attentive.
Would definitely recommend checking out if you are new to the area (:
Also, there’s a small H-​Mart right next door, so if you are on the wait list to get seated or if you’re simply just stuffed to the max and need to get in a small breather before hitting the road, you can just walk around the super market.

Occasionally stop by here for lunch and it’s pretty good. Lunch box specials are very filling. Frequent customer card is great! 10 meals = 1 free meal (up to 15 dollar value). If it’s free it’s me!

Fantastic Korean BBQ experience on the east coast. Considering I’ve had my fair share of LA Korean BBQ nights, this one was memorable. We ordered the $ 99 Combo made for 3 people and we split it between 5 and it was the perfect amount of food. Service was attentive, but not overly friendly or overbearing. Location is a bit obscure, but if you are in the area, who cares. Parking and seating was easy for a Sunday night.

based on my past couple visits in the last 6 months, this place has returned from one of my worse dining experiences to A-​OK!
i have no idea about the history of this restaurants. but it’s safe to say for now that it’s not a bad choice for korean food in the area.
service might still be slow– but it’s tolerable. staff might not be overly attentive so don’t be shy and wave them down if needed~ lol
food wise~ we usually order the Kalbi for BBQ. we also tried the pork belly before but it was bland. our recent favorite is the hangover soup~ it is especially nice on a super cold day! another favorite is the kalbi dolsot– my brother’s go-​to b/​c they take out all the bones for you and gives you a generous portion of the kalbi :) pretty decent job on the marinating too~
it’s super close to my home so i’ll be stopping in again~
ps. don’t forget that loyalty card! if you collect enough visits on your card, you get a free appetizer!

Needless to say we’re spoiled living in SoCAL with Korean BBQ choices, Baewon is fine if it’s all there is… But when you’re from somewhere that offers ayce Kbbq then this ends up being a real lackluster experience. The main reason we go to Korean BBQ is the MEAT but at Baewon the one part of your meal that has the smallest serving is the meat! Lol. I’ll just wait till I go back home to the OC to have my KBbq where I am actually the one who cooks the meat on the grill myself (why don’t they let you grill your own meat here?)

I’m such a Korean Bbq kind of gal. Every town I visit, I look for Korean Bbq. I enjoy this restaurants full service. The servers actually cook for you at the table. I love Korean bbq!
The bulgolgi is sweet but not too strong in flavor. My kids usually eat the chicken that’s not spicy. It’s not bad, but still a little weak in flavoring also. Their side are pretty good. This is the only restaurant I know that served kkanpungi. It’s spicy and sour chicken. There is not too much batter and flavoring is on point

In general Korean food tends to be a tad bit expensive, especially when it comes to Korean BBQ. Beawon is a great place that’s «nearby» (I mean’t around the south Jersey area). They have plenty of parking because it’s in the same area as H-​mart (Korean grocery market).
Anyways I’ve been to plenty of Korean restaurants and there’s nothing too special about Beawon. They have very friendly staff, but some of the dishes lacked flavor… which is why I’m giving this place a 3 star. We ordered a bunch of different soups/​noodle dishes along with a «group meal» which included BBQ and other small dishes, but the restaurant really seem to skimp out on the meats. BBQ in general at Beawon is like $ 20-​$ 30 per meat dish to BBQ and they give so little of it that it basically only feeds maybe 1 – 2 people (1 being a dude and 2 being girls) It’s sorta pathetic how small the BBQ portions are compared to other Korean places.
The next thing is DON’T TRY the seolleongtang that they have here… I ordered it because it’s supposed to be a difficult and delicious Korean soup dish, but it honestly tasted like rice water with very little meat in it. I was very disappointed…
Also I’m sure many people like to take their time eating and chatting with their friends, but I’ve been to Beawon maybe 2 – 3 times and each time without fail they seem to rush their customers with eating. I have never had a relaxing meal here because before you even finish one thing they try to squeeze in other dishes on your table making it hard for you to even eat. And if you do eat longer they stand there watching you until you finish. It was pretty uncomfortable eating here being rushed and all.
So in general Beawon had nice staffs (though they don’t talk too much) but it’s pricey, too rushed and food wasn’t that amazing. So personally I don’t think I’d want to come back again. IF you really want to try Korean food it isn’t a bad place to start if .you’re willing to cough up more money vs going to Philly/​New York

Please ignore my Old Review!
This is the Place to take a first date! The Service, Food, and Atmosphere are GREAT!
I Strongley Suggest you bring a good Bottle of Chilled Riesling, Or SAKE, and order the Korean BBQ for 2. Cheaper than going to a Local Brand Name Steakhouse. You’ll get stuffed on all the side dishes. You’ll get Marinated Rib Eye, Pork, Shrimp, and Chicken. Cooked right in front of you and your special one! You can actually carry on a conversation without NOISE! Peaceful, Friendly, atmosphere with Excellent Food and Service. I continue to come back while shopping at the «H» Mart!
ENJOY!

With regard to taste, this was a great meal. There are some factual changes from prior reviews by others, so please read on. First, an older review states that sushi is no longer served here. Not so. The word «Sushi» is emblazoned across the outside of the building and there is a fairly extensive Sushi menu within the main menu. So if one or more of your party is in a Sushi mood, don’t fear.
Speaking of fear, I always thought that Korean food was supposed to be too spicy for American tastes. This is not a problem at Beawon.
Two of us shared the «Number 9 Korean Bar-​B-​Que for Two.» It includes a sampler of shrimp, pork, beef, and chicken where the pork and chicken are in red menu font indicating spiciness. It was all wonderful and nothing had close to the spiciness of Hot Wings typical of any American bar. Instead, the proteins were all brought to our table, prepared by our server, and wonderfully and fully flavored, and in no way unacceptable to the American palate. The proteins are preceded by a half dozen small dishes of various Korean «salads» of which only the Kimchi (Korean cabbage with a bright red sauce) could be classified as very hot. I loved the Kimchi. If you are cautious around spicy foods, take a small bite or skip just this one item. The meal is also preceded by a small salad with a very mild dressing. While I thought the salad was just OK, my wife really liked it.
For those who really want zero spice, the menu item «Number 8 Korean Bar-​B-​Que» offers four proteins without any «red» font. (For anyone who appreciates mildly flavored foods, I still recommend trying Number 9.)
My wife ordered a stew with multiple shell fish. Yes, the shrimp in Korea are cooked in their shell to maximize the flavor in the broth. Yes, she loved it all anyway and would order it again.
This meal totaled $ 27 per person including tip, but no alcohol. (I did not notice if this was a BYOB or not. We weren’t drinking spirits this evening.) If my wife had a regular entrée instead the stew, the bill would have been closer to $ 30 per person.
Some reviewers observed that there were staff on hand who spoke English and could explain menu items. Maybe this is so on weekends or the staff didn’t realize we were asking for help. We tried speaking with three different people, none of whom seemed to understand what we were saying beyond our pointing to menu items to order. However, everything we ordered was brought promptly, prepared cheerfully, and was enjoyed immensely. Either we were lucky to have ordered what we did or perhaps everything is as good as the other reviews suggest.
A few other observations: I called ahead to confirm hours of operation and to see if reservations were needed. It took three conversations with three different people before someone who understood English well enough to answer the question, «What time do you close this evening?» During the week, it turns out, the answer is 10:00 PM, not the 10:30 posted on Unilocal.Also, reservations are not required or needed on weeknights.
The restaurant is clean, modern, well decorated, and suitable for romantic evenings. There is a gas grill in the center of each table where the Barb-​B-​Que is prepared. I liked that the tables are far enough apart that the noise level is low and there was no problem at all conversing with my dinner partners.
My only real complaint for the evening is that the front doors were propped open and the very cold night air came into the dining room every time someone entered the restaurant through the inner doors. The presence of a space heater at the front desk was not a sufficient solution and both of my dinner partners agreed to insist to sit far from the front door on future winter evenings. Note to management: Never prop open the front doors in the winter in New Jersey. This small item could ruin the dinner for someone sensitive to cold drafts. Close the doors and kill the draft and I would add another star to my rating.
The bottom line: The top quality of the food in a restaurant with a quiet and comfortable atmosphere makes this restaurant appealing. The problems noted were ones that can be easily fixed. This was a pricey meal, but well worth it. The materials were fresh, of top quality, and of wonderful taste.
We hope to return with more friends to sample more of the menu.

I feel that one should allow leeway when reviewing restaurants that cater well to groups, and Beawon does indeed seem to suit groups well.
They do have an extensive repertoire for a Korean restaurants (good Korean restaurants tend to stick to one or two types of dishes and milk those ad infinitum) but I guess it’s somewhat expected out of a «Korean BBQ» restaurant.
I tried the Spicy Tofu Soup (soon doobu) and it was disappointing in a calculating way; the soup was barely spicy, even though I ordered in Korean and requested it to be made very spicy, there was barely any seafood in the soup, and they also elected to use firm tofu over softer alternatives. The side of steamed dumplings we ordered was decent and definitely home made as far as I could tell.
On the positive end: even with a group of 10+ people, Beawon made sure everyone had food on their plates, and the wait staff was very accommodating; they brought out a special fried banana ice cream-​esque dish for the birthday girl when I asked if they had anything special in terms of birthday treats.
My take on this place is that it should strictly be treated as a KBBQ restaurant and nothing more, if you don’t want to leave disappointed.

This is a place that it’s better off going in a large group to split things up and share.
The food was pretty good.
The service was okay we were seated kind of late. And there weren’t that many people there.
The interior was a little tacky.

No you are not seeing double. The two waiters, Dave and Paul, are identical twins. Servicable soon dubu after supermarket shopping at the adjoining H Mart.
