“ If you are in Columbia and you wanna try the authentic Korean flavour in a very inviting atmosphere, 929 Kitchen & Bar is your place. We had the Mandoo as appetizer and the Beef Bulgogi Japchae, both were delicious. As a dessert we tried the Hotteok with Ice Cream and the Triple Chocolate Cheesecake, outstanding as well. The service was quick and very kind. We didn’t have any booze this time but the bar has many interesting cocktail and soju options. I recommend this place 100% ”
“ We went for dinner. Everything we got was absolutely delicious. The favorites of the night were the braised short ribs and the creamy curry udon with beef bulgogi. The shrimp was also very delicious. They have a very nice selection of bourbon. There were several selections that my husband has been wanting to try. I had the summer night martini and it was perfect for me. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. She was able to answer all our questions and made great recommendations. Our food came out in a timely manner and the servings sizes were just right. We will definitely be back soon. ”
