The facts

Opened in April 2014, James Cheese Back Ribs is one of the most popular restaurants among the Korean these days.
First opened in the district of youth and vitality Hongdae, it's been gaining a lot of attention for its new menu-Back Ribs with melted cheese.
The back ribs are served on a hot iron plate that's divided into 6 sections. The back ribs and melted cheese are in the middle and the rest of the sections are filled with mashed potato, sauce, sweet potato and egg. You can also choose the level of spiciness of the back ribs.
People usually eat flying fish roe fried rice after they're done with the ribs.
Because this concept has been attracting so many people, the store is spread all over not only Seoul but also Korea. Major branches are in Wangsimni, Sinchon, Gangnam station area etc.

Had this for a farewell dinner for a friend. They have quite a few branches and also apparently "copied" versions in Hongdae, so be sure to go to the right store!! You have to choose the level of spiciness (I think?) and they go by per pax serving, I paid around 18,000/pax. If you are not a big eater, it's definitely enough for you. For me, I thought it was little expensive for the portion, I would not visit often because for the price I could get better food. Nevertheless it was good! The meat was marinated well and goes pretty good with the cheese. They have other side dishes provided. After finishing the ribs you can choose to add on fried rice which is cooked with the leftover ribs sauce. On weekends night, its quite crowded, so be prepared to wait or have your dinner early!

I do not recommend this place that much. It is not worth eating it with that expensive price. I felt as if cheese and the ribs does not mix together and was quite disappointed with the taste. Friends and I couldn't eat all. With that price, you can eat much better foods for sure.
