"Koreans are used to having the dish in summer when they sweat a lot and need to replenish their strength. But in China the dish is also very popular in winter, because Chinese guests love drinking hot soups to warm their bodies," says Guo.

The grilled steak is another dish that many guests rave about, according to dianping.com, a website for people to review and comment on food and other services.

The beef is immersed in a specially prepared sauce that includes Korean soybean sauce and fresh fruit juice for two days before it is served, so that the ingredients are fully absorbed, according to Guo.

The beef is tender and has a delightful salty and sweet taste. In addition, the restaurant uses the natural Chinese oak in roasting the steak in a way that avoids annoying smoke, says Guo.

The restaurant's decor, which integrates water, wood and stone, makes it a nice getaway from the hustle and bustle and makes for an enjoyable dining experience.

Many of the restaurant's ingredients, such as salt, soybean sauce and white sugar, are imported from the ROK,

Guo says that Korean ingredients taste different from their Chinese counterparts. Chefs follow strict recipes in cooking every dish.
