Find Your Flavor, Savor the Moment

The Dining Experience

At INSA, the centerpiece of the meal is the tabletop grill, where diners can cook a selection of marinated meats and fresh seafood to their liking. Popular choices include thin-cut pork belly, bulgogi beef, spicy chicken thigh, and teriyaki seabass fillet. Each dish is accompanied by fresh lettuce leaves, pickled cucumber, bean sprouts, and a variety of dipping sauces like gochujang, garlic oil, and a flavorful dry spice mix, enhancing the depth of flavors and allowing for personalized taste combinations. 

For those seeking a more relaxed experience, INSA also offers expertly prepared Korean dishes without the need for grilling. The menu features a range of options, including the indulgent cheesy sweetcorn—a delightful side that balances the savory meats with its creamy texture and sweetness.

Ambiance and Service

The restaurant's modern design, coupled with its state-of-the-art ventilation system, ensures a comfortable dining environment free from smoke and odors. The attentive staff are always on hand to assist with grilling techniques or to provide recommendations, ensuring that both newcomers and seasoned Korean BBQ enthusiasts feel at home.

INSA's commitment to quality and authenticity has not gone unnoticed. Patrons frequently praise the restaurant for its delicious food, engaging atmosphere, and exceptional service. One diner shared their experience, noting, "The meat was so good and all beautifully presented."
