Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Ate in this restaurant with the family. 8 adults, 2 teenagers, 1 kid and 1 toddler. They served us 3 sets. Food was good. We ordered the mild spicy. My son and 72yo mother who are not spicy food fans were able to take. After the ribs are done, they use the same platter to fry the rice. Overall will recommend.

The back ribs and cheese are so delicious! Fried rice is fantastic too. Tuna rice balls are superb! I highly recommend you try this James Cheese Back Ribs restaurant at Myeongdong

The rib was amazing! Along with the cheese, it made me full the whole day but in a very good way! But I must say the services in South Korea typically tend not be "very good", but the food was good! It's also a little pricy compared to other dishes you can find in the city.

Was really looking forward to trying these ribs but encountered a waitress who wasn’t happy we didn’t order enough, I had my children with me who weren’t eating and she was very insistent we didn’t order enough even though we told her they weren’t eating. Got up to leave and she then agreed to our order but by then we were over it. So unfortunate and won’t be back due to the service received.

This was the worse restaurant I've been in my entire life. We order some pork which in the menu pictures looked good and we had was a big bone with a bunch of skin but no meat at all. Cost was 34000 won for 1 meal only, Food as cold and had no taste at all! extremely price for the quality of the food they offer. Place was empty, I'm wondering why! Will never come back!

Wanted to try other items on the item we came as a group of 5 was forced to order minimum 5 portions of the pork ribs and the waiter had a very bad attitude kept playing his phone and ignoring when we wanted to order

Its a small restaurant, 2nd floor at the heart of Myeongdong! Cheese and ribs! They'll cut the ribs individually, they would wrap it in cheese and eat it with your hands, plastic gloves provided.

The cheese ribs had great flavor and the cheese blended in well with the sauce, however the ribs were lukewarm even when they were supposedly grilled in the pan by the staff, instead of piping hot. The fried rice was quite good, but service was mediocre as the staff member only mixed the rice for a while and had us to mix it ourselves, although supposedly at other tables the staff fried it for the customers.

We were looking for a place for dinner and came across this place and decided to try. Interesting concept! They only have 1 main dish of ribs in their menu, you can choose the choice of cheese which you prefer (total of 3 choices) as well as the level of spicy ness on your meat. Ribs are tender and soft. The waitress assisted us in wrapping the melted cheese on the ribs and serving them to us. We ordered a Fried rice too and what they do is the waitress will come over to your table with the Ingredients and fry them on your stove on the table. Came here around 530/6 pm hence was not crowded and waitress was attentive. Worth a try!

The ribs wrapped in cheese are delicious, juicy and soft. It's fun to eat here too as they provide gloves and you can eat with your hands. We were there with two kids and found that even the least spicy ribs were too spicy for the kids so we ordered tuna mayonnaise with rice and seaweed instead. The dish turned out to be the biggest hit with our kids! They got to mix the rice which was served in a bowl as well as ate with their hands. If you come here with kids who can't have spicy food, we highly recommend the tuna mayo rice. They will absolutely love it!

It's a must to try up this Cheese ribs. It's superb! Although it looks very cheesy but once you eat you will love it. Small place so have to go earlier. Worth waiting actually. Will definitely go back if we go to seoul.

This restaurant actually was on my list ! It’s really famous among Thai people. It’s on second floor. So you must pay attention to find it ! Really recommend to try if you already come to Myeongdong !!!

Friend recommended this place, at first I am not too keen to try as I am particular with the cheese I eat. But turned out, the food is nice. But has to eat the ribs hot (but has to be careful and not to burn yourself) as the cheese will harden after awhile. It is also quite hard to coat the ribs in cheese

Myeongdong
Arguably Seoul’s most famous neighbourhood and undoubtedly one of its most popular, Myeongdong takes shopping and eating to new heights, with hundreds of shops, restaurants, and cafes all stacked on top of one another. The rise in popularity of Korean cosmetics, fashion, and more has made this area a must-see for visitors who come and marvel at Myeongdong’s often frenetic pace and energy. Lotte and Shinsaegae’s massive department stores are also popular draws for both Korean and luxury products. The department stores, just like Myeongdong’s streets, are crowded around the clock. Myeongdong’s many street food carts are also immensely popular for their inexpensive and quirky offerings (French-fry-encrusted corn dogs, anyone?). The neighbourhood’s popularity, as well as its close proximity to other popular sights and neighbourhoods, makes it one of Seoul’s most popular places to stay.
