You may ask, what is Korean BBQ?

Answer: Korean BBQ: A Communal Culinary Experience

Traditionally, Korean BBQ, locally known as gogi-gui (meat roast), is a popular communal dining experience where diners grill various cuts of meat—typically beef, pork, or chicken—on gas or charcoal grills built directly into the table. It is more than just a meal; it is a social event focused on togetherness, often accompanied by a vast array of small side dishes called banchan. In San Diego there are several restaurants that feature this style of service.

A typical Korean BBQ feast consists of several essential elements:

The Meat : Includes popular marinated options like bulgogi (thinly sliced beef) and galbi (short ribs), as well as unmarinated favorites like samgyeopsal (pork belly) and chadolbagi (thinly sliced brisket).
Banchan (Side Dishes) : Small, refillable plates of fermented or seasoned vegetables. The most iconic is kimchi (spicy fermented cabbage), but other common sides include pickled radish, seasoned bean sprouts, and steamed eggs.
Ssam (The Wrap) : A traditional way to eat the grilled meat is by wrapping it in fresh lettuce or perilla leaves.
Sauces & Dips :
Ssamjang : A thick, savory, and slightly spicy paste made from fermented soybean and chili.
Gireum-jang : A simple dip made of sesame oil, salt, and black pepper, perfect for unmarinated meats.

The Chef will prepare this on BBQ grills outside and bring it inside for us to sample and enjoy.
