Korean BBQ is a whole experience. You’ll first have to decide which dish you want to get — kalbi, bulgogi, samgyeopsal, etc. — and then head to a restaurant that specializes in it.
Once there, you’ll sit around a grill with a large tube hanging over it and grill the meat yourself as the tube sucks up the smoke. Grilling the meat the right way is an art that all Koreans have mastered.
The meat is accompanied by banchans, or side dishes, which can include kimchi, spicy radish salad, steam vegetables and more. You can also ask for rice and soup. To go all the way, order soju and beer, and mix it to make delicious somek.
