The Korean BBQ experience


On one of our first few nights in Korea, we went out with our friends TJ and Melissa and their son to a hole in the wall Korean BBQ.

It was very very small restaurant, lacking decor of any kind. You sit on bucket like stools huddled around a Korean gas grill tables.You cook the meat yourself on the little grill in the center of the table.

I dont know the proper names for all that was ordered, but here are the highlights:

  • pork
  • spicy bean paste
  • tofu soup with a crab broth
  • lettuce wraps
  • sticky rice
  • an egg and spinach omelet type thing (SO GOOD)
  • various other condiment items (garlic, etc)

You take a lettuce leaf, and pile in whatever filling you choose and then shove the whole thing in your mouth. My vegetarian version was excellent and I know all the meat eaters loved theirs.

Wow, that looks very cool! Is that type of eating out experience common over there? I bet something like that would do very well here in the states.
