Annyeonghaseyo!
It’s obvious that Korean culture has a huge influence, especially K-Pop. But when it comes to food, there has been a noticeable surge of Korean restaurants all over the country serving up familiar and unfamiliar Korean food.
While Korean cuisine has so much to offer – top-notch street food, chicken + beer, noodle stews, and so(ju) much more – one rising star has set our food scene on fire. 3 words, say it and we’re yours: Korean Barbecue Grill.
If you’re going to give in to temptation, you might as well go to the best! Check out some of our favorite spots for KBBQ in the Metro:
