Must-Try Dishes at Jongro BBQ

  • Beef Bulgogi: At Jongro BBQ, the Beef Bulgogi is a dish that truly stands out. Marinated in a sweet and savory sauce, the thinly sliced beef is grilled to tender perfection, offering a melt-in-your-mouth experience. This signature Korean dish captures the essence of traditional Korean barbecue, making it a must-try for both first-time visitors and regulars.
  • Galbi (Short Rib): Another highlight of the menu is the Galbi, or Korean Short Rib. These ribs are marinated in a rich blend of soy sauce, garlic, and sugar, then grilled to achieve a delicious balance of sweet and savory flavors. The meat is so flavorful and tender that it effortlessly falls off the bone, providing a deeply satisfying culinary experience.
  • Samgyeopsal (Pork Belly): Samgyeopsal, or grilled pork belly, is a favorite among patrons at Jongro BBQ. Served unmarinated, this dish allows the natural flavors of the pork to shine through, enhanced only by the smoky notes from the grill. It's enjoyed wrapped in lettuce with garlic, ssamjang (spicy dipping sauce), and other sides, creating a delightful mix of textures and tastes.
  • Spicy Pork Bulgogi: For those who prefer a bit of heat, the Spicy Pork Bulgogi is an excellent choice. The pork is marinated in a spicy and sweet sauce, then grilled to infuse the meat with the fiery flavors of Korean chilies. This dish offers a kick that spice lovers will appreciate, making it a memorable part of the Jongro BBQ experience.
  • Korean Soju and Makgeolli: No meal at Jongro BBQ would be complete without sampling traditional Korean beverages. Soju, a clear rice liquor, is the perfect companion to the rich flavors of the grilled meats. For a milder option, Makgeolli, a sweet rice wine with a milky consistency, offers a refreshing and slightly fizzy drink that complements the meal wonderfully.
