Korean barbecue is the method of roasting beef, pork, chicken, or other types of meat.
Here's a detailed guide on how to eat Korean BBQ in a Korean restaurant!
1. Sitting down to the table.
2. Ordering meat
Most Korean BBQ restaurants offer both beef and pork on the menu. Some places specialize in one or the other, and you can often tell which by looking at the sign outside. If there’s a picture of a pig on it, they specialize in pork. If there’s a picture of a cow on it, they specialize in beef. Sometimes you’ll see a picture of a duck, too! But usually a pig or cow.
These are layered pork belly called 'Samgyeopsal'.
In my opinion they are the most popular one in Korea, and I would recommend them.
These can include at least one kind of kimchi, a green onion salad (pajeori: 파절이), pickled sliced onion, or a radish pickle. Most Korean BBQ restaurants serve bean paste stew for free of charge (but not always). If the restaurant is more generous, you will get an even wider variety of side dishes.
4. Cooking the meat
After you order meat, your sever will start up the grill. Depending on the restaurant, they'll usually take responsibility for the cooking and stop in now and then to turn over the meat so it's cooked evenly. Tongs are next to the grill, so you might need to do it yourself if they're busy, so keep and eye on it so the meat doesn't burn.
5. Ordering alcohol
This step for over 21, should order a Korean vodka: soju. It’s a clear, slightly sweet, Korean alcoholic beverage made with potato or tapioca starch, although traditionally it was made with rice. At 20% ABV it’s stronger than beer.
