Ultimate Korean BBQ Restaurant Guide! 🇰🇷 5 Amazing Places in Seoul!

#korea #barbecue #seoul

Hello everyone! In this video we take you to 5 different amazing barbecue restaurants in Seoul, and explain how to eat a variety of different types of meat in hopes of giving you some good recommendations on where to go, and also hopefully to help you know how to eat it. There are so many different types of Korean barbecue that we couldn't jam them all into one video, so we're hoping to continue this guide in the future in Busan to make it a series. Thank you all so much for all of your encouragement and support, and enjoy!

📍Links to Restaurants
Geum-gogi Bistro (금고기비스트로) - amazing samgyeopsal (삼겹살) / pork belly place that also serves beef in Sinchon (신촌)
Myeongseong Yang-kkochi (명성양꼬치) - yang-kkochi (양꼬치) / lamb skewers in Sinchon (신촌)
Jongsamyuk (종삼육) - great traditional Korean place that's perfect for tourists to try with pork and beef, and we tried galmaegisal (갈매기살) / pork skirt meat
Palgak-do (팔각도) - great sut-bul dak-gabli (숯불닭갈비) franchise in Sindorim (신도림) and many locations that allows you to cook chicken similar to beef/pork
Hanwoo Madang (한우마당) - amazing Hanwoo (한우) / Korean beef place in Guro Digital Complex (구로디지털단지) that's way cheaper than almost any other place I've tried

Hiya folks, great video, I like the style, soundtrack, clips and more, and how you speak both English and Korean; helps learners understand pronunciation! 😊❤ As well your partner speaks Korean only in the video, even though I'm sure her English is great too. I'm going to go through the older videos you've made, can't wait! 😊 I hope your channel blows up and you can enjoy more free offers from restaurants and more, and enjoy the benefits humbly. Many thanks for the content! Would be happy to buy some merch to support you kind folks. 🎉💐 ❤😊Thank you ❤

Thanks for another great video guide Matt and Yujin. On another note I’ve just completed my first 6 days in Korea and Seoul. Tomorrow I go to Busan on the KTX of course with LTF in my pocket. I used the LTF itinerary for Seoul as a guide and I can say the guide enhanced my stay by at least 100%. If it wasn’t for the intense heat that LTF had eluded to in other vlogs I certainly would have done more. That leaves plenty to do next time. If anyone connected to the Korean Government sees this comment please arrange for LTF to at least be given a retainer as judging by the number of interested visitors and potential visitors on the channel. I’m sure LTF is bringing more visitors and making more happy visitors. I am one of those, You know happy visitors spend more money. I think LTF wouldn’t ask themselves, however, an offer would at least be appreciated.

Further, a few thoughts for other visitors. It would be great if LTF completed the menus by providing a guide for coming in by plane. Also I tried Kakao maps and found the lesser places came up with Korean instead of English which was no help for me. I tried Google Maps which looked ok, however, some of the translations were wrong. This caused me to get lost in my first attempt at the Seoul metro. I found that NAVER map was the best for me as an English speaker. Now with some experience with the impressive Seoul public transport I feel I have achieved proficiency. I should have re studied the LTF metro guide earlier. The I would be an expert. Thanks a lot LFT from Busan I will travel to Jeju where I’ll again use your guide. Regards

Great video! This is the type of the video I will go back to several times.

[dericmpark]

Thanks! I'll be in Sinchon tomorrow to move in my daughter's semester abroad at Yonsei. Will these places!

We went to a Skewer restaurant in Yangpyeong and when I walked in and saw the rottesserie table I knew exactly what I was getting into, I have a rottesserie BBQ and it's a fun way to eat. 🤸🏿

Thank you for a wonderful BBQ video. Korean food just isn't the same outside of Korea. I miss food the most! I would love to see different region's/city's food specialties as you travel outside of Seoul and all around Korea in your van. For example: 전주비빔밥. Good luck!

[moneymoy]

Thanks for the great tips! Especially appreciate how you point out details like what to say, when to go, and what to expect as it can be intimidating for foreign travelers like me.

Very interesting video. I grew up in Korea in the 80's and back then, almost all meat was grilled on 연탄 or coal cylinder. 연탄 불고기, or coal beef bulgogi was very common BBQ and normally grilled before serving. I lived in Korea for a year back in early 2000's and recently revisited and it was very hard to find.. you can't beat the taste of Korean beef cooked over 연탄.

Watching you guys eat those BBQ made me crave for some! If you are in Hyehwa-dong area, check out 우정양꼬치 for lamb skewers with student-friendly price. Stay cool!

[joek]

Thanks so much for this guide, it's a brill video that's super informative and as others have said I also found it very useful to hear both of you talking English and Korean on my learning journey.

Thank you so much for the drive link with all the translations, my flashcard app is getting healthier everyday 😅

Can't wait to visit some of these restaurants next month 🙏🏻

[joegracey]

I'm absolutely in love with Yujin. I really hope I meet someone as awesome as her.

[thebroadlife]

I'm traveling to Seoul soon and your guide is really helpful for me to find good BBQ restaurants in the city.

[bobb]

Great advice heading to Korea for the first time in a couple of weeks this was very helpful.

[MichelleCameron]

This is brilliant. Useful even for me in Scotland to know what styles of Korean bbq are available

4:39 That tiny pressure rice cooker looks very steampunk! :)

[misscaroline]

That looks incredible yummy! I made the mistake of watching this video on an empty stomach. 🙃 Now I have eaten dinner and capable of focusing on writing this comment. 😊 Thank for another informative video! Looking forward to seeing the finished van. 🚐

I hope you will get cooler weather soon. Have a lovely week and take care! 🌞🍀🇰🇷

[lisama]

This video couldn’t have come at a better time. Def need this before we go to Korea next month. It is daunting how many Korean bbq places there are. To know what’s good . Thankyou guys, will def be adding these places to my list! ❤

[manlinglim]

Hello, new viewer here, i enjoyed your channel and looking forward to see you venture on your new home. Definitely will wait for your new video everytime. Aja!

[fernandoverzosa]

Thank you for the video. Can you try to video the Gwangalli beach, especially the drone show that’s every Saturday at 8:00 pm and 10:00 pm

[BasicStealthcamping]

funnily enough the algorithm recommended me the 'eating alone' video earlier today so I had just watched that then this popped up! Across both videos as always, very insightful tips, cheers
