the official I <3 korean bbq thread

[Aeros]

I know I'm not the only one here who loves this stuff.

[poly800rock]

yeah, i love that sauce...

[mis]

Korean bacon strips are the shit

[Aeros]

When I was in Japan I ate this stuff practically every day. Man there is nothing quite like Kobe Galbi grilled to perfection.

[prima]

go to japan to eat korean barbeque everyday?

[Carl]

korean bbq and yakuniku (the japanese adaptation) are very similar but not the same thing. the meat used is somewhat different and korean bbq usually comes with tons of other plates like pickled vegies, kind of korean pancake (always forget the name of that stuff, soooo good), etc and IMO, it kind of distract you from eating meat. anyway, i'm also a sucker for that stuff, last week in Hawaii, i blew like 160 $ for a 2 ppl dinner at Gyu-kaku

You mean yakiniku. Thanks for pointing out the differences. I swear that they gave me kimchi when I got yakiniku in Japan though...

[herpsky]

yakinuku restaurants have kimchi.

[Aeros]

BTW, Gyutan is awesome. If any of you guys haven't tried it yet I highly recommend it.

[xcoldricex]

i miss korea

[xcoldricex]

this stuff was even more amazing. i forge't what it's called though.

[dismalfuture]

hahaha. Korean BBQ is one of the only reasons to come to Korea, and over here it's like $10 a head including some drinks. At my favorite place, 3 or 4 guys can eat until they're full, including some beers, for about $30.

That first place looks pretty nice coldrice, impressed with the spread there. That second pic looks like you're grilling up some Chadolbahki or something. I gotta give a thumbs down on what looks to be a gas grill though; proper Korean BBQ MUST be done over charcoals...

[xcoldricex]

second place was some famous hole in the wall apparently - had to wait like an hour outside in the cold to get a spot. didn't have a million famous people signatures on the wall though.

[dismalfuture]

particularly impressed (or maybe its early and I'm just hungry) with the grilled kimchi X tofu X potato X onion wedge X mushroom X garlic X grillin in pork fat grease combination you have going on at the top, I'm more picky about the sides than the actual meat...

[mis]

coldrice: I can imagine that piece of meat/fat just melting in my mouth. Damn this thread is making me hungry

[Aeros]

I just had some Korean BBQ tonight. I went with the Galbi this time around. I had bulgogi two weeks ago.

[lil brown brother]

this thread is making me hungry ....

[ayn]

i like k bbq but at some places my jeans smell like bbq for a week afterwards... lol...

[xcoldricex]

korea has some crazy cocktail soju too.

[Chicken]

i love this thread.

(thank goodness for 32nd and broadway. otherwise, i would be doomed.)

yes, coldrice, soju! i also love the korean tradition, how you have to down your drink when someone offers to pour you some more.

[xcoldricex]

mannnn

pineapple soju cocktail made in a hollowed out pineapple and you take shots out of a shot glass made out of an apple.

tasty.

[Aeros]

That looks incredible coldrice.

[phuphyter]

this stuff was even more amazing. i forge't what it's called though.

Brisket!!! I don't know what it's called in Korean, but everytime I go to my korean bbq spot, I only order that ($10 all you can eat!) In addition to the sides and sauces, they also serve these rice paper squares that you wrap/eat the meat with. Does anybody know what that's called?

[BTT]

korean bbq makes you smell like shit afterwards though

[phuphyter]

Makes you shit too, if you eat enough. Sooo worth it though.

[daikonyama]

Haha, I just ate a ton of that stuff last night... pretty damn gluttonous, but so damn good.

And the most elaborate soju cocktail I've had is yogurt + soju. La-dee-da... I want a hollowed out apple...

[djrajio]

i blew like 160 $ for a 2 ppl dinner at Gyu-kaku

Holy shit. Gyu-kaku is serious. I can't imagine spending that amount at the Torrance or New York restaurant though. How much did u eat? Even here in Tokyo, I dunno if I can spend that much for 2 on Gyu-kaku!?

Hahaha Im korean, and that meat is called cha-dul-bae-gi. I eat these things on a daily basis.
