"If there’s one thing synonymous with Korean cuisine, it’s barbecue, known as bulgogi . In Seoul, dining at a barbecue restaurant is a communal affair. Friends gather around a table and order generous portions of marinated beef or pork, which servers then grill right in front of them. For an elevated experience, visit one of Maple Tree House’s four locations. Each outpost boasts a sleek, contemporary atmosphere and uses only quality cuts of meat. The barbecue-averse can enjoy traditional dishes like noodles, stews, and bibimbap , while first-timers will be relieved to find a friendly bilingual staff who can walk them through the process."
