Buga Korean BBQ Restaurant

Best Restaurants for Korean Food and Barbecue in San Diego | Eater San Diego

"One of the first Korean barbecue restaurants in the area, this Clairemont Mesa establishment has been serving grilled meats since 2001. The broad menu caters to just about everyone, including from AYCE options, a la carte, and Korean stews. Most tables are set up with barbecue grills. There are three tiers for the AYCE with the top level offering New York strip steak and black tiger shrimp; each level also has a more wallet-friendly kids pricing for ages 10 and under. The a la carte menu features combo meals with quality meats like beef short rib filet, LA galbi, beef tongue, and black tiger shrimp. It’s also one of the only places in town with makgeolli (Korean rice wine) on draft." - Helen I. Hwang
