The 38 Best Restaurants in Seoul, South Korea

"Open for: Lunch through dinner every day Price range: $$ Right from its debut in 2019, Mongtan established itself as a quintessential barbecue spot. The signature udae galbi (long beef rib) is a real crowd-pleaser. It’s first cooked in the kitchen over a blazing straw fire — which might seem like a gimmick, but actually gives the meat its distinctive aroma and flavor — before it’s seared over sizzling-hot metal pot lids at the table to finish. Complete your meal with naengmyeon (cold buckwheat noodles) or onion fried rice. Know before you go: Always expect to wait at least a couple of hours." - Matty Kim
