"Best known for marinated galbi, Byeokje Galbi has been a quintessential, high-end Korean barbecue house since 1986. For years, they have sourced the highest-quality hanwoo beef from daily auctions, with the price tag to match. For the top-grade meat, which they label seol-hwa (“snow flower,” a reference to the marbling), the signature diamond-cut galbi starts at 60,000 won ($47) per 100 grams, ranging up to 100,000 won ($80) per 100 grams for their “ultimate” striploin steak. In addition to meat, the restaurant employs masters of naengmyeon (cold buckwheat noodles) and gomtang (beef bone soup, milky white from a long simmer) with decades of experience." - Matty Kim
