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

"This popular Seoul restaurant chain has already established itself in Korea with over 200 branches and several in the greater Los Angeles area, including in Koreatown. The first San Diego outpost sits off Clairemont Mesa Boulevard, quickly establishing itself as a local favorite with returning customers making up more than half the clientele since it opened last year. The restaurant specializes in yukgaejang, a Korean stew made with shredded beef brisket and vegetables in a spicy bone broth with ramen or thick noodles. Also on the menu is the wildly popular bossam, boiled pork belly marinated in the house-made secret sauce for 24 hours that sells out so often that the kitchen makes two to three batches a day. On warm days, cool down with the brisket cold soup with buckwheat noodles." - Helen I. Hwang
