"Need something nice, but not too stuffy? Somewhere you can eat with people who aren’t huge fans of noise, crowds, and beer towers? Choose Yoon Haeundae Galbi. Technically a few blocks north of Koreatown, the double-decker spot has leather-padded banquettes, gentle mood lighting creeping up the walls, and sets of beef and pork starting around $150. Their specialiy is short rib, and even the non-marinated version is lush and flavorful. Get it, in addition to ribeye and New York strip, and supplement with an eggy Busan pancake embedded with beef and shrimp." - hannah albertine, neha talreja, bryan kim, kenny yang
