I asked for the best restaurant for Korean BBQ in Seoul, and several of my colleagues recommended Byeokje Galbi Bangi. To be upfront – I was not disappointed; it was an amazing experience. Yes, it is expensive, but in my view, worth every penny. Upon arrival, I was taken to a small private room on the first floor and immediately greeted by an incredibly kind, competent, and friendly lady who would be my grill master for the evening. I followed her recommendations and had two exclusive "Diamond Cut Ribs," one natural and one marinated. Especially the natural rib was extremely marbled and had an incredibly good beef flavor. The restaurant employs a dedicated buyer who only purchases the top 1% of available beef, and you can taste it. The grilling is done professionally on a super-hot charcoal grill. The side dishes provided, from premium kimchi to various salads and pickles, are all of the highest quality. I briefly considered ordering more but ultimately had to stop. I will definitely return when I'm in Seoul.
