If you are looking for KBBQ with high quality meat, authentic Korean dishes, and tasty banchan, #K-Street KBBQ is the spot for you! Our party of 4 made reservations in advance so we were seated right away when we arrived. The restaurant was lively and filled with customers which is always a good sign, especially on a Wednesday night.
Our group was hungry so we ordered a lot of food. We got: Corn Cheese, Haemul Pajun (Seafood Pancake), Yukhoe (Raw Marinated Beef Tartare), Dwaeji Gukbap (Grandma's Pig Bone Soup), and the Mix Combo - Small. Everything was DELICIOUS, and we had more than enough food for the 4 of us.
Corn Cheese - a classic at KBBQ; a little sweet, a little cheesy, you just can't go wrong!
Haemul Pajun - I have to get seafood pancake whenever I go out for Korean food and #K-Street nailed it! The pancake was perfectly crispy, had the right dough to seafood ratio, and came with a yummy sauce. It has become my favorite seafood pancake of all Korean restaurants, and I've tried a lot!!
Yukhoe - I was so excited to try this dish because I love tartare and boy, did #K-Street deliver! The marinated beef in the tartare was beautifully flavored and it was the perfect temperature. The raw beef mixed with the egg yolk, cucumber, and Asian pear was *chef's kiss*. I found it to be a really unique offering as I don't often see yukhoe at other Korean restaurants!
Dwaeji Gukbap - They call it Grandma's Pig Bone Soup for a reason. When you take a sip, it feels like you're sitting in grandma's kitchen as she hovers over the stove, crafting her stews and telling you to eat more. The soup is comforting and rich in flavor. I loved eating it alongside a bowl of white rice. This is a must when you go to #K-Street!
Mix Combo - I was honestly shocked when our server put the platter of meat down on our table because 1) it was beautiful and 2) she said it was a size small. There is nothing small about this platter! All of the beef had beautiful marbling, and you could tell that all of the meat was fresh and high quality. This was even more apparent after grilling and eating it. The King Prime Short Rib was my favorite cut!
Our servers were nice and attentive throughout the evening, and service was pretty prompt. They frequently changed out our grill plates and refilled banchan as needed. I appreciated that K-pop was playing in the background to match the restaurant's vibes. Overall, it was a lovely experience and I can't wait to go back to #K-Street. They are officially my go-to KBBQ spot and I can't wait to try new dishes the next time I go!
