(Updated in Nov 2021) 유용욱 바베큐연구소 Yoo Young Wook Barbecue Lab Meal budget per person (without drinks) Category 3 (over 120000 KRW, 100 USD) Following to my last visit in Q3 for autumn menu, I visit again to taste the new winter menu. New table and new chairs are helpful for me to focus on the cuisine more comfortably. For creativity, each menu is changed by every 3 months with seasonal ingredients. Some signature menu like smoked Oyster or Beef rib remain same. Unfortunately, smoked tartare with dried laver can not be experienced again on Winter menu. But, the new dish, a smoked Octopus is an extraordinary taste. The Octopus is from famous Tongyoung Sea, so it is fresh and chewy. The restaurant provides serious of signature barbecue dishes (Iberico Bacon, Beef Rib, Pork belly steamed bun) and this new menu is helpful in-between. It should have been much better if Sherbet could be offered in the menu configuration because the serious of meat could make feel greasy. If I should be very prudent again in selecting words for expression, the dishes are "divine" with "full of flavor". And the story telling for each dishes by the famous Chef YW Yoo is another charm of this restaurant. I look forward to the next seasonal menu already. (Initial posting in Sept 2021) 유용욱 바베큐연구소 Yoo Young Wook Barbecue Lab Meal budget per person (without drinks) Category 3 (over 120000 KRW, 100 USD) Like my first impression with Born & Bred in Majang-dong, I am surprised at first by the shabby location in Namyong Arcade, but then, surprised once again with the pride and taste by the restaurant and his owner Chef, Mr. Young Wook Yoo. The restaurant is in the building (Aarcade) with 100-year history (constructed in year 1922) and the dining space is not luxurious at all. There is neither valet parking nor self-parking lots. The tables do not have much Knee space, so it may be uncomfortable for dining, but- However, all tables are fully booked by end this year in deed. For each lunch and dinner, it can afford 8, 6, 4 guests in each 3 rooms. For creativity, each menu is changed by every 3 months with seasonal ingredients. If I should be very prudent in selecting words for expression, the dishes are "devine" with "full of flavor". And the story telling for each dishes by the famous Chef YW Yoo is another charm of this restaurant. I look forward to the next seasonal menu already.

Awesome! We have to walk 2 hours to digest the amount! Will definitely revisit this fabulous restaurant again.

state of art bbq. you can feel the chef’s passion and desire to complete bbq experience. oyster, onion soup, bacon, roast chicken, beef bbq, rice bowl and even ramen all of these will give you unforgettable taste.

Amazing dinner. Walked two hours home.

A great place to visit for a special occasion, especially if you like BBQ dishes. The owner really puts a lot of energy into developing and cooking the food he serves and I can see that he also improves over time. It’s very difficult to book the reservation, so act early if you want to try this place. A must try.

<유용욱 바베큐연구소>에서 런치코스(스모크드 오이스터, 컬리플라워 스프, 한돈 베이컨, 차드 샐러드, 시그니처 비프립, 차와 군고구마 아이스크림, 그리고 치킨버거 별도주문)... 오픈 때부터 눈여겨 보아두었는데 예약하기가 너무 힘들어서 미루다가 일단 예약부터 질러놓고 사람들 모아서 겨우 방문했슴다...ㅋㅋ 메뉴와 가격은 사진 참조~

예약이 어렵지만 충분히 기다릴만한 가치가 있음. 시그니처 립의 맛이 정말 역대급. 사람들이 배가 불러서 마지막에 라면과 함께 시킬수 있는 치킨버거를 패스하는데 꼭 드셔보시길 추천. 지금까지 먹어본 치킨버거중 손에 꼽는 맛. 소장님이 직접 손으로 내려주시는 커피 역시 일품!
