The Top 9 Korean BBQ Restaurants in America!


Korean BBQ is one of the biggest thrills in dining. There’s something about grilling your own meal that just appeals to, well.. everyone. Fresh grilled meats and vegetables are a healthy dining out option but Korean BBQ is more than just the food. The companionable and entertaining atmosphere found around the grill is unmatched in any other dining setting. Korean BBQ is just a fun way to spend a night out.

For our top Korean BBQ pick we travel to Duluth, GA. Breakers Korean BBQ offers a different BBQ dining experience. The restaurant oozes sophistication and class and offers a zen-like environment. White booths, low lighting, bamboo chandeliers and ceramic pottery displayed throughout make up the décor. The BBQ grills are down-drafted to avoid annoying metal hoods hanging over each table. They serve superior meat products such as 5 layer pork belly, 21 day aged short ribs, and use ribeye instead of the traditional tenderloin for their bulgogi. There are even a few surprises on their menu, such as their berry house salad and sweet potato bisque. Breakers Korean BBQ really breaks the mold for Korean BBQ and earns our top spot!

If you are tired of traditional Korean BBQ and are looking for something a little different, try BellyQ in Chicago, IL. This is Korean fusion at its best. A trip to one of their grill tables will get you a selection of meats, sides and desserts all picked out by the chef.

When you go to a Korean BBQ restaurant the good time is part of the appeal. We recommend 678 Hawaii in Honolulu. The cool, kitschy décor and high tech innovation is part of the draw. Servers are young and fun and wear earpieces so they can talk to each other. There are also interactive call buttons that directly communicate with servers watches. You never have to wait for anything. The restaurant itself is modern and sleek, metal hood vents at each table and metal can chairs with built in purse storage. The décor is overloaded with hilarious cutouts of Korean comedian Kang Ho Dang, the restaurant founder. They offer different flavored soju in gold teapots and K-pop is always playing in the background. Their pigskin special is a restaurant favorite. 678 Hawaii is always busy, but people say the wait is never long and an inviting array of appetizers is waiting for you when you get seated. Be sure to sign their guest wall before you leave.

If you are familiar with Korean BBQ, you know about pork belly. For many it’s the only thing to order. To these people we say check out Palsaik Korean BBO in Los Angeles, CA. Their focus is this wonderful meat and all its health benefits. Pork belly is offered in eight different flavors, which is the direct translation of the restaurant name. Each flavor is supposed to benefit a different health concern. They offer a Palsaik Set Menu where you can try a sampler of each different pork flavor and it is their most popluar dish. Set in a strip mall in popular K-Town, the restaurant is minimalist and modern. But everyone knows the real draw here is the food. Palsaik is the perfect place to give the other white meat a try. And let’s face it, nothing goes better with soju!
