Real Korean BBQ that Korean people love

This restaurant is to enjoy the real Korean BBQ. I visited one Korean BBQ house for dinner. I found one good restaurant for Korean BBQ. BBQ means roasting on a rack over a source of heat. I like BBQ so much and I enjoy it at least once a week. I like meat barbecued over charcoal but I cannot use charcoal as I live in the apartment. So I visit this kind of restaurant for enjoying Korean BBQ with charcoal grilling.

 

We have many kinds of food for Korean BBQ. Pork is the most popular food here in Korea. Beef, chicken are also popular. Besides, we grill shrimps, sausages, mushrooms, too. This time, I barbequed many kinds of food at the same time and really enjoyed them.

 

This is the restaurant I visited on that day. The name of restaurant is "CHAMSOOT HWARO JINJEONG ". CHAMSOOT menas real charcoal, HWARO is a kind of fire pan. JINJEONG means authentic, genuine. We can have Korean pork and beef BBQ. We also grill many kinds of part such as belly, neck, rib, etc. 

 

 

This is a typical inside view of Korena BBQ house. Many tables and chairs. You can see fire pan in the center of table and ventilation system haning from the ceiling for each table. It sucks the smoke from BBQ and let it go outside. That is why there is no smoke inside the restaurant.

 

Here is the menus and prices. There are so many kinds of pork and beef parts you can order. I found the set menu on the book. I ordered PORK COUPLE, the price is 37,000 won (31 USD) This menu includes pork belly, pork belly with garlick skirtmeat, prawn, sausage, beverage. It is very good for 2 people.

 

Wow, look at this. After I ordered, many side dishes were set and charcoal took its place. I love this kind of table setting. This is one of many reasons why I like Korean BBQ so much. So many side dishes, so many things to enjoy BBQ with. 

 

 

Seeing above 2 pictures, what do you think it is? Can you guess it? Yes, it is pork skin. This was not what I ordered. It was free. They serve this for free whoever ordered. Thanks to it, I really enjoyed this one. Pork skin was also grilled on the charcoal. The charcoal was so hot and pork skin was grilled so fast. I should turn them over very quickly. Otherwise it would be overburnt.

 

 

This is a Korean way to enjoy pork skin bbq. After grilling it, you can have it without any sauce. It also tastes so good. A bit oily but the texture is fantastic.

 

 

The yellow powder in the picture is bean powder. You can have pork skin bbq with bean powder. It tastes better. Very typical Korean way to enjoy this one.

 

While grilling and eating pork skin bbq, what I ordered was served. You can see pork belly, pork belly with garlic, 2 prawns, sausage, mushroom, skirtmeat. With one order, I could taste many kinds of things. You can order only pork belly or skirtmenat. But sometimes, I want to enjoy a few kinds of meat at the same time. 

 

This is very special and unique, I think. Pork belly with garlic. Once they marinated pork belly in their own way and added garlic like this. When it comes to Korean bbq, garlic is essential food material. You cannot talk Korean BBQ without mentioning garlic. 

 

This mean is what I like. It's skirtmeat. Unlike pork belly, it doesn't have fat much. However, the texture is very good and tender. It's a bit like steak when you grill on the charcoal.

 

 

On the charcoal, everything is being barbequed. The fire is very strong and cooked very quickly. If you don't turn over often, it will be overburnt easily. In this restaurant, I grilled everything from the beginning to the end. But some restaurants, the staffs grill everything for customers. In this case, the price of meat is a little bit high. 

 

 

After a while, everything was done and I started eating. First, I picked up pork belly. Even without any sauce, it tasted fantastic. A little bit of fat, good amount of lean meant, everything is good. If you have it with salt, you can enjoy it better. In this restaurant, they serve mineral salt, so that I could enjoy pork belly bbq better. 

 

This is also very typical Korean bbq sauce with onion. Onion goes very well with any kind of bbq, especially pork bbq. They serve sliced onion in the sauce based with soy sauce. As you dip bbq in this sauce, it tastes better. One of my favorite sauces for BBQ.

 

This is also very famous side dish for enjoying pork bbq. It's bean sprout with hot pepper powder. They also put some salted seafood sauce in it. Then, it tastes good and ready to enjoy BBQ. When you visit Korea, you must enjoy Korean BBQ with this kind of side dish.

 

 

Sliced radish is very good with pork bbq. It's not just sliced radish. They make this with a little bit of vinegar and sugar. It's a little sour and sweet. The texture of radish is still crunch. When you wrap cooked meat in sliced radish, it is very good. Two thums up!

 

Technically, this is not sushi but it looks sushi. I like eating Korean bbq in this way, too. Putting one piece of cooked meat on the rice, you can put wasabi on it. Just no vinegar, almost same as sushi. It tastes so good. You can enjoy the flavor of bbq and taste of wasabi at the same time.

 

 

There are so many side dishes and things to enjoy Korean bbq. Picked sesame leaf is also good wrapping for bbq. A little bit salty and delicious. It goes very well with BBQ. Wrapping bbq in lettuce with soy bean paste and garlic, I don't have to explain about this. It's already so famous Korean way to enjoy BBQ.

 

After eating all, I enjoyed grilled prawn for the last. Grilling prawns on the charcoal is so special. It's totally different from grilling it in the pan. I think charcoal fire makes flavor special. 

 

I can say this is authentic Korean bbq and how to enjoy Korean bbq. This is not special anymore for Korean people but it might be special and challenging way to enjoy BBQ. When you visit Korea, I recommend you to visit one restaurant like this and enjoy Korean bbq. It will be your unforgettable memory in your life.
