Authentic KOREAN BBQ in Seoul - Samgyeopsal & Banchans + Korean Craft Beer | Seoul, South Korea

After arriving in Seoul, South Korea, I met up with my boy Sam from Samuel & Audrey. I was so happy to travel with him again after our epic trip through India in November of 2018. 

We headed over to get some authentic Korean barbecue including Samgyeopsal and Banchans. I couldn’t wait to try them!

The restaurant was in an area that’s very popular for nightlife and eateries. The restaurant had a big, inflatable pig outside, so I was expecting some amazing pork!

The tables in the restaurant have a grill set into them where your food is cooked. You have to order two of everything. While everything cooks, you can enjoy some sides, including a vegetable salad with red pepper paste. 

Our cook browned the pork belly on both sides before cutting it into smaller strips and letting them finish cooking. It cost $12 per slab of pork belly, so only $24 total for us. 

Sam showed me how to eat the Samgyeopsal. You take the pork belly strip, dip it into the red pepper paste and soybean sauce, and put it in a piece of lettuce with garlic. Roll it up and shove it into your mouth. It’s a one-biter!

We enjoyed some Korean beer as we ate. I grabbed a leaf, added pork belly, sauce, and garlic, and rolled it up. It was so fresh and juicy with just the right amount of spice! Then I tried a pickled vegetable, which was great! I couldn’t get enough of the Samgyeopsal, though. It was so pungent!

Next up was the Korean salad, which contains seaweed, cabbage, long pieces of bean sprouts, and red pepper paste. It was the best salad ever! The portion size was amazing! I could eat that salad all day!

The great thing about South Korea is that when you eat and run out of something, they give you free refills! You also don’t tip in Korean culture, so the listed price is exactly what you pay.

Next, I tried some seaweed, which was very tasty and kind of spicy! There were also some nice pickles. We added some cabbage and garlic on the grill. I wrapped some pork belly, cabbage, sauce, and garlic paste in lettuce and ate it all together. It was so incredible! The garlic almost reminded me of wasabi!

I had to rank Korean food up there with Indian and Japanese food. It was that phenomenal! I loved all of the spices and flavors. It was one of my favorite meals of all-time! The experience was unbeatable!

After our meal, it was about 10 p.m. on a Sunday night. The area we were in was dying down, but Sam and I headed out to explore a bit. The area felt like Tokyo, with all of the flashing neon lights.

We found a craft beer spot called Michin Dak, or Crazy Chicken! Sam ordered for us in Korean. I ordered a pale ale and Sam went with a German beer. This place specializes in chicken and beer, which is a popular combination in Korea.

The beers were great! Sam’s was sweet, while mine was very light and hoppy, with a fruity and slightly bitter flavor. It was a damn good beer! Then I went with a South Korean hefeweizen, which was fruity and contained either passionfruit or dragonfruit!

What a night of amazing food and great drinks!
