Jongro BBQ

The first U.S. export from South Korean chain Jongro BBQ, this late-night barbeque joint hidden on the second floor of a K-Town office building evokes old-school Seoul with vintage signs and movie posters, but the real star here is the meat. So round up a group of carnivorous friends and pack one of the semi-private pavilions. Experts swear by the beef platter, a selection of marinated cuts of ribeye, skirt steak, short rib and chuck cooked tabletop and served with classic banchan sides.
