1. Blue Roof Town Gangnam (청기와타운 강남역점) Gangnam
If Seoul had a rib siren, this would be it: thick-cut LA galbi lacquered in soy, pear, and garlic, seared over steady heat until the sugars glass and the bone-side sings. The aroma is deep and toasty; the meat pulls cleanly, with that buttery chew only proper marination gives. Office lunches spill into early dinners here, and for good reason.
- Order this: LA Premium Ribs set; finish with doenjang stew or icy mul-naengmyeon for a classic ending.
